    I am currently a student in high school with choices to soon make. I have been sailing my whole life, and have taken up wooden boat building the past few years. I would like some suggestions on colleges that i could earn a degree as a professional boat builder or in yacht design. My grades aren't outstanding in all courses (85-90 average) so i'm a bit worried about that, but this is something i long to do. Please leave some suggestions for me, thanks.

    There is one in Maine- The Landing School. All about boats there. www.landingschool.org. Check it out. Especially if your into wood boat building.

    Try The Marine Trade Center in Eastport Me. It is a great school and But what I CAN TELL YOU IS, IT IS DAMN COLD THERE. I had a good experience. And would recommend the school to anyone.
