IEACBS History & Awards

Every year since 2001, we have celebrated the best restorations, newly-rebuilt boats, people and more, in the wonderful world of classic vessels and the people who float them. Our first award in 2004 was for our newsletter Scuttlebutt. Enjoy the history of various IEACBS Awards, Our Sponsor Awards, and some of our Members Boat Awards.
