I believed that on the origins of this Bertram there were no more doubts.
He should be this.
The first 38' Bertram for Preston Henn with which it won the Sport Championship in the 1975.

The Whittingtons had a very colorful history for sure. They raced boats, cars, planes and owned Road Atlanta for a while before taking a government sponsored vacation from their side business. They did very well in car racing and actually won LeMans in 1979.
I believe they are still active in aviation.

09-24-2009 08:31 AMWhen Sean put up the question, I had no idea of the entire story. Have done some searching, still don't know it all.
Maybe this winter or something a story thread can be started.....Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!

Does this boat interest you? It is available and ready for resto..
The owner has several Bertrams that need work, I looked at one of his 28s last year before I bought the Squadron, The 28 had never been rigged, it looked like it just came out of the mold!
