What does teamwork really look like?
These are lessons that last a lifetime—and they’re forged under sail.
On the latest Rising Tide episode, Eric Jones paints a vivid picture: cadets climbing the rigging, walking the yardarms, setting and furling square sails, and working together to drive a tall ship up to 18 knots under wind. It’s physical, demanding, and sometimes intimidating—but that’s the point.
Out there, high above the deck, these young men and women learn what “one for all” truly means. Seamanship isn’t just about sails and knots; it’s about trust, shared responsibility, and learning to rely on one another in a challenging environment.
