Yeah, a nice boat and all that, but what puts it ahead of a Pascoe, Cougar, Big Scorp. etc, etc?

in the flesh they are very elegant! and seem to resemble a sportsboat more tha the other makes you mentioned. All of which are elegant and wonderful boats but they didn't win the award

I,ve often wondered
A. who are the judges (are they rib people)
B. On what grounds are the points given
I think that sometimes they just run out of newish boats to vote on
and as this is a good looking rib and you don't see hardly any on the water you have to take there word for it.
Example. How many of you would know if say a Ferrari F430 is the best sports car out there. As i for one havant driven one, i,ve got to take there word for it.

Of course a cynical person might suggest that the magazines might be influenced by the advertising revenue...

Not sure that the 'shed' of a console is particularly 'elegant'.
