The United States Coast Guard (USCG) and American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) successfully launched a new series of one-day events dedicated to mitigating the risk in designing and building recreational boats.

Over 400 participants registered for USCG Risk Mitigation Series 1: Regulations and Electrification, held virtually Tuesday, Nov. 9, 2021. Series 2 is scheduled for May 2022, with a topic to be determined.

"Because this was a virtual event, we were able to bring in panelists from around the world and around the industry," said John Adey, president of ABYC. "All of these experts volunteered their time and the event was free, thanks to the Coast Guard's nonprofit grant program. This is intended to be a series, and we look forward to covering a new topic later this spring."
