Arundel, Maine - The Landing School of Boatbuilding and Design is hosting its sixth annual Job Fair on April 8th, 2005 at its facility in Arundel, Maine. This event is a tremendous opportunity for employers to attract the most qualified entry marine professionals currently available. The dwindling marine trades labor pool is a growing concern across the nation. For the last 26 years, The Landing School has worked diligently to fill this critical industry need. To date the school has educated nearly 1000 career-oriented individuals in boatbuilding, yacht design, and marine systems technician skill sets. By doing so The Landing School has earned remarkable industry accolades as heard from Carl Cramer (publisher of WoodenBoat and Professional BoatBuilder) "The Landing School, the foremost boatbuilding educational facility in the world." Persons interested in the Landing School, its Annual Job Fair, Boatbuilding, Design, and Marine Systems Programs, can contact the school at P.O.

From Boating Industry Wednesday November 3, 2004 PALM BEACH, Fla. – Palm Beach County voters approved a referendum question yesterday that allows the government to borrow $50 million to buy development rights to privately owned marinas, build new boat ramps and create more public parking, according to several newspaper reports. The intention of the proposal is to preserve and grow public access to the waterfront by preventing real estate developers from buying up marinas and replacing them with condos, reported the Palm Beach Post. Currently, while there are 40,000 registered boats in the county, 26,500 of which are on trailers, there are only nine public marinas and 550 parking spaces at public launches, according to the Sun-Sentinel.
