As is described elsewhere, the judging of this event is undertaken by a 15-strong jury that is overwhelmingly comprised of yachts owners.

We have always believed that it is the end-user that should decide the winners of our awards, as it is they who are in the best position to recognise the strengths and weaknesses of each of the competitors, a premise that has provided a foundation from which the success of these awards has been built.

It is a trait of human nature that as the prestige of these awards increases, so does the desire to win, and while the winners are ecstatic in their achievement, others who have toiled equally hard to create a masterpiece may feel a sense of heightened disappointment at their lack of success.

It is for this reason that the judges would like to offer consolation to those who were disappointed and stress that the real prize is that of being selected as a finalist.

All of the finalists were chosen because their quality was such that any one of them would be considered a worthy victor - the margin between the winner and the others in that class was often just the breadth of a hair.”
