The symposium will bring together Classic Yacht Owners, Restorers, Boat Builders, Technicians, and Aficionados.

The Herreshoff Marine Museum and the New England Section of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers invite interested parties to present a paper and, or slide presentation of a subject relative to excellence in classic yacht restoration or replication.

Note that, since the invitation is extended to “interested parties”, I would assume that membership in SNAME or with the Museum is NOT required to present a paper. Note, however, the imminent due date for abstracts this August!

(I was not quite sure under which forum to post this; but for multiple posts being discouraged, I might have put it under Boat Design and/or Boat Building as well. Hopefully, all interested parties will get the word! )
