Question 1948 Deck General

The correct answer is C) American Boat and Yacht Council. The American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) is the organization responsible for publishing the equipment standards that are widely used in the recreational boating industry, including those required for US Coast Guard Captain's License examinations. The ABYC develops and maintains technical standards and recommended practices for the construction, repair, and maintenance of recreational boats. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the organization responsible for publishing the ABYC equipment standards. The "American Boat and Yacht Convention" and "American Boat and Yacht Club" do not exist, and the "Association of Boat and Yacht Classifiers" is a different organization that does not publish the ABYC standards.
