“Attending Bosun School is the best and fastest way to get from being an amateur sail trainee to landing a job as a paid crew member on a traditional sailing ship. Without the financial help from the NSSES, I wouldn’t have been able to attend Bosun School at the end of the 2017 sailing season…” – Rafik
