LAKE FOREST, Ill., Feb. 22, 2007 - In support of the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC), the Brunswick Foundation has granted a donation of $10,000 to the ABYC Foundation to fund the Spanish translation of the ABYC Standards and Technical Information Reports for Small Craft manual. The ABYC and the ABYC Foundation, which have long sought to create a Spanish edition of its 65 safety standards for the design, construction and repair of small craft and their systems, will work with an organization in Mexico to translate the manual.

"Through the Brunswick Foundation's generous donation, ABYC will now be able to offer our members a product that they have been asking for," said Skip Burdon, ABYC President. "The marine industry is a leader in fostering a diverse workforce to include an ever-increasing number of Spanish-speaking employees in not only the manufacturing sector, but other sectors of our industry, such as service and repair. Therefore, this product will be of great benefit to our industry's workforce, and further demonstrate ABYC and the ABYC Foundation's commitment to creating a safe boating experience through the clear understanding and use of standards."

The translated ABYC standards manual will be available in 2008.
