"IYRS is a unique collection of boat owners, restorers, students, craftspeople, and enthusiasts who like education and preservation, but it is also the kind of institution where my giving makes a real difference and has impact." - Donor, since 2003

Membership is an easy and economical way to support the education and careers of apprentice shipwrights and technicians. It also comes with benefits that allow you to participate in a wide range of school and museum activities. Get involved by making a tax deductable membership gift that includes the following member benefits:

• Restoration Quarterly, the school’s premier publication
• Free admission to museum programs and living exhibits
• Free admission to both the fall and spring lecture series
• Invitations to on-water events, social gatherings, and school and museum activities

A membership donation is a minimum of $100 per year, but you may give in any amount above $100. Your membership gift is tax deductable. Membership donations of $300 or more include receipt of an IYRS|MoY cap and lapel pin.

Membership donations of $1000 can be automatically applied to membership in Restoration Society, our five year giving program that has additional benefits of a hand-crafted half model and invitations to private events on yachts, in museums, and at major donor homes and businesses.
