Starting 2024 with celebration
As you are reading this edition of Boating Industry Canada News Week Digest, I am again attending the ABYC Standards Week, this year in Annapolis, Maryland where the ABYC is headquartered. This year Standards Week includes a celebration for the ABYC’s 70th Anniversary. We will be reporting more on that in News Week Digest next week.
Last year the event was held in New Orleans, Louisiana and at that event, I was honoured to be presented the ABYC Horizon Award by Dometic Marine America’s President, Eric Fetchko. It was a very special moment for me, but Standards Week is a really interesting event attended by many senior marine industry engineers and designers. They meet at Standards Week to actually “set the standards” for engineering, performance and safety, for the boats and related products we all sell and service. Training and education are also key parts of the ABYC range of services.
