Many supporters have helped us toward this goal. Evening Instructors & Seminar Leaders Bruce Brown Lindsey Philpott These three initiatives are outcomes from program growth, community input, Robert Dalrymple Karen Prioleau and long-term planning. It has all been possible by the support of students, Armando Eason Mark Templin donors, staff, OCC, the Coast Community College District, and the County John Jourdane of Orange. Ron Mealey As promising as our future is, these new physical additions will not guarantee Marine Maintenance continued success. That depends on us, our entire team of faculty, staff and Jack Arnold Jeremy Sandahl administrators. It’s up to all of us to use these resources well, and deliver Robert Dalrymple Mark Templin exceptional learning experiences on the water and in the classroom.

This Spring and Fall, Nordic Star will be used by OCC students who are interested in careers in the maritime industry. The 92- foot aluminum vessel is an ideal “platform” for gaining hands-on experience desired by maritime industry employers. On board subjects include deck operations, fi re-fi ghting, man overboard recovery and abandon ship procedures. Command/bridge topics include bridge management, piloting, navigation, Radar, navigation plotters, radios, and GPS. Engine room subjects include engine monitoring and control, fuel and water management, engine room safety, electrical distribution, pumps, motors, and bilge systems.

On weekends and evenings, Nordic Star is available to individuals and groups for private charter. A US Coast Guard inspected vessel, Nordic Star can carry up to 50 guests in the harbor and in local offshore waters. She is an ideal yacht for meetings and celebrations while cruising Newport Harbor or down the coast to Laguna. With her luxurious cabins, she is exceptional for overnight cruises to Catalina Island or beyond. Charterers have great fl exibility to design their own voyages, choosing dates, locations, level of service, and activities. Nordic Star’s crew normally includes a captain, 1st mate, steward or stewardess, and a cook. Quite often, students from OCC’s professional mariner program are integrated into the crew.

Donated to the OCC Foundation in 2010 by the Jerrell Barto family of Newport Beach, Nordic Star’s maintenance and operation is supported solely by charter income, in-kind gifts, and grants. For the past fi ve years, most of Nordic Star’s capital improvements have been provided by the Harriet E. Pfl eger Foundation.
