Design

Beginning with basic marine terminology (‘port’ vs. ‘starboard’), every MST needs to “speak boat” to be successful. Understanding and producing technical drawings as well as the basics of vessel design as it applies to performance are emphasized. Every technician needs to know the    basics of why boats float and what causes them to sink. The safety of the vessel and crew is     emphasized so the Technician understands the consequences of installations or modifications as they impact the boat’s safety and performance.
