Jim Trumbull, Photographer/Creative Director

      Jim began his career in Southern California in the 1980’s as a freelance designer and art director for a variety of Southern California-based magazines, including Sea, Lakeland Boating, Rudder, Road & Track, and Cycle World, among others. Then, as art director and contributing photographer, Jim produced the first definitive book on the sport of boardsailing, The Sailboard Book for noted action sports author and photographer, Jake Grubb.

     After nearly 40 years of art and photo direction, Jim is gradually getting back behind the camera, applying his talents and substantial technical skill to impeccably-produced, fine art images. With sailing in the blood (at least 10 generations, but who's counting?) and a love for boating in general, nautical portraits for woody boater clients is a passion close to his heart. Examples of his woody boat work can be found throughout this website. For more of Jim's work, or to inquire about having your wooden runabout photographed, visit his website here.

Justin Riede, RIEDESIGNS, Portland, OR

     As his flickr feed states, Justin Riede is a sign painter, guilder, carver, and artist of distinction. That he is. Justin may be a man of few words, but it's only because his extraordinary typographic sensibilities, keen eye, and steady hand speak volumes about his talent. Justin has been a valued partner on many LO Boat projects and is responsible for the beautification of many a transom, storefront, brick wall... you name it, he's done it well. No doubt you've seen (and surely admired) Justin's incredible work.

Chris-Craft Antique Boat Club (CCABC)

     The mission of the Chris-Craft Antique Boat Club (CCABC) is to maintain the rich heritage of Chris-Craft through research, communication, and education; to encourage the use, preservation, and restoration of Chris-Craft boats; and to enhance the experience of owning a Chris-Craft.

We encourage owners and enthusiasts to become active and involved members. The CCABC is a not-for- profit organization whose governing body is elected by the membership. The Club is supported by membership dues, our Sponsorship Program, our advertisers, and through tax-deductible donations. Annual membership includes full access to our website resources and quarterly issues of The Brass Bell, our premium publication.
