Introduction
The purpose of Admiral Farragut
Academy’s Waterfront Program is to stimulate interest in seamanship and to
acquaint cadets with small craft and sailing.
Sailing is a challenging sport that builds confidence and teamwork.
Most of all, sailing is fun and safe, when conducted properly.
The Senior Naval Science Officer is in
charge of all waterfront activities. The
other Naval Science Instructors and Cadet Waterfront Instructors assist him.
A Naval Science Officer must be on hand to supervise sailing.
Normally the waterfront is open after school from 1500-1700 Monday
through Thursday. The waterfront
may be open on weekends, if instructors are available.
Waterfront hours and opening days will be posted outside the Naval
Science Office.
The waterfront is available for use by
all cadets in Upper and Middle School. Successful
completion of the basic sailing qualification is a promotion and graduation
requirement.
Cadets should not wait
until their senior year to earn their qualification. Prior to sailing at the waterfront, cadets are required to
successfully pass a basic swim test, attend sailing ground school, and pass a written
exam.
