⚓️ Learning from the Pros!

Our SVC Marine Tech Rigging class got a first-class, behind-the-scenes tour at Northwest Rigging!

Dylan showed off their impressive Fenn swaging machine, while Quinn demonstrated some professional splicing techniques and walked students through the ins and outs of a working rigging shop. 🪢⛵️

There’s nothing better than taking what students are learning in the classroom and seeing how those skills are used every day in the marine industry.

A huge THANK YOU to Dylan, Quinn, and the Northwest Rigging crew for sharing your time, skills, and industry knowledge with our Skallywags! 🙌⚓️
