Members of the NTSB were on campus talking with students this week. During their visit, they joined classes and led a lecture for the Regiment of Midshipmen.

Members of the NTSB were on campus talking with students this week. During their visit, they joined classes and led a lecture for the Regiment of Midshipmen.

This week, students had the opportunity to learn directly from two visiting members of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Bart Barnum, a 2006 Marine Engineering Technology graduate of MMA, and Drew Ehlers, both of whom are investigators of major marine accidents, joined several ...classes during the day and culminated their visit with a lecture to the Regiment of Midshipmen.

As part of their coursework in Casualty Analysis and Workboat Operations at MMA, students delve into the history of the NTSB, its pivotal role, and how its investigative recommendations shape maritime regulations.

Throughout these courses and several others, significant emphasis is placed on pinpointing the root causes of marine casualties to prevent recurrence. This analysis considers Navigation Rules, applicable statutes and regulations, local customs, and the standards of good seamanship.

MMA Head Sailing Coach Patrick DiLalla shares: The Mariners Sailing Team shines bright in California, defeating rivals Navy, Kings Point, and the College of Charleston at the LA Harbor Cup. They did so decisively on the final day of the event this past weekend. Going into the tenth and final race, ...the Mariners were one point behind the USC Trojans and six points ahead of Navy; the rest of the fleet of elite competition was far out of reach of the three front runners. The Mariners team of 8 sailors, led by Captain Nalu Ho, put forth a flawless effort that left no doubt as to who the best team was. They dealt a blow to USC right at the start and took the upper hand immediately. As the race continued, they stretched their lead further and further. Their boat, a terrific machine firing on all cylinders, ran a quarter mile ahead of the fleet. At the helm was Zach York; on the bow was Kyle Carse; Sarah Evans trimmed the Main; Ellis Braga trimmed the jib; Courtney King managed the pit; Aidan Pepperd was the Mastman; and Drake Reid was the Floater. Each member of the team performed their role with relentless attention to detail, resulting in this impressive win at the highest level of college sport.

Congratulations to the MMA Sailing team! They’ve captured their first win at this national event in 15 years!
