Annapolis, MD Rendezvous
Hello Folks,
I am new to the site, not much of an online guy, but wanted to give this a go. I am a long time 31 owner and big time Bertram fan. I have been talking with the folks at Bertram and wanted to try and organize an Annapolis, MD rendezvous. It is still in the preliminary stages, but would be a cool spot. We've got about 10 local boats that I know of. We were thinking about doing it just before the boatshow so that Bertram could involve the new 35 and the 60. Is there anybody out there that would be interested? We do not have a location yet as were still trying to gauge interest so bear with me for major details as they continue to unroll. Thanks in advance to everyone.

Re: Annapolis, MD Rendezvous
Roddy,
Good to see your post; the Bertram events I've attended have been a blast, whether the NC events or the Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show events. Check out the posts and pictures on the California Rendezvous that was held recently; those guys knocked it out of the park on their inaugural event! We've got a lot of Chesapeake Bay guys on the Board, so they should chime in. Being that it's getting toward the end of the season, the traffic on the Board is a little lighter than usual. Let me know if I can help you out in any way. Tommy

Re: Annapolis, MD Rendezvous
Thanks everybody for your responses. Looking forward to getting this thing going. Ill be in contact with the folks at Bertram after the FLIB show.
Tommy, Saw everything on the California one, looked awesome. Close with the Guys at Worton Creek and know they have atleast 10 they care for in the area so numbers look potentially very good for the 31s. Soon as i get a firm date from those guys we can really get some details narrowed down. Ill be in contact. Thanks again to you and all the other members who showed interest

Re: Annapolis, MD Rendezvous
A trip for crabs, Bertram's and seeing sandbox members doesn't sound like a bad idea.
If it's an open weekend for us I'd be interested.

Any update on an Annapolis meeting. Don't want to leave Worton Creek too early if its gonna happen
Re: Annapolis, MD Rendezvous
Hey Folks,
So we're still planning to make this happen, looks like we will have little more flexibility on dates. Bertram may not have a boat to bring which opens up the summer dates instead of boat show time. Hoping to nail down an official date in the next week, will keep everyone posted. We've got a few sponsors and a lot of interest from fellow bertram owners so far. A few sponsors to mention,
1. Sea Keeper
2. Garmin
3. Bertram
4. Siren Marine
I will get back with you guys next week when we lock down an exact date, I want to give as much notice to folks as possible. Thanks again for your patience and interest in the event.

Re: Annapolis, MD Rendezvous
Sounds good. Glad to pitch in and help the effort. We could possibly host in Bay Ridge, though your marina might be better for creature comforts for those traveling from afar.

Re: Annapolis, MD Rendezvous
Hey guys,
We understand there is a conflict of dates, and unfortunately we figured that guys from that far north wouldn't travel this far south. So i apologize in advance for this and what may have been a wrong assumption. Annapolis is a little funny at that time of year, lots of sailing and other activities that occupy a lot of folks schedules and this is the date that initially worked. Obviously we will miss everybody that can't make it, but with Bertram's support and anybody that can attend we can make this a yearly event! I know we have quite a few Bertram folks in the Chesapeake Bay area and would be amazing to get everyone out.
And For everybody trying to attend, here is the official sign in form from Bertram so we can track numbers. Really cool spot hoping people can make it! Remember Bertram is giving away a (2) person fishing trip for all those folks that attend a Bertram Sponsored Rendezvous.

Re: Annapolis, MD Rendezvous
I made my reservation a while back and just reached out to the Cambridge Hyatt to confirm the group arrival. I was told they have no group by that name listed for 6-7-8 September. Probably someone should check in with them to ensure there is no problem.

Re: Annapolis, MD Rendezvous
Just spoke to the folks at the marina at the Chesapeake Hyatt and booked my slip. They know we are coming. Two nights, 30 amp, and resort fees come to $174 for a 31. She mentioned that her manager is “considering” reducing the fees for us so it may end up being less. Interesting because in the early years of the Ches Hyatt they were literally begging us to come back after our first stay! Nice resort. Should be a great weekend. Looking forward to meeting some new folks with a mutual Bertram problem (or as my family says “obsession”). Sixteen years and I am still not cured.

Happy to hear you will be attending. I came up from Smith Point area yesterday, shook a lot of screws loose and lost a cover on the windlass. Will Martin was here to meet me. He is completing restoration of his 31. Your friend and nice guy John Dunker came in from Baltimore after me in his 35. We stayed in our boats. Hopefully the effects of Dorian will be over for tomorrow's activities.
Looking forward to seeing you and others.

