1966, 57 Chris Craft Constellation
~MY Satisfied~
Remarkable examples of America’s finest craftsmanship and woodworking are being lost every day. These neglected and underappreciated works of art are stripped from our history, cut up, and forgotten. While not all can be saved, we must work tirelessly to preserve the ones that remain viable.
Here is an example of one of Chris-Craft’s largest wooden yachts—the 57-foot Chris-Craft Constellation. Built from Philippine mahogany, hand-crafted by American artisans, it stands as a testament to an era of unparalleled boatbuilding excellence.
Only a few of these majestic vessels remain. Once owned by legends, these boats were the pinnacle of American luxury and craftsmanship. Icons like Dean Martin, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and Katharine Hepburn all sailed the seas aboard classic wooden Chris-Crafts, a symbol of prestige and timeless elegance.
Let’s work to preserve these extraordinary pieces of history before they disappear forever.
