The American Boat & Yacht Council, ABYC, was created in 1954 as a non-profit organization. The council was started to develop safety standards for the design, construction, equipage, repair and maintenance of boats.
The mission of ABYC is to improve boating safety and reduce the number of injuries and fatalities. Membership is recommended and rewarded.
If you have always dreamed of being a captain of a ship, then you might consider getting your captain's license at the Annapolis School of Seamanship. Located on a quiet street in the Eastport section of Annapolis, you will find a cozy, colonial-style building to greet you with a white picket fence and on-site parking. Visit the website to learn more about the school's offerings.
