For all the McTavish livers ou there Ive been reading Bob's book given the spare time I have got at the moment. It got me thinking,, what is the one McTavish model that just says "McTavish"

The Original?
Blue Bird?
Tracker?

My "blank" McTavish is inscribed with "Occasional Pin - fully hand shaped"...

You'll see a few McTavish boards floating around with no "model" reference...

I have a 7'10 Step-Up style board, but it is badged as "Rincon 68". It's model that never made it to a full release. The Rincon '68 is based on the templates that Bob was doing at Rincon CA in '68, but generally modernised.

Beautiful Trackers usually get the "Tracker" badge.

A shame the resident McT is not around to answer your question That Rincon board looks lovely Simondo - a few pressure dings - no doubt its had a few big sessions out at those points of yours.
