Under the direction of Sean Fawcett, President, the Landing School in Arundel, Maine is pleased to announce the addition of two new team members, Peter Worthington as a third Marine Systems Instructor, and Reis Hagerman as Admissions Manager, to the staff.

“We are very excited to have Pete and Reis joining The Landing School crew. As we continue to build our “boatyard model” instructional paradigm it is essential that we grow our team with seasoned industry experts such as Pete and Reis’s extensive career in post-secondary admissions management assures that new Landing School receive the highest quality attention. Welcome Pete and Reis!", noted Fawcett.

 
Peter Worthington
Marine Systems Instructor

Peter Worthington joins the Marine Systems faculty as an additional instructor to work alongside Zachary Volpicelli and Harrison Ringel. His role includes lecturing, leading discussions, conducting interactive demonstrations, and organizing lab exercises.

His previous work experience includes 14 years of teaching AP Physics to high schoolers, 4 years of engineering, and nearly 24 years of technical work experience in marine propulsion and systems trades.

"It’s really great to be back in the classroom and an excellent Marine Mechanic Shop. The staff here at TLS, both teachers and administration, are so amazing friendly, experienced and team orientated. The quality and spirit is clearly demonstrated in the student body that is diverse, eager to learn, and sprinkled with a few real “characters”. Characters make life interesting! I hope to bring some character and my own desire to learn, my passion for connecting with students through physical theory and shop work but most importantly connect with them as a teacher-mentor within a creative and highly instructive environment that’s focused on the diagnostic part of Marine Propulsion and Systems work."

Glomex TV

Televisions on a boat are increasingly commonplace. With the simple-to-install Glomex Avior VT300 Omnidirectional TV/FM antenna from GA Communications, it's never been easier to bring analog and digital broadcasts onboard—at a price that's hard to ignore.

The most noticeable feature of the Avior VT300 antenna is its compact white, anti-yellowing radome. At only 4" dia. x 8" H and 8.8 oz., it's specifically made for smaller boats that can't accommodate large TV antenna domes and only need short range reception, depending on height and conditions. The amplifier allows the antenna to have an increase in gain with a 24.5 dB average to receive vertical and horizontal polarized TV signals simultaneously from 360°.
