Learning to Be Nimble on Deck. Sailing a schooner is part of the experience of cadets in training for officers' commissions at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn. [Connecticut]. Though cadets no longer receive all their training aboard ship, they still spend weeks at sea as well as with small boats on the Thames River. Traditions of the Coast Guard are based on its personnel's skill in seamanship.
