From Yachting.com:

The Bruckmann name is often associated with quality and thoughtful detail and the company, according to its Web site, works with some of the original craftsmen from former Ohio-based C&C Yachts that owner Mark Bruckmann’s father, Erich, helped to found. Among them is naval architect Mark Ellis, who was reportedly schooled in the classic traditions of recognized racing yacht and sloop designer Philip Rhodes and apprenticed by C. Raymond Hunt, credited with inventing the deep-V hull introduced with the Bertram 31.

The quality of Bruckmann motor yachts have been compared to the likes of well- known manufacturers such as Hinckley and Alden and Morris Yachts. And Bruckmann motor yachts themselves are often lauded for their Ellis’s own take on deep-V hulls, where wide and progressively wide chine flats, or joints, reportedly enable the vessels to plane at low speeds. As a result, the yachts can use as little as 3 or so gallons of fuel per hour, according to cape-yachtsnews.com.
