I am the chair of the SNAME (www.sname.org) small craft T&R Committee.

One thing we are working on is better outreach to members of the small craft community that SNAME does not traditionally serve well, such as small craft (vice ship) production.

I would be happy to discuss this further and to see any remarks as to the needs of small production craft manufacturers that SNAME might help.
