Army West Point sailing travelled to SUNY Maritime Academy to attend their Safety at Sea Seminar. Cadets participated in hands-on safety classes on firefighting, pyrotechnics, damage control and man over board drills. Other members of the offshore team launched the team’s 44 foot sloop, Invincible, and moved her down the Hudson to SUNY Maritime for this spring’s competitive season. On Sunday, the offshore team came back together and hosted the Master of the Sword, COL Nicholas Gist, for a practice in Long Island Sound. The Colonel manned the foredeck as CDT’s Ruby Garcia and Nina Tucker put him through his paces on the Invincible.
