This week’s featured ACBS chapter is Southern New England.
Clicking on Southern New England Chapter will take you to more information about this chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society, show the events they have already posted for the coming year, and some news stories and pictures that have come from their chapter.
Can you imagine working on the Mayflower restoration? Or at least learning about the process. What a great opportunity this chapter is sponsoring this coming Saturday, April 1st. Southern New England Chapter is a medium sized chapter with many active members – and many who travel to events put on by other chapters. They keep a good history of the boats in their membership. Visit their chapter website, too.
Their mission statement reflects the spirit of the group:
