The ride? I'll tell ya' that in five footers, you don't go up there.

And I have rescued all four grand children from up there 'cause they couldn't get down. Of course the boat was tied to the dock.

With BigBlocks, I figure it takes more than a knot, maybe two, up wind with an apparent wind at forty knots. Docking the boat in a tight slip with a twenty knot blow takes some practice. The wind grabs the tower and turns the boat. But that's any boat.

Everybody here looked at a Bertram and then bought it. Nobody ever looked back!
