Greetings fellow forum members, So this year is the 50th anniversary of the launching on my 55' Commander hull 028. Does anyone know if the information is available as to the exact month/day in 1974, that this boat was launched. I would like to host a re-christening party.
Thanks

If you get your hull card from Mariner's Museum, it will tell you the date your boat was born or at least shipped date!!

Thanks Charlene. That's good info. Will research.

Happy Anniversary to Centurion. My 36 TF "Tenacious" is a 1974 as well. I have copies of all of the documents from The Mariners' Museum and the "Cruiser Equipment Record" includes a Date Shipped of 08/27/74. That will be when we celebrate her 50th out on the water.
My boat has a plate on the lower helm that reads "THIS BOAT COMPLIES WITH U.S. COAST GUARD SAFETY STANDARDS IN EFFECT ON 12/1974". The date is stamped on. I love knowing that!
