U.S. Coast Guard 1st Class Cadet Brock Hassett grips a megaphone and the Coast Guard Tall Ship Eagle’s trident while commanding tacking operations near Belgium shores May 31, 2019. Tacking or coming about is a sailing maneuver by which a sailing vessel turns its bow toward the wind so that the direction from which the wind blows changes from one side to the other, allowing progress in the desired direction.
