The Legend of Bertram
   |
LEGENDARY BOAT-BUILDER BERTRAM YACHT
This lavishly illustrated coffee-table book commemorates the 40th anniversary of Bertram Yacht Inc., the legendary Miami-based boat manufacturer. Founded in 1960 by Dick Bertram, a champion boat racer and world-class sailor, Bertram Yacht is the world’s leading manufacturer of 39’ to 60’ luxury sportfishing boats.
The authors unfold Bertram’s colorful story from its inaugural voyage -- a stunning victory in the storm-swept Miami-Nassau powerboat race -- to the company’s glory days in the 1970s and 1980s, through the turmoil that rocked the marine industry in the early 1990s, then to the modem rebirth of a boating icon.
The book also highlights 40 years of classic Bertram models, beginning with the renowned “Moppie” 31’ whose deep-V hull gave birth to a new era in powerboating; the best-selling 28’ Flybridge Cruiser; the remarkably successful Bertram 54’; the Bertram 60’ Convertible, and culminating in the cutting-edge 510 Convertible that debuted to rave reviews at the 1999 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. Prized by royalty and celebrity alike, trademark Bertrams are often spotted cruising along the Atlantic coast, idling in sunny Mediterranean port cities, hosting elegant tea parties in Hong Kong Harbor, and fishing for blue marlin off Hawaii.
Rodengen is indisputably one of the nation’s expert voices on the history of the nautical industry. His previous books on Chris-Craft, OMC, and Mercury Marine are prized for their exhaustive detail and colorful photography. The Legend of Bertram adds a new dimension to this accomplished body of work.
The Legend of Bertram debuting at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is available only through Bertram Yachts Inc., at (305) 633-8011 for $39.95.
