The American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC), the nonprofit organization that develops safety standards for the design, construction, maintenance, and repair of boats, has registration open for its annual Standards Week, January 9-13, 2023, in New Orleans.

Standards Week is dedicated to daily Project Technical Committee (PTC) meetings to discuss updates to Supplement 63 for Standards and Technical Information Reports for Small Craft to be published July 2023. Events also include ABYC's annual meeting and cocktail reception on January 9, an ABYC regional training seminar on January 10, and an ABYC Standards Certification course on January 11.

"Standards Week brings a wide range of industry stakeholders together to review and improve boating safety standards," says Pete Chisholm, Mercury Marine product safety manager and Technical Board chair. "It has the added benefit of allowing an environment to build collaborative relationships across the industry."
