SELECTION OF THE 2024 WINNERS
      
At the European Yacht of the Year Award we feel that the first big win is to make the nomination. So here you have the 21
 most interesting new sailboats of this model year according to the 12 strong jury. Other than in previous years we haven’t grouped them into categories because there are more and more crossover concepts that make it hard to characterize a boat without having experienced it on the water. So this time we first do the sailing and then we assign boats to their respective class.

The contestants for the European Yacht of the Year Award 2024 are:

 ● Arcona 50  ● Bavaria C46  ● Bestevaer 36  ● Cape Cod 767  ● Contest  ● Dufour 41  ● Flaar 24  ● Hanse 410  ● HH44 Catamaran     ● Elan Impression 43  ● Jeanneau Yachts 55  ● Maxus 35  ● Neel 52  ● Oceanis 37.1  ● Outremer 37.1  ● Pointer 30  ● RM 1380           ● Saffier SE 24 LITE  ● Shogun 43  ● Sun Fast 30 OD  ● XC 47 

 

To be among the finalists is already a great achievement. But of course we don’t stop here. Next up are the seatrials which are mandatory for all the finalists. They take place in La Rochelle mid September and in Port Ginesta near Barcelona mid October. After that the jury members do thorough debriefings, dive deep down into the specs and the data from the tests, they spend hour after hour debating before the verdict is reached in January.

The final announcement of this year’s winners will take place during the Flagship-Night on the first evening of boot Düsseldorf (20.-28.01.2024).
