We've been looking for a solid boat for local day trips. SeaWard has plenty of deck space for students to do their research work. SeaWard is giving many OCC students an opportunity to discover the marine environment firsthand. She is currently being fitted with a crane and hydraulic winch along with other research gear. She'll be taking students to various research spots of Orange County's coast, two or three days per week.
Orange Coast operates the largest public sailing program in the United States.
The program features two dozen sailboats, including several large boats. More than 6,000 people annually take classes at OCC's waterfront facility. The sailing program operates seven days per week, with classes meeting mornings, afternoons and evenings at the sailing and marine facility.
