Horsham, PA June 2005 - Jim Grundy, President of Grundy Worldwide, is the proud owner of a 1964 Riva Super Aquarama, a vintage mahogany speed boat originally owned by Hollywood actress Brigitte Bardot. Grundy's Riva named "Kitten", debuted at the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance on June 4th & 5th. The Aquarama is definitely the most beautiful engine-powered object one could ever see cruising so its no surprise that this graceful mahogany classic won the "Award of Excellence - Concours d'Marine" at the 2005 Greenwich Concours d'Elegance held in Greenwich, CT. Amazingly, the "Bardot Riva" is completely original right down to its varnish. Through an amazing series of Events, "Kitten" spent most of her entire pampered life in climate controlled warehouses. The tachometers which include Hobbs meters show a mere 48 hours from new!

Jim Grundy has been an avid racing sailor all his life. Over the last few years Jim has gotten away from racing boats in favor of wooden "classics". He also owns a Herreshoff Designed Classic Sailboat which he cruises the New England coast with his family.

With this interest in classic boats, you would expect that the family who originated classic car insurance will also market specialty insurance for classic boats! Currently Grundy does insure classic boats through their "Special Client Services" division which tailors Complete Personal Insurance Programs for high net worth individuals.

Riva of Italy - which traces its beginnings to mid-19th century was a world leader in producing elegant, luxury wooden runabouts. In 1962, Carlo Riva introduced the Aquarama series with a powerful bi-motor. This series had so much charm and elegance that she is compared with Rolls-Royce and Ferrari. With the Aquarama, Riva managed to create more than a symbol or spokesman: it created a legend which has traveled the globe. Extraordinary style, elegance and craftsmanship made the Super Aquarama and all of the Riva boats a work of art which still to this day remain decidedly unforgettable.
