That is great. I love the hull color. What type of Gray is it? Never saw grey on one before.

Brewster Minton · Post by **Brewster Minton** » Mar 15th, '11, 21:04

Gert with all the free time you have left over you could come to the USA and finish all our boats the same way!

I'm old school so I think the classic look with the front windows is still the best look for the 31, she looks drop-dead gorgeous.

you got to be careful people like you and me get laught at when they try to explain to the infidel boat owners the art of matching the angle of the slope in front of bridge to the ant. and mast light . anything to enhance the beauty of a 31 bertram is legal in my book. are we a bunch of snobs,perhaps anal . i don`t explain myself to bottle boat people they just don`t get it !!!!

Gert,

You've done a fabulous job and she is stunning; congratulations! I am also impressed with the speed in which you completed the project.

CWJ,

I was in a fog on the matter of hailing port as well until the guys here straightened me out. Just as many of our Yankee friends have homes up north and down in Florida, and they can pick a hailing port between the two; Gert has homes in the Netherlands and in Long Island, so he had a choice. He posted earlier that Island Girl would probably return to Long Island at some point in the future.
