ANNAPOLIS, Md. — The Westlawn Institute of Marine Technology’s Yacht and Boat Design Program was recently accredited by the Royal Institution of Naval Architects, according to a release from the RINA.
A nonprofit educational affiliate for the American Boat and Yacht Council, Westlawn was accredited after the RINA determined the program meets the standards for accreditation by preparing its students for yacht and boat design, according to the release.
