The 2014 Miami Boat Show got underway, during the event saw a Bermuda Challenge Awards Presentation take place.
Boating Magazine's Editor in Chief Kevin Falvey presents awards to the first two-time Bermuda Challenge winners, Chris Fertig and Tyson Garvin.
Fertig and Garvin crossed the finish line in the Town Cut Channel at 12.39am, clocking a time of 15:48.00 breaking the Bermuda Challenge record.
Traveling in their Skater 399 powered by twin Cummins diesels and Arneson Surface Drives, the pair encountered their first issue around 70 miles into the journey, stopping the boat to fix a propeller, with approximately 100 miles to go, they stopped the boat again, but got underway again a few minutes later.
In 2012, Chris Fertig and Tyson Garvin became Bermuda Challenge champions on August 5th when they recorded a time of 21 hours, 9 minutes.
They held the record for less than two months, when a team led by Fabio Buzzi smashed the record, Buzzi ran the 684 miles from New York City to Bermuda in 17 hours and 6 minutes on September 28th, 2012.
