The goal of the ABYC is to help member corporations and organizations make boating as safe as possible. The ABYC was created in 1954 as a non-profit organization to develop safety standards for the design, construction, equipage, repair, and maintenance of boats. Since then, the Council has become the essential source of technical information for the international marine industry. ABYC develops product safety standards, credentialing, education, training, and other tools. Go to https://www.abycinc.org to learn more.
