How did Chris Craft make their name.?
Building quality boats. In fact, originally (before there was “Marine Grade Wood”) Timber and Lumber companies rated their “top grade mahogony” as “Chris Craft Grade”.
I build my own boats… have for over 40 years… mainly because I know I can build them better then I can buy them. That is for the exception of two – both of my “store bought” vessels were Chris Craft, and both of them are still in use today.
The below link has a great video with the history of Chris Craft… Very interesting!
Happy and Safe Boating!

Chris was a boy with the delicate look of a girl.Every year was a challenge to raise Chris in a broken home where there was no money. What followed was a move to Canada, a stepfather, and drug scenes. After involvement with the law, Chris was sent back to the states and his father. Shortly thereafter, and out in the world on his own, Chris was always seeking, trying to find the right woman to love, to fill the hole left by his mother. Chris becomes an unbeatable pool player, winning large amounts of money. You will live through the tension of challenging pool games, and to the depths of drug use and entering drug rehabilitation. But, you will laugh at the antics of children, and remembered feelings you had in growing up. You will cry with Chris and those around him who are affected by the actions and re-actions taken throughout this book. So, does Chris go to great heights, or strike out? |

Chris Verene $51.98 For the past thirteen years, young American artist Chris Verene has carefully documented the strange and yet oddly familiar world of his family and friends. Verene’s lush color images reveal freakishly beautiful stories of simple daily joys and troubling family secrets. Curators, critics, and museums from Atlanta to New York and Europe are exhibiting and discussing his moving portrayal of family, love, youth, and aging. The geography of Chris Verene’s color photography is primarily social, though the landscape is always a presence. Whether he is following his relatives around the dilapidated environs of Galesburg, Illinois, or locked in a suburban bedroom with five members of his "Camera Club" photographing a half-dressed woman draped over a bed, Chris Verene innerves us with a vision of daily life at once bizarre and banal. His high-key colors and composition occupy a terrain somewhere between William Eggleston and Nan Goldin. This is the artist’s first book. |

Chris Marker $22.48 Having spearheaded the bourgeoning Nouvelle Vague scene in the late 1950s and developed a distinctive style involving still images, Chris Marker (born Christian Franois Bouche-Villeneuve) stands among the most influential filmmakers of the postwar era, yet remains enigmatic. His notorious reclusiveness has led to surprisingly few studies, and Nora M. Alter’s Chris Marker presents the first English-language study of the director. Marker’s 1953 debut "filmic essay," The Statues Also Die (with Alain Resnais) exposed the European art market’s complicity in the former Belgian Congo atrocities, and provided a bold model for other politically committed filmmakers. Thus began Marker’s long struggle against global injustice, a trajectory that included his involvement with Night and Fog, La Jetee, Le Joli Mai, Far from Vietnam, Le fond du l’air est Rouge, and Prime Time in the Camps. Alter’s careful study includes interviews with the director and investigates the core themes and motivations behind an often unpredictable and transnational career that defies easy classification. |

Chris Ofili $61.98 Chris Ofili’s intricately constructed works, combining beadlike dots of paint, collaged images from popular media, and elephant dung, create a unique iconography that marries African artistic and ritual practices with Western art historical traditions and contemporary hip-hop culture. This beautifully designed book, made in close collaboration with the artist, is the first to examine Ofili’s artistic development and surveys his work in watercolor, graphite drawing, and sculpture. Literary and historical parallels from a formidable list of contributors explore the ways through which the artist has grasped his times with a palpable sense of history. |

It’s written for the mother and father who tried everything in the world to no avail, for the wife who’s been beaten, or whose family has been wrecked due to her husband’s anger.

