Events at the International Yacht Restoration School and the Museum of Yachting are a great way to get involved in both institutions and the world of classic boats, meet interesting people with similar interests, support IYRS students, and celebrate the traditions of maritime history and craftsmanship. Come to IYRS Restoration Hall for a Tuesday night lecture, attend our elegant Annual Summer Gala, participate in the Museum's Classic Yacht Regatta, volunteer at the Museum or the school, or even take a Continuing Education course. Read on for a calendar of upcoming events at IYRS and MoY.
