I work on boats for a living, I'm not ABYC. Never looked at em... Used to work on a Coast Guard certified passenger vessel that met all CG requirements and again, never looked at ABYC. I've commissioned new boats from the factory and shook my head at the stupid stuff I saw come out of there. Also, many european vessels are not ABYC. I know Swans don't use tinned wire, and they are wonderfully engineered boats.

Insurance companies don't care about ABYC either. I've never seen any reference in denied claims about "not ABYC compliant".

Coast Guard compliant is another matter entirely...
