2019 Northern New England Bertram Rendezvous

The 2019 Northern New England Bertram Rendezvous will be at Charlestown Marina, Friday July 19 - Sunday July 21. Call to make your reservation (617.242.2020) or use Dockwa; tell 'em you're with the Bertram group and they'll do their best to keep us close to each other.

2017 saw ~4 boats participate; last year in P-town we had something like 15 boats... hopefully we can do even better this year.

Come one, come all.

Correction: call to make a reservation (617.242.2020) rather than using Dockwa. They've offered a discounted rate ($2.50/ft under 50') and have an easier time applying that rate via phone.

Hi B31 Crew:

Some of you likely saw the note this week, but for those who didn't... Bring your Bertram to any 2019 Rendezvous and be entered into a drawing for one 3 day/4 night trip to the Tropic Star Lodge for 2 people. There are events in North Carolina, New England, Long Island, Annapolis, Long Beach, and the Pacific Northwest.

I'm helping to organize the New England event and am happy to share the itinerary (so far). There are a few more treats we're working to add, but I think it's safe to say the event is growing up with the help of several enthusiastic organizers (not me, I'm coming in at the 11th hour in hopes of stealing the spotlight!). Add in actual, real life sponsors, including Garmin and Seakeeper and, well... we can do more with more.

The event is scheduled for July 19-21 at Charlestown Marina. To book a slip use Dockwa or call the marina: 617.242.2020

Friday, July 19:
Friday Afternoon will be laid back with boats arriving from across New England. Charlestown Marina dock staff will be happy to grab a line as you arrive. Check in at the office and cruise the docks.

5p: Arrival Reception
Drinks on the dock with the signature Bertram Cocktail, the “Deep Vee”. See some of your old friends, meet some new ones and enjoy a cold drink.

Saturday, July 20:

8am: Free Tour of the USS Constitution for the Bertram group

4p: Group Photo & Drone Shot

5:30p: Raffle! Gather and hope your number is called.

6p-??: Potluck Dinner, Dockside

Sunday, July 21

Departure at your leisure, as long as your leisure is before 11a, since that's when the marina asks that transient dockers vacate their slip.

Looking good; continuing to grow. As of a few weeks ago we had 2x 42' sportfish, 1x 42' MY, 2x 33' sportfish, 1x 31 BM, and 1x 31 FBC. I expect (and hope) more to confirm now that it's starting to look and feel like summer but, as of May 30 this is where things stand.
