Embark on a journey of growth, courage, and the unwavering spirit of those who chart their own course.
In July of 1999, Brian Boland reported in with the class of 2003 at the United States Coast Guard Academy. Quickly immersed in an academically and physically demanding curriculum, Brian joined the sailing team hoping to find relief from the day-to-day grind. With little experience on boats, he dove headfirst into the sport of racing sailboats and immediately gravitated towards its practical lessons in seamanship. Juxtaposing structured academic studies 'up the hill' with the dynamic environment of offshore sailing, Brian found that the two were, at times, at odds with each other.
As he trades textbooks for tillers, Brian finds solace on the deck of an old boat named Rampage, where the open sea becomes his classroom, and he grapples with the high stakes demands of maritime leadership while learning valuable lessons in seamanship and resilience.
Selected as the team captain in his senior year, Brian graduates with a deep respect for and nascent understanding of the sea. As a Coast Guard officer, Brian served over 20 years on active duty, primarily as a search and rescue pilot. From those experiences, he shares dramatic accounts of flying through tropical storms, hurricanes, and across vast swathes of open ocean, applying those same lessons he learned as a young cadet on the deck of Rampage.
