Hagerty has been a sponsor of the ACBS since 2000 when our two organizations discovered that they shared common goals and visions for the antique and classic boat industry. Since 2005, this partnership has included a valuable ACBS member benefit -- a 10 percent discount on Hagerty's Agreed Value, full coverage for wooden boat owners.*
Founded in 1975 on the shores of Lake George, N.Y., ACBS has grown into the largest society in the world dedicated to the preservation and enjoyment of historic, antique and classic boats. ACBS brings collectors with the common interest together to share fellowship, information, experiences and ideas. The Society has more than 8,000 members spread out through 57 regional chapters in North America.
"We feel it is important to have a partnership with an organization like ACBS,” notes McKeel Hagerty, CEO of Hagerty Marine Insurance Agency. “The organization’s membership consists of people who strive to protect the heritage and enjoyment of boating by promoting the safety, preservation and restoration of these classic vessels. We share these goals and are pleased to support ACBS members with programs such as our discount program.”
