Restoration Society

Your gift makes a measurable difference

2010 Restoration Society Event Calendar

Membership in the Restoration Society has broad and meaningful impact. It ensures that we educate the next generation of craftsmen and leaders in the marine trades. It ensures that the public experiences our rich maritime history. Our mission is to teach, engage, and preserve—so future generations have the skills and the understanding of how our past shapes the present and the future.

Today, the Restoration Society accounts for nearly 25 percent of IYRS and the Museum of Yachting’s annual philanthropic support. Be part of an enduring educational legacy—and by being a member, enjoy the rewards and fellowship of the Restoration Society.
