Cutter Valiant commemorated Memorial Day with a crew exchange with Cutter Eagle May 25, 2015 transiting the Eastern seaboard for its summer training deployment. Eagle is the only tall ship in government service. The 295-foot cutter is primarily used as an underway classroom for Coast Guard Academy cadet and officer candidates as part of their leadership development and on-hands seamanship training. For most of Valiant’s crew, it was the first experience of old-school sailing tradition handling the Eagle’s more than 200 lines that control the sails and yards, in addition to more than 22,000 square feet of sail and five miles of rigging.
