In ideal conditions on Chesapeake Bay, a taut fleet of 17 contestants vied for top honors in the 2023 edition of Cruising World’s annual Boat of the Year competition.
It was terrific to see a trio of boats in the mid-30-foot division, but also to discover that all three yachts in the class were exemplary sailboats.
This Euro-centric class had one important factor in common: The sailing performance across the quartet was top-notch.
This division truly lived up to its name, with a solid lineup of five nominees that lit up under sail.
The popularity of boats with more than one hull, especially catamarans, is more evident with each passing year.
As deliberations wrapped up Cruising World’s team of expert judges handed out two more prizes to boats that stood apart from the fleet.
This year’s team of judges put 17 sensational new models through their paces, under multiple points of sail and power, after dockside inspections in Annapolis, Maryland.
