Boat of the Year

Beneteau Figaro 3 sailing in Narragansett Bay

Figaro Beneteau 3, 2019 Boat of the Year

Designed and purpose-built for solo sailing’s proving ground, the Figaro Beneteau 3 puts offshore sailing trickledown into the hands of aspiring soloists and double-handers everywhere.

Best One-Design: ClubSwan 50

The most aggressive-looking design yet from Nautor’s Swan has already established fleets in Europe and takes our prize for Best One-Design.

Best Crossover: J/121

Simply put, the J/121 is a bucket-list boat, designed to tackle adventure-style races where it’s more about the experience than winning.

Best Dinghy: UFO Foiler

The UFO is otherworldly, the judges agree, with the potential to disrupt the dinghy-sailing scene as an all-access low-cost foiler.

Best Multihull: HH 66

The HH66 sailed away from the competition, clocking high speeds and high comfort to take the title of Best Multihull and 2018 Boat of the Year.

Best Crossover: J/112E

The ultimate weeknight club racer is ready to go fresh out of the box and will deliver around the buoys, or on coastal cruises.

Best Dinghy: VX Evo

A fresh breath of life for singlehanded dinghies, the VX Evo impressed with its technical design.

Best One-Design: Waszp

The bulletproof first foiler for the masses, the Waszp could change the foiling market from the bottom up.
