The premier issue of PropTalk hit newsstands in July 2005, and a very special boat named Sawdust graced that inaugural cover. She is a Thomas Point 43, built by Mast and Mallet in Edgewater, MD. Captain Rick Franke reached out to the builder, Joe Reid, and you can read more about his take on the legacy of Sawdust in the July issue.

Bertram Yachts grew out of the legendary 1960 Miami-Nassau powerboat race. Moppie, a 30-foot wooden prototype with a deep-vee hull, designed by C. Raymond Hunt for Richard Bertram, won the race and even set a new course record. After the race, a mold was cast from Moppie, leading to the first fiberglass Bertram 31.

Whether visiting by boat or car, there are miles of shoreline, historical sights, and seafood galore to satisfy any Bay lover.
