Sailing World Magazine announced the best in boatbuilding for 2010 with its 26th annual Boat of the Year Awards.

An independent panel of experts inspected and tested the 14
nominated boats during the U.S. Sailboat Show in Annapolis earlier this
year. Decisions were based on extensive inspections and sea trials of
the boats. Taking home the honor for the 'Best Crossover' was the
Beneteau First 40.
