1978 38 Bertram Competition
Bertram Model Resto Project

I purchased a model of my 38 Bertram on eBay. I was told it was one of two Needle Nose boats made in the late 70's. The thing as a little rougher than I thought it would be and I wanted it to look like my boat from years ago. I found a guy here in town than does some amazing work. Take a look at this guys attention to detail.

As to tell Natural Light, Preston Henn and Harrol Lanier in 1978 and Whittaker Moppie,Sammy James and Jack Stuteville in 1974 -75.
That the avatar instead is the 49er again of Henn in 1977 the former second Whittaker Moppie of James in 1976 and that it was in Kevlar and then it became the first Flap Jack that Quam it almost destroyed during the Benihana race in the 1978.
Three different boat. Just to clarify.

Here more story and pics about them and other 38'.

Your 100% Correct. However let me clarify. My boat was the Natural Light, when restored it was painted to look like the Whittiker/Moppie. My avatar was something I thought was cool, I knew it wasn't my boat but I just love the picture. I prefer the paint scheme of the Whittikar/Moppie for the model so that's what I went with.
