The American Boat & Yacht Council has donated a boat to Cecil College in Chesapeake City, Md., in support of its new Marine Service Technician program.
“We thank ABYC for this generous donation,” Cecil College president Dr. Mary Way Bolt said in a statement. “Their support provides … an invaluable resource that promotes student success and, in turn, helps promote regional economic and workforce development. This donation will enhance student preparedness for high demand marine service technology skills and jobs that advance our citizens and county.”
The school recently launched the Marine Service Technician program with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Bohemia Vista Marina. The donated boat, a Four Winns bowrider, had previously been used for research and testing of alternative fuels.
