The annual awards, presented by an independent panel of judges, go to the best new cruise yachts and multihulls that meet the highest standards of coastal and ocean sailing.
This year the panel of judges includes a system expert Ed Sherman from American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC); Tim Murphy, veteran yachting cruiser and writer; as well as a double circumnavigator Alva Simon, an award-winning author from New Zealand.
