Gentlemen,
We finally got her back!
Here is an open invitation to all The Faithful to join us on board Tennessee whenever you are coming through Sydney.
Make a note of my email,
nd@2088.com.au , or let me know through the sandbox.
Thank you all so much for your help in giving the first Bertram 31 in Australia a new lease on life.
Best regards,
Nic

Thanks Walter,
Capt. Pat's air-boxes complete the boat to perfection don't they....and we are getting full revs and no water...tested in decent seas too.
I'll post more pics soon

Bruce,
Thanks, I think because of the distance involved that relatives of The Faithful also qualify, pass on the invitation to her if you want and we'll take 'em (max 12 pax) for a run on the Harbour.
My number here is 0404 84 88 55 might be easier for them.
Regards
Nic

Hard to believe the age of boat, lines are fresh and sharp by todays standards.
Really nice job, you definetely have a head-turner there!

Thanks Randall...just quietly that's me on a kneeboard....remember George Greenough and his spoons?...He still spends half the year or so out here but he just hates crowds.
Thanks very much guys, we appreciate all your input and good wishes very much....and we just love that boat.
Regards,
Nic

nic...though i doubt he would remember it i spoke to george greenough a number of times in the early 70's when i lived in santa barbara and surfed rincon , the ranch, and the channel islands......george had a little whaler with a home made cabin to surf offshore......a very interesting and inovative guy....."innermost limits of pure fun"...or something like that.........BTW.....i also have no enclosure on my boat and think they look the best without one.......outstanding looking boat!!
