Support the future of the boating industry through membership in The Landing School

The men and women earning their education at The Landing School are the very people who will soon be building and outfitting the boats we love. They are trained to incorporate the finest craftsmanship and take the greatest care in the design and construction of every boat.

Membership donations directly support students’ education. Your tax-deductible contribution to The Landing School will sustain continuing developments in the curriculum for these students, make new technologies available to them and offset educational expenses for students with financial needs.

The Landing School provides its membership with many opportunities to interact with students, faculty and fellow supporters. Join us for events hosted by The Landing School, including boat repair and systems workshops, lectures by world-renowned yacht designers and sailors, maritime art shows and social events. Receive e-newsletters and magazines published for supporters and alumni with news about students’ progress, alumni reports, and industry editorial. Join now by making a donation.
