This is Naval Academy Sailing
An integral part of the professional development
of midshipmen at USNA
Creating competent leaders and seamen of midshipmen while developing endurance, self-reliance, and the will to win in an environment similar to that in which they will serve.
Teaching teamwork under the controlled stress of close quarters in small boats, while contending with environmental forces at sea.
Providing an unparalleled opportunity for midshipmen to develop leadership and seamanship skills in a small unit laboratory setting.
