Jimmy G--Poet, Artist, Purveyor of Fine Bertram Memories

Post by Josh Johnson »

I hope I'm not being presumptuous in posting this video for Jimmy G, but it's one that should be shared with all lovers of classic Bertrams and things nautical and beautiful in general.

I was re-enjoying the wonderful Challenge Cup 2009 video (How Far Is Heaven?) that Jimmy G made and shared, and decided to look a little deeper--and this is what I found. A thing of beauty, and some of the most gorgeous real-life shots of the Bertram 31 I've ever seen. And the glowing young girl at the flybridge helm truly almost made me burst into tears--so beautiful, so innocent, so full of life. The man must have a heart of gold to have created such a lovely montage of images and memories.

I'm guessing he wouldn't blow his own horn here, so I'm taking the liberty of helping a little bit. Forgive me.

Having just purchased my B31 and my son not yet being 2 years old I only hope to create that same montage someday.

Well done.
