From The Editor

Election for the multihull of the year, here we go!

For many years, readers and builders have been asking us to create an award for the Multihull of the Year.  The arguments in favor of the creation of this award by our team are numerous: we know all the boats built around the world, and we have sailed on almost the entire production since... the 80s, for the oldest in our editorial team! 

In short, we know multihulls!

But are we the most qualified to decide which boat is the best?  And besides, the best compared to what?  Wouldn’t it be better for those who use them on a daily basis to give us their opinion? 

That's why we decided to hold an election with you, magazine readers and catamaran and trimaran users, deciding which boat you prefer from a selection of new boats launched this year.  A reward in keeping with the times because it’s your participation that makes it! 

A free and objective election, with no member of the editorial team or jury having any input to influence you in deciding on your favorite boat.

So, it's up to you and your keyboards (www.MultihulloftheYear.com). Results of the election to be announced on Sunday April 23rd at the International Multihull Show…
