Description

Nui Dat, South Vietnam. August 1971. Sapper Frank Moelands climbs onto one of the Nui Dat Sailing Club's yachts before taking Sapper Larry Richards, a newcomer to the sport, out for a practice run. Both are members of 21 Engineer Support Troop. Although the club's course is small, it provides new sailors with plenty of problems because of variable wind conditions in the area.
