Members receive the Club’s premier publication, The Brass Bell, quarterly in the mail and also online. The award-winning publication has become the flagship periodical for all antique and classic boat admirers. Professionally designed and printed on high-quality paper, The Brass Bell is filled with stories, photographs, and historical documentation targeted specifically to the classic boat enthusiast.
CCABC Boat Buzz is our popular online discussion forum where the participants hail from every corner of the globe. The forum is an important research tool containing many years of input from our members. There are ongoing discussions in numerous categories, and a wealth of archived information can be located using the easy to use search function.
The Club’s online archive is a convenient way to view sales brochures and documents that the Club has acquired over the years. It contains: photos and specifications of nearly every model ever built by Chris-Craft; operator booklets and repair manuals for engine, transmissions and other mechanical systems; and The Brass Bell issues dating back into the nineteen eighties. Archive materials are grouped into categories which may be searched by keywords and dates.
The Hull Registry is an important online resource developed by the Chris-Craft Antique Boat Club to catalog all antique and classic boats, regardless of age or make. The Hull Registry can be browsed by make, model, year, length, or boat name. It cross references to the Member Directory, giving a thorough overview of the boats and their owners.
The Member Directory is a searchable database of all the current Club members. You may look for members by name, state/province, or country and locate members living near you.
