About Boat of the Year
Cruising World’s annual Boat of the Year competition is the recognized leader in inspecting, testing and rewarding the best sailboats introduced into the US market by boatbuilders the world over. Judging and testing for this year’s awards took place during and after the Annapolis Sailboat Show in Maryland, in October 2023.