Chris Ware $26.98 As one of today’s most renowned cartoonists, Chris Ware is widely considered an artist of genius. Combining innovative comic book art, hand lettering, and graphic design, Ware’s uniquely appealing work is characterized by ceaseless experimentation with narrative and graphic forms. The publication of his novel "Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth "in" "2000 inspired a near avalanche of praise from critics and general readers alike. This book is the first to explore the life and work of Chris Ware. Daniel Raeburn looks closely at Ware’s career, work methods, and artistic innovations. Born in Omaha in 1967, Ware introduced the character Jimmy Corrigan in a full-page strip he began writing for the Chicago tabloid "New City. "Combining six years’ worth of the strips, Ware created the best-selling novel named after Jimmy that spans an Irish-American family’s life in Chicago from the Civil War to the present. For its experiments in graphic form–including pull-out, three-dimensional inserts–and its non-chronological narrative, the novel earned numerous honors, among them the Guardian First Book Award, presented for the first time to a comic book. For this volume Raeburn interviewed Chris Ware for many hours to make fascinating connections between Jimmy Corrigan’s fictional life and the life of his creator. Raeburn discusses the scope of Ware’s career, including his drawings for "New City, "the "New Yorker, "and his own comic book, "The Acme Novelty Library," As" "Raeburn shows, Ware’s unique art form extends beyond the world of graphic novels into the broader worlds of literature, graphic art, and popular culture, and challenges traditional definitions of all three. |

Chris Burden $59.98 This comprehensive overview, the first to appear in almost a decade, examines an artistic career, that now must be viewed as one of the most fascinating in the history of Contemporary art. From his highly controversial and seminal performance works of the early 1970s, to his complex, imaginative installations and monumental sculptures, the art of Chris Burden uniquely informs as well as incorporates the major artistic undercurrents of the last three decades. Not only has the artist made a major contribution to the history of body-related performance art, but the artist’s fascination with systems of power, societal organization, architectural structure and technological systems, have resulted in an extraordinary body of sculptural objects and environmental installations over the last 35 years. In compiling this publication the artist has worked closely with curator and long time associate Fred Hoffman, taking this opportunity to re-examine his work afresh and revealing images that are unpublished or rarely seen. |

Chris Martin $19.98 Chris Martin’s paintings are investigations in color, form and texture, ranging from bold and graphic to gestural and expressionistic. He is deeply engaged with the history of abstraction, and many of his own paintings incorporate homages to artistic influences. Reviewing the works collected in this concise exhibition catalogue, "The New York Times"’ Roberta Smith wrote, "It makes sense that Mr. Martin had his first solo show in 1988. Although he rightfully counts the painters Alfred Jensen and Forrest Bess among his inspirations, his style might be called 80s mongrel; a melange of outtakes from Julian Schnabel, Keith Haring, Elizabeth Murray and Sigmar Polke. But he takes possession of all this by infusing it with his own sense of funky materiality, quasi-psychedelic color and hallucinatory light. Mainly he knows how to make a surface come to life with a fuss so minimal that it seems like showing off." |

Chris Hoy $3.48 The first Briton to win three Olympic golds at the same Games, Scotland’s Chris Hoy is a genuine sports superhero. His autobiography charts the life of a seven-year-old BMX fanatic, supported by a devoted dad and his local cycling club, through paralyzing self-doubt and a major career overhaul, to the sport’s holy grail. This 32-year-old cycling fanatic from Musselburgh in the suburbs of Edinburgh defied the doubters who thought he would struggle when his specialist discipline, the 1km time trial, was dropped from the Olympics, and went on to reinvent himself as a track cycling sprinter and triple Olympic gold medalist in Beijing. His return to these shores sparked unprecedented celebrations and real admiration that here was a role model who was the epitome of all things that are good in sport. What makes a champion in sport? In his autobiography, Hoy returns to his roots as a child fully engaged with the BMX craze of the 1980s; when, even as a spotty seven-year-old his will to succeed allied to an unyielding mental strength set him apart from other youngsters of his age. A promising rower and rugby player in school, it was when he joined his first local cycling club and spent most weekends of the year competing in national events from Blackpool to Bristol that the seeds of his future career were sown. |
