British Yachtsman voted in their thousands for the best boats, sailors and kit of the past year.
The British Yachting Awards is an annual celebration of all things sailing; from the finest bits of kit, to the most extraordinary feats of endurance or skill out on the water. The shortlists for each category were published in Sailing Today's November 2024 issue and nominations included some of the biggest brands and most famous names in sailing, as well as burgeoning marine companies, along with seasoned pro sailors, amateur yachtsmen and young tyros. What makes the awards so unique is that the winner in each category is decided exclusively by the public – no outside influences or ‘expert’ panels, it’s all down to you.
