Gert - couldn't understand a word until I drank 7 Heinekens, then it all made perfect sense.

Gert, are those Dragons? It looked like some of them have Gaff Rigs too. Pretty boats - and people call Bertrams wet! I bet you get drenched going to weather in one of those!

Hi Rocket,

those boats are called rainbow's thats why we paint them all coulours of the rainbow.

The design is from 1917 and they are still build new.

There are about 160 build , some of the old numbers are still on the water.

Regards Gert
