Best Semi-Displacement Motor Yacht Over 40 Meters ~ Mirgab V
When tested by the largest yacht ever to carry the Burger name, the 144-foot Mirgab V, Burger Boat Company’s rapidly modernizing shipyard on Lake Michigan rose to the occasion. "The debut of Mirgab V at the Monaco Yacht Show is a historical moment for the company," said Burger owner David Ross. "It represents a quantum leap in terms of our capabilities and opens up a new frontier in the world market." Marilyn Mower wrote of Mirgab V, "Her fit and finish showcase the craft ethos of Burger’s Wisconsin workforce, which is largely of Dutch, German and Scandinavian ancestry and mostly second- and third-generation boatbuilders." The execution of the yacht’s interior is nothing short of spectacular with joinery and stonework on par with the finest in the world. Mirgab V’s sound engineering is another of Burger’s crowning achievements.
