Voted for by Classic Boat readers and the wider public, the awards celebrate the best new builds, restorations and people in the industry.

Spirit Yachts managing director Nigel Stuart commented, “Since her launch at last year’s Southampton Boat Show, we have received lots of positive interest in the 50CR. This is a yacht that ticks a lot of boxes: cruising and racing, beauty and practicality. At 50ft, she is easy to handle but large enough to go cruising with friends or family.”
