In a 1 year maritime SBO program, organized by SVOOBE, drop outs from the regular school system are being trained to help maintaining boats and work in the touristic water activities on the island. This year 13 boys and 1 girl chose to enjoy this second chance. In September the first part of the training started with subjects such as social skills, basic calculation and swimming. Just before they can start with their job training three days a week, they will now experience the same exhilaration as many tourist do while grinding a winch and trimming a sail in a thrilling race against each other. For some students it will actually be their first time sailing.
