Description

Eagle is more than a school for seamanship. She also provides, an unparalleled opportunity for aspiring seagoing officers to develop confidence, courage and good judgment: precisely the qualities the Coast Guard needs in its leaders. If wind is the force that can drive the ship, it is human ingenuity that has developed the means harness that force, and it is the crew who mucht employ those means to make it happen. In Eagle, cadets are the crew. To sail the ship they must learn to work together as a team, to be decisive in circumstances that can be both frightening and physically demanding, to give and responds to commands quickly and clearly. and in the end, there can be few experience as intensely satisfying as the successful accomplishment of a sailing evolution.
The philosophy of sail training is reflected in the U.S. Coast Guard Academy cadet mission:
To graduate young men and women with sound bodies, stout hearts, and alert minds, with a liking for the sea and its lore, and with the high sense of honor, loyalty, and obedience which goes with trained initiative and leadership; well grounded in seamanship, the sciences and the amenities; and strong in the resolve to be worthy of traditions of commissioned officers in the United States Coast Guard in the service of their country and humanity.
