Van Dam Cultural Fundamental #21: Share Information

Today, Van Dam Custom Boats and Boyne Boat Yard welcomed students from the Marine Trades Institute into our shops for a closer look at the work, people, and processes behind our 16-Acre campus.

The knowledge that our craftspeople and technicians have acquired over the years is meant to be passed along. Every detail, every question, and every conversation is part of keeping the marine trades moving forward.

Sharing what we know helps strengthen the next generation, and it reminds us that learning never really stops.
