Bertram 28 at Cortes Bank In Rough Water

This is taken on my 1981 Bertram 28 over 100 miles offshore while tuna fishing. As you can see this boat can hang. Waves that day were 10-12 foot. No problem for the "Ready to Assemble"

Well, a 46 handled by an average skipper is more dangerous than a 28 handled by a good skipper. Size only counts at they yacht club. Sure, the ride will be rough, but nothing inherently dangerous. I take a 17' montauk out on the back side of Santa Cruz and have to cross the SB channel to get home to Oxnard in 5-8 at 8 seconds. It is hairy, but not dangerous.

A 28 foot Boat of any type is asking for trouble @ C B. Conditions can get real ugly in a short order there. I have a 46' Hatteras and speak from experience.

I label the Owner / Skipper ........reckless.
