A new partnership between the Rhode Island-based school and American Magic supports the present and future of the marine and composite fabrication industries.
With nine graduates of Newport’s IYRS School of Technology and Trades already working in the Bristol, R.I. production facility of New York Yacht Club American Magic, a U.S. Challenger for the 36th America’s Cup, the two organizations have declared plans to formally collaborate and strengthen the marine and composite fabrication industries in the United States. IYRS has been named a Sailing Community Partner of American Magic, and the team will work to continue providing the school’s graduates with professional opportunities of the sport.
