Why We Sail We teach sailing here at the Naval Academy for one purpose to make competent seamen of our midshipmen who will be the naval leaders of the future. We enter races to find an atmosphere which like combat stretches ability and endurance to the limit for that extra margin required for victory. And we send them to sea to learn the fundamental characteristic of professional seamanship a deepseated sense of humility in the face of nature and her master.
