Hatteras Yachts and their old hull molds...

If I remember, the Aussie boats are called Riviera and just as solid as the old ones.

There is suppose to be a builder in Miami who has some Bertram molds and stretched them to build his own. Anyone familiar with this guy?

I think Riviera used the origional molds for a short while, but not in a long time. They have been used and are currently made over there by a company......I can't remember the name but...I think It's Carribbean yachts. They even had and made a classic '31 I believe. A guy here was importing them and marketed them under another name.....up until about 5 years ago............which I will remember at a later point

Does anyone know one of the old school Bertram guys we can ask? This getting to be an Hullcule Poirot mystery.

I was in Antigua Wednesday- Friday on an un-expected trip down there. A friend of mine needed a starter right away and I flew down there with it for him. I'll dig the pictures up and scan them sometime this week for you for sure.
