Sailing Academy at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia on the east coast, and Mission Bay Aquatic Center on the west coast.<\/p>\n<p>MBAC Assistant Director, Kevin Waldick, shared, &#8220;It&#8217;s great to support the development of future US Navy officers and share in the long-held tradition that naval officers learn to sail.&#8221;\u00a0 He noted that the involvement in the contract has enabled MBAC to upgrade some of its sailing fleet, including replacing MBAC&#8217;s fleet of Hobie 16s later this summer.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter
