Well now that is almost time for the launch, I am getting the winter photos up.

The cast iron keel will need sanding and painting again. A yearly event.

The new canvas cover should work a lot better than the tarps.

Fourth of July Trip

We purchased this Chris Craft Cherokee 32 from Torresen Marine on Wednesday, March 24, 2004.

Fandango, the boat formerly known as Radiance, is 32 feet long by 9 feet wide. She has a draft of 5 foot 1 inch.

We all three took the ASA classes 101/103 and passed with flying colors back in July of 2003. Class was on a 32' C&C. We then chartered a 27' C&C in Grand Traverse Bay in August 2003. The charter company is Bay Breeze Yacht Charters. We think we are ready to get some more practice on our own.

Info about this and other "Good Old Boats" is available from their website. Good Old Boat Magazine.

Layout info from the original Chris Craft brochure.

The Mariner's Museum has a Chris Craft Division. I sent in our hull number and found out we have a 1967 Cherokee, hull number 10 of the series. One of only 40 made.