Re: Annapolis, MD Rendezvous
Big shout out to Roddy of "Hers" and Rob of "Lulu" for the B31 Rendezvous at the Hyatt in Cambridge. It was a really well organized event at a great facility for a rendezvous. I think there were close to 30 Bertrams, including a couple of 20s, a 28, close to 10 31s, a 5 or so 35s, a 39, and another (53?) that seemed just huge to me. Rendezvous are always the best boat shows. It was great meeting up with some old friends, meeting new ones, and seeing some of the faithful in person that I've only talked with on the phone before. John Hazzard braved Dorian's TS visit to the Bay to get there on Friday (I waited until Saturday). Great swag too. Hopefully its an annual event, and the Hyatt is just great. If Roddy and Rob do it again next year, don't miss it. Again, thanks.

And please do it again next year. My better half came down by car to visit, and said that next year she'd be in for the weekend. She's already planning on a Hyatt weekend this winter as an easy getaway, and she wants to get there on the B31 Crows Nest again this fall.

Re: Annapolis, MD Rendezvous
Originally planned to take a ride out to Greenport but after that was a blown out, took up John F’s invitation and drove down to the the Chesapeake gathering. Thank you to John F and JHaszard for allowing me to spend a little time with you and giving me the tour of their boats. Met Roddy and a few other folks as well and many beautiful Bertrams of all sizes. You can really see the personal flair incorporated into their boats. Didn’t expect to see that many boats their but what a surprise! Took some pics that I’ll post later including the mass exit at the end.
We stayed offsite in St Michael’s but the whole area is gorgeous with rich history. My wife and I glad we made the last minute decision to drive down on Saturday.

Echoing John F’s and Mark’s comments. Good venue, good people, and of course the best boats ever built!
Thanks again Roddy and Rob for their quarterbacking efforts - like hoarding cats at times. I am still amazed that we were able to get into somewhat of a formation in the river for the helicopter shot!

If anyone wants to see them, I can post them too. If anyone wants a copy of a phot, just PM or email me with your email. Hard to get the all the boats into one shot there were so many!

Re: Annapolis, MD Rendezvous
Hey All!
Sorry for not posting sooner. For all those folks interested in next year, we are already thinking about options and dates to see what can work. I think we could have alot of boats for next year, Dorian ruined the weekend for some folks attempting to get here. Prior to Dorian we were expecting 36 boats. But we hear the echos and will definitely not pick the same date as the Greenport Rendezvous. I Will also be posting all the pictures I've gotten from everyone on here, so keep an eye out for that.
Talk soon,

Re: Annapolis, MD Rendezvous
Hey Everybody, here is my email blast about this years event. 24 boats already made reservations.
Good Afternoon,
First, I’d like to thank everyone for your interest in participating in a Bertram Rendezvous this year. It has been a very interesting 2020/2021 to say the least, and I for one am very much looking forward to checking out some boats and seeing old friends. We have had an overwhelming amount of requests to host this year’s event in St Michaels MD – and have decided it was best to listen to you guys. We have been working closely with Higgins Yacht Yard to try and squeeze as many people in as possible.
We do have a few important logistical items to discuss before we get onto the good stuff. September is still high season in St Michaels, and as a result, we had to bend over backwards to persuade Higgins to host us. Higgins has requested that we commit to a two night minimum in order to not lose out on potential business due to the high season.Their entire season is based on transient dockage, that is the reason behind the two night minimum. We understand not everyone will want to do a 2 night stay, but please don’t lose interest yet! We are hoping that they may let a few one night stays slip in if the majority of our group will be staying for the full 2 nights. To clarify; that is Higgin’s decision not ours. Depending on numbers, we may also be able to arrange some overflow dockage at a nearby location to help ensure everyone can be involved. Please contact them sooner than later to make your arrangements(Their office hours are Monday-Friday 8:30am-4:00pm)).
Now to some more details, Higgins Yacht Yard will take reservations anytime. Please just mention that you are involved in the Rendezvous and they can get you squared away. It looks like we will be able to have around 30-35 boats depending on the size ranges. They have an onsite restroom with showers. This will be first come first serve so please don't wait to reserve your spot, they can only guarantee that many slips at this time. I will be planning to arrive Friday after work and depart Sunday mid-morning. If you have any questions please reach out to me so we can work them out.
Here is a link to St Michaels if you want to do some research. For those of you who haven’t been, this place is fantastic! There is so much to do, amazing restaurant selection, ample lodging, and of course, the town is home to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum.
For those of you not staying aboard, Higgins also Runs the Log Canoe Inn which is adjacent to the marina. Another Place to stay is The Old Brick Inn which is in close proximity to the marina (quick sidenote: they have probably the best breakfast in town). The beauty about St Mikes is that everything is within walking distance, downtown is literally a 5 minute walk from the marina. Check the Link for St Michaels for other Inn/Hotel Options, there are quite a few.
I will be sending out another email with some more details about the weekend as we get closer, I just wanted to give people the chance to make their reservation and block out some time on the calendar. We’ve got a couple cool ideas for this year and as always, thanks for your involvement! I cannot wait to see everybody come September. Again if you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out.
Kindest regards,
Roddy Jabin
