Hybrid drive, a glass coachroof and a full-beam owner’s stateroom in a 52-footer Robertson and Caine built for any cruising life.
Day one of the 2026 Boat of the Year trials was a Chesapeake mess. The Leopard 52 went anyway. It was the right call.
A triple-headsail rig, 9.75 knots under gennaker and a 17-day Atlantic crossing from the Canaries on a Slovenian bluewater cruiser.
A folding 26-foot beam, carbon laminate, a triple-headsail rig and a Danish builder whose entire mission statement is: we sell fun.
Fifteen nominees from six countries, four category winners, and one unanimous Best Overall winner from Denmark.
The First 30 is the smallest, least expensive boat in our 2026 Boat of the Year fleet—and one of the most fun to sail.
From storms to hybrid tech, the initial 2026 Boat of the Year trials revealed major shifts in cruising design and priorities.
