During O-Week, Midshipmen learn the basics through sail training. Here, they work together to rig their vessels. Once they demonstrate their skills, they are sail qualified by the instructor. Here, Midshipmen continue their effort to prepare the sailboats for launch. Once on the water, the Midshipmen have to work in pairs to operate the sailboats.
Sailing can be very complex, but with teamwork it can be accomplished with ease.
The Midshipmen showed their ability to work together to complete their qualification.
