Chrysler Crew's Nest

Fall 1976

NOTE: Beginning with this issue, and for each issue to follow, Chrysler changed its format for the Chrysler Crew's Nest, making the publication more graphically intense. The result is that the files below tend to be a bit larger, and thereby, load more slowly. Please be patient while they load!

Chrysler Crew's Nest

Inaugural Issue 1978

In the second page, there is a letter from the Publisher of this issue which states: "The directory section of the North American Class Association has three misplacements of sail plans involving the Pirateer, the Mutineer, and the Buccaneer...the Pirateer section shows a Buccaneer diagram, the Mutineer section shows a Pirateer diagram, and the Buccaneer section shows a Mutineer diagram."

Knowing this, I made sure that the descriptions below matched the diagrams shown. Please let me know if you find any inconsistencies!
