WINNER

Balance 526

Clockwise from above: Here comes the sleek and powerful

Balance 526, the biggest winner of the 2017 BOTY contest.

The Balance drew strict competition from the Xquisite X5;

one sailing blogger likened its looks to a running shoe. The

St. Francis 50 MK II is a complete cruising multihull from

South African legend Duncan Lethbridge. The Majestic 530

was developed from a range of smaller cruising cats.
