AMI is pleased to announce that MTWA-2. , the Institute's 33ft-10.4 metre sailing yacht will be sailing into Western Australia in October.  The MTWA-2 will open new opportunities and create new access pathways to education and vocational training.

The boat is earmarked as a training vessel for Young Adult Programs to underpin training such as:   At Risk Youth and Navy Cadets. 

The primary objective of such programs is to return lost values and skills to the maritime industry; to attract the youth of today back to a career on the ocean, to provide a counteractive measure to assist the maritime industry's demise in its workforce of qualified and skilled maritime seafarers; and to develop young adults for tomorrow's world.

Within this objective an important role the boat will perform is to act as an incentive that motivates and rewards young individuals who are not conventional learners and or may not have had access to normal training opportunities but wish to develop themselves, a career and to become valued members of the community.

The industry, schools, local community and wider public will be invited to view the MTWA-2 once she is fully refitted.  It is anticipated that her official launch will take place in November and the Maritime Training WA's friendly crew will be at hand to answer any inquiries.
