Paper Tiger

A unique cruiser fully restored but needing internal fitting out.

Paper Tiger is a 1963 Bertram 25, she was a successful entrant in the COWES-TORQUAY Powerboat race in the early to mid 60’s and was raced by Charles de Selincourt.

She has been totally restored by current owner and Bertram specialist Ian Saunders to the highest specification. Originally powered by a Mercruiser she now has an economical Yanmar Diesel and like all Bertram’s is an excellent seaboat.
