In an article posted on the Boating website states, "I'm drawing a line in the sand. Fine pink sand. On a beach in Bermuda." David Seidman, then editor of Boating magazine December 1996 - When David Seidman uttered the words above, the sport of boating was at an all-time high, and quality demands from customers were making boat and engine builders step up to meet them.
November 1999 - on July 17th, a small boat entered St. George's Harbour in Bermuda, adding an emphatic period to the slash of an exclamation point that was made three years before. In 1996 a Glacier Bay 260 Canyon Runner with twin Honda 90s was the first outboard to make the 700-plus mile run to Bermuda - doing it in 37 hours. Now a second boat, a World Class 266SF powered by twin Mercury OptiMax 150s, had also done it - cutting the running time by seven and a half hours.
November 2002 - There have been six attempts to set a new record for Boating Magazine's Bermuda Challenge - a 760-mile dash to a tiny speck in the Atlantic Ocean barely 16 miles long and 4 miles wide. So far, only three boats have completed the journey, and they've all been outboard-powered catamarans.
