Sailing World magazine announced today the winners of the biggest annual honors in sailboat building, the Boat of the Year awards.
The X-41 One-Design took the award for Best Crossover, a boat that bestrides the gulf between racer and cruiser with aplomb.
"X-Yachts has paid a lot of attention to both the broad-brush concept and also to details with the 41," said Andrews. "It has a combination of hull shape, keel, rudder, and rig that sails as a race boat should, is relatively easy to keep in the groove and wins races."
An independent panel of experts picked the winners from the 17 nominated boats announced during the U.S. Sailboat Show in Annapolis, Maryland, in October.
More than sixty X-41s are now sold worldwide, and the first X-41 International Event will be held in Copenhagen from 16 to 19 July 2008 during the 11th X-Yachts Gold Cup. More than thirty X-41s are expected to participate in the three days of racing.
