Today we review the recent Tall Ships® Rhode Island 2007 celebration with awesome footage sent in by Suki Finnerty of Broad Reach Productions ( http://www.BroadReachDV.com ). Take a look at the The Gorch Fock II, the Cisne Branco, the Dewaruci, and the Prince William. Next up: a look at the superlative confusion when defining luxury yachts. Mega Yacht, Superyacht, Giga Yacht: what the heck is the difference!? Finally: the South Florida marine industry is experiencing a shortage of qualified tradesmen, shipyard staff, and crew to fill positions aboard all these new big yachts coming off the line soon. We take a look at footage from the interactive DVD, "Navigate Your Career" available from WorkForce One & Marine Industries Association of South Florida ( http://www.MIASF.org ). Julie also recommends her book, "The Insiders' Guide to Becoming a Yacht Stewardess," for anyone considering crew jobs aboard mega and superyachts ( http://www.WorkOnAYacht.com ). The Boaters TV, hosted by Julie Perry, airs 4-6 minute episodes every M, W, and Fri at http://www.theboaters.tv .
