The only surveyor to ever have earned certification in all eight ABYC boatbuilding disciplines is Executive Marine Services principal surveyor Dwight C. Escalera. In addition, Dwight is frequently hired by ABYC to teach these certification classes to boat builders, boatyard technicians and other marine surveyors. Dwight also serves on the ABYC Project Technical Committee for the creation and maintenance of the ABYC standards. Theses standards are often regarded as the “building codes” for safe boat construction. Most surveyors advertise only the ABYC Standards Certification.
