HMM’s biennial Classic Yacht Symposium is “like Woodstock for Classic Yacht enthusiasts.”
The 8th Annual Classic Yacht Symposium is scheduled for March 22-24, 2019. Over the course of three days, attendees will visit restoration shops to ogle projects in progress, debate the definition of “classic”, attend sessions with a variety of scholarly papers on a range of subjects presented by their authors, and bond with fellow classic yacht enthusiasts over adult refreshments.
CYS is unique in its special collaborative atmosphere because the event attracts a mix of owners, designers, builders and enthusiasts who gather biannually to celebrate the fine yachts of a bygone era and share their thoughts on the challenges of preserving, restoring, replicating, sailing and racing them.
Three Special Days of Classic Yachts including…
- Ten Great Papers by Experts/Owners
- Shop Visits: Active Projects
- Evening Panel Discussion
- Museum Campus Visit & Exhibits
- Evening Social Events
For 2019, CYS will be jointly produced by the Herreshoff Marine Museum and the Classic Yacht Owners Association.
