Preservation vs. Restoration Statement
ACBS has been working
for over a year to revise its judging criteria to be more supportive of
the basic ACBS mission that emphasizes the preservation of good
vintage boats, without discouraging the major restoration of
those many boats that have deteriorated to the point that little of
their original material can be well preserved if the boats are to be
safely used.
This year judging has
been further separated into two categories, "Best Preserved",
where at least 65% of the original wood is maintained, and "Best
Restored" where 35% or more has been replaced. This is
excluding bottom replacement, which is considered a safety item.
