Following the extremely popular
customized "Styled in Fiberglass" shirts for owners of
the early Commander (see below), the Chris Craft
Commander Club is announcing the availability of
T-shirts specially designed for owners of 3-digit
Commanders. Most of the boats were built in the late 70s
and early 80s.
A brand new issue of the Club's
13-page newsletter Styled in Fiberglass is out
now. To download your copy now just click the
image above.
We also added a new feature, the
possibility to download a high resolution version for
those of you who want to make a high quality printout.
And this feature is also available for the winter 2007
issue!
"Styled in Fiberglass" Shirts
The Chris Craft Commander Club is
happy to announce a brand new line of shirts featuring
the famous "Styled in Fiberglass" nameplate on the front
and a bold message on the back (click image to zoom in).
The shirts come in 15 different versions, customized for
all Commanders made in the years when the plate was used
by Chris Craft. A must have for all Captains this
summer!
Calendar
Photo Story
This year's version of the Club's Wall
Calendar is more popular than ever and people
ask for more stories on the boats portrayed.
The May calendar photo portrays
Lucky Irishman, a "woody" Commander which makes it
slightly out of scope in this club. Because it is so
beautiful and carries the Commander name we thought
is well worth including in our calendar.
It is a 1953 40’ “Commander” Express 1 of 7 built.
Powered by none other than twin Chris Craft FWC 427’
30 knots without breaking a sweat! The boat is owned
by Mikel G. Kennedy and photographed by Paul A.
Mathias.
Paul also shot the the February
calendar photo of the 55’ Commander owned by his
parents Paul H & Joan Mathias (below). The 55'
Commander photo was shot using Lucy Irishman as the
photo platform. Now that's some platform!
The
stories behind other calendar photos will follow.
Stay tuned!
The 410
Commander
The 410 Commander is the
Commander with the longest production run of all,
based on the number of years in production, 15 years
from 1971 -1986. It is also one of the Commanders
which carries a three digit model number as opposed
to all two digit Commanders built in the sixties and
early seventies. Other three digit Commanders
include the 310, 392 and 420.
I started to put together a
specification page for the 410 Commander. If you
have information about this model or a photo
please let me know so I can update as necessary.
Commander Website at Your Service
This website design was
created by none less than your faithful Commander
Club Webmaster. How appropriate that I own a
31´Commander named Web Commander! Little did I
realize that I would one day be webmaster of the
Club when I bought the boat on the net in 1998, but
that's another story.
Please let me know what you think
of the site. Suggestions are highly appreciated!
