Started in 1954 by the U. S. Coast Guard's advisory panel, the American Boating and Yacht Council (ABYC) sets the standards for all facets of marine workmanship. The purpose of the ABYC has been and continues to be to increase the safety standards and develop a higher standard of education for marine workers for all aspects of boat and yacht maintenance.

The first edition of "Safety Standards and Recommended Practices" was published in 1965 and consisted of 9 standards. Today, "Standards and Technical Information Reports for Small Craft" contains over 65 standards and is growing. In addition to writing standards, ABYC designed a comprehensive education program beginning in 1989.

The education programs include seminars, workshops, Marine Technician Certification program, and standards accreditation. ABYC will continue to research, develop, review and publish manufacturing and service standards for the boating industry. It is our aim to make recreational boating a safer sport in the next millennium!
