    1963 Bertram Caribbean 38' SF - "Off the Cuff".
    Also once owned by Ted Kennedy (SEN-D), she now resides at Falmouth Harbor where we see her in bristol condition. Many improvements and fine restorative work done onboard. A collector's item and a real sportsfisher to boot - a multifaceted "gem" to be sure.
    Cheers!

    Just an update to let everyone know "Off The Cuff" continues to reign mightily in Falmouth Harbor, MA.
    Here she is on the hard last month - is it me, or did they put a bit more "V" in the hull back then (1965)?

    Fuel was cheap, lots of power, lots of V. Notice the mini lifting strakes also act like shock absorbers.

    You think she has original power or something new and exotic?

    Is that a 38? I remember an owner having bought one of these said only 9 where made, and interestingly 2 of them are in Malta.
