Growing up as a child my parents owned the same model. When I was in Afghanistan serving this boat came up and I bought it. I shipped it up from Kansas City MO. I am looking to connect with other Chris Craft DCFB or DCEB owners.
The Register of Wooden Boats lists information about wooden boats 10′ LOA (length overall) and above. It came into being after, and because, the annual Lloyd’s Register of American Yachts and the subsequent short-lived North American Yacht Register ceased publication. To submit your boat for inclusion in the Register of Wooden Boats, follow the instructions on this page. All submissions are subject to editing and approval.
To refine your search, add quote marks. If you search Free Spirit, you will get all the listings which include free or spirit. To refine, search “Free Spirit” and you’ll see just Free Spirit results.

Aquilo is a beautiful classic sloop that was built in 1960. She has been well maintained by all of her owners and is now owned by Dragonfly Sail Transport Co. in Northport, Michigan. She is currently being utilized to deliver local products to outlying harbor towns.
