While series yachts are not a new concept, our editors have
decided to rethink the way we judge them for our awards. Do we recognize new
additions to a series on an annual basis? If we are looking at the Westport 164,
do we look at every new one? Do we look at both Deniki and the second
Limited Editions Amels 171, YN 453, or just at one? The same goes for the new
Marco Polo Explorer series from MCC and built at Cheoy Lee. This new concept,
designed by Ron Holland, promises to have others follow. We do not look at every
Benetti Classic, but when they went from the 115 to the 120, we did take
notice.
Whatever the results, it’s an interesting time in yachtbuilding. We’ll see
what happens when we sit down to choose this year’s winners.
