Its late but ill share a few images from the book that impress me. Also more than once in the book. All single sling. Yes they were new and solid and never wet. Just an observation.

Mine is in the mail!
My last one got lost when I picked up a Ventnor in Clayton but it’s in the mail!
I really enjoy this book. I love the picture with all the people visiting the Plant!
I’ll have to pick this book up. My father used to service the Chris-Craft plant in Algonac.
What book – Did I miss something that indicates this?
I just received a copy from Goodwill in Florida for $40. It has an old library sticker on the dust cover, but definitely would have paid more.
You can see with the upside down hull why the strength was at the chine.Frames above the waterline were notched into the chine and bolted through. Building upside down sped up production, and allowed CC to use lighter scantlings that relied on all those fasteners. This made the boat lighter, and faster. The switch from a plank inner layer to plywood lightened and stiffened the boat even more. This pic is a 60’s Constellation. It’s a great book.
