Bertram 35
Matilda Bay Marine, in Perth, has been
appointed the new Australian agent for
US-based Bertram Yachts – a legendary
brand that has built and inspired many
of Australia’s top-performing game fishing
boats over many decades.
Bertram recently launched a considerably
updated version of its classic 35-foot
flybridge gameboat, which has already
received acclaim from the American boating
and game fishing community.
Excitement is also building for the imminent
launch of the new Bertram 61, due to splash
in mid-2018. It will come standard with
some of the best equipment on the market
today, and Bertram say it will represent one
of the best vessels in its class anywhere in
the world. Next year will see the launch of
a new Bertram 50, a true bluewater game
fishing machine available in both a fully
enclosed hard-top version and an open
version with optional hard-top.
Matilda Bay Marine’s Chas Milner and Sam
Coote will be showcasing their Matilda Bay
32 at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat
Show in May, and will be on hand to discuss
the new Bertram range.Raymarine Quantum 2
CHIRP radar
Designed to integrate with their Axiom multifunction displays, Raymarine’s new
Quantum 2 doppler-enhanced radar imagery gives you enhanced situational
awareness and provides safer navigation by identifying moving and static
targets at both long and short ranges.
Using advanced doppler processing, Quantum 2 is tuned specifically to detect
the radar echo frequency shift returned by moving versus stationary targets.
Quantum 2 then colour codes moving targets to indicate whether they are
getting closer (red) or moving away (green). In addition, Quantum 2 brings
a new Safety Sector feature that highlights and colour codes any potentially
dangerous static targets within 200 metres in front of your vessel, making it
easier for you to recognise immediate hazards.
Quantum 2 also features CHIRP Pulse Compression technology to display
targets like boats, marine marks, landmarks, rocks and weather cells with
unsurpassed resolution and separation quality.
Advanced users and professional captains will appreciate Quantum 2’s 25-target
mini-automatic radar plotting aid (MARPA). Developed originally for the United
States Coast Guard and other fast-response craft, Quantum 2’s MARPA feature
is doppler-assisted, enabling it to automatically acquire inbound contacts, thus
reducing the workload when navigating congested waterways.
At only 5.6kg, Quantum 2 weighs up to 50 percent less than
traditional magnetron radars. Its flexible design allows for
Wi-Fi networking to Raymarine multifunction displays (MFDs)
or via traditional wired configuration, making installation
much easier and eliminating the need for additional radar
cabling or interface boxes.
Priced from $2895, Quantum 2 is available worldwide
through Raymarine’s network of authorised dealers and
retailers.92 facebook.com/BlueWatermagazine
