25 RIVA/BERTRAM

[Craig Mac]

I received the Michael Rybovich newsletter and noted they working on a 25 Riva/Bertram---never saw one in the States.

Is it this one?

That's the model----interesting that all were inboards ----never saw one in the USA.
They had some interesting changes from the US version. I think their stainless-steel window frames
were a great improvement.

I don't think they were sold in the US. I thought strictly Australia.

[Craig Mac]

I think only Europe----I don't think they were sold in Australia.

Tony,

The few Bertram variations that were built outside the US Bertram facilities, were all Riva-Bertrams (like this 25) in Italy, perhaps also a variant of the 35 (?) that Carlo Riva used himself, and the 28 Caribbean built in Australia.
I'm not aware of any others....perhaps also an Australian 42?

But what do I know, this is clearly Tommy's domain LOL.

Yannis,

Riva's Bertram was a 38 Express; by the way he was used to keep the boat In the Aegean Sea

[Yannis]

Yes, Francesco, something wasn't quite right when I wrote 35...it was a 38.
I remember having read that article.

By Aegean you probably mean one of the marinas in Attica, I cant think of any island port during that time secure enough for winter conditions, let alone the non existent facilities. Now things are better.

Francesco

Yes you are right. I confused them. That is what happens when you reach a certain age.

Interesting

Unfortunately, I can't read it, but the pictures are interesting. A Bertram hull with a Riva topside.
