    Kings Point Overview

    I don’t get it. If 75% (or some majority) of those attending a maritime academy don’t want to sail why are the doors still open? It seems to me the taxpayers could save over $100mm/year by very slightly expanding the classes at the DOD academies. Those few students that wish to sail would be...

    @AD2023 - My DS is in your exact same position. He has proudly sent a deposit to Mass Maritime and he is very much looking forward to being a Buc this fall. In the event things change we will cross that bridge when we come to it. Sincere best wishes.

    Sailing Team

    Hi All, Long time listener/first time caller. Does anyone know the current status of the KP Dinghy Team? Has a new coach been hired? It’s been difficult to get information from those in charge. Thanks for any info you may be able to share.
