The other unfamous component which easily worsen, is the aluminum rub rail.
Famed Capt. PATRICK MC CRARY, founder and backbone of www.bertram31.com, together with his friend Capt. ALEX WHITAKER, designed a PVC guard rail, which was identical in terms of shape and size, to aluminum made original one.
Exorbitant quantities required by supplier of PVC extrusion to put it back in production, combined with huge shipping and custom costs from California, made almost impossible purchasing this component from USA.
Hopefully, thanks to our partnership with a Hellenic Shipyard, qualified in Classic Boats restoration, who made a new mold to extruding a brand new PVC guard rail, we’re able to provide the set made PVC combined with stainless steel profile.
We may supply straight or pre-shaped PVC bars, for bow contour easy coupling.
