 The
latest edition of the Commander Club's much
apreciated 16-page color newletter "Styled in
Fiberglass" is now available for free download.
As usual Styled in Fiberglass is packed with
facts and entertaining reading. Fellow member Lee
Dahlen tells you all about working with 12V
electricity onboard and fellow member Mike Schage

bottom. Also featured is the second part of an
extensive interview with Chris Craft designer Fred
Hudson, conducted by our resigning PR-chair Whitney
Pilsbury. This edition is also Whitney's final SIF
masterpiece, at least for some time.
Rendezvous Registration Open
 All
details for the Rendezvous has no been set and
registration is open.
With so many local Commanders and
members in the area, this rendez-vous is sure to be
one of the best yet. We look forward to seeing new
faces and old friends at the event.
New SuperDisks Now Available!
The very popular SuperDisk covering all aspects
of Commander ownership, maintenance and repair is
now available in all new updated versions. The disks
are based on advise coming from over 40 000 posts
made by Commander enthusiast from year 2000 through
2011.
A novelty for this year is that that the content
is no more supplied on CD, but on roomier DVDs , or
if you wish, on a USB-Flash drive.
And don't forget; if you already own a old
SuperDisk you can buy an inexpensive update to get
all the new advice from 2011 and the years
inbetween.
Marketplace for Used Parts
The
Executive Committee is proud to reintroduce a
marketplace for selling and buying used parts and
accessories for Chris Craft Commanders and other
general boating equipment that could be of interest
to Commander owners. The new marketplace is
available at our Yahoo Discussion Forum.
Here are some of the highlights:
-
The marketplace is open to all members.
It is
free of charge.
-
You post your ad yourself and you can update it
any time you like.
-
You can also post an ad for things you want to
buy or even give away.
So why do you check your garage for parts you no
longer need and post an ad to get some cash.
Ads for boats for sale remains at
here
commanderclub.com like it has always been. To post a
boat for sale ad send you ad transcript and photos
to
admin@commanderclub.com
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!
