Bertram 35: Sneak Peek Photos

A behind-the-scenes look at the new 35 Bertram

Earlier this year I was invited to join the Bertram team at their VIP event at the Lyman-Morse Boatbuilding facility in Thomaston, Maine, to take a first look at the construction of the highly anticipated Bertram 35. As the 31 is one of my all-time favorite boats, I eagerly awaited seeing the 35 for the first time. The long day of travel to Maine was well worth it and I am counting down the days until the construction of the 35 is completed so we can put her through the paces offshore.
