Sail magazine this morning announced the winners of its Top Ten Boats for 2025. Editors sailed and reviewed nearly two dozen sailboats during 2024 to determine the winners.
“Sometimes, when we’re out testing boats, my fellow review team members and I will joke that it’s a tough job but somebody’s got to do it,” editor-in-chief Wendy Mitman Clarke said in a statement. “But the truth is, it’s never easy deciding which boats rise to the Top 10. We put a ton of time and thought into this process, always coming at it from the concept that we are sailors just like our readers. So we’re working to find the ways that builders are coming up with fresh ideas to make sailing better, no matter what kind of sailing that may be.”
The Top 10 Best Boats of 2025 are:
• Allures 59.1
• Hanse 360
• Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 350
• J/40
• Leopard 46
• Nautitech 48 Open
• Outremer 52
• Seawind 1370
• Windelo 54
• Xquisite Solar Sail 60
• Special Mention: Boréal 70
The Sail review team considers every model that debuts at a U.S. boat show during the calendar year. The January/February issue will include more about the Top Ten Boats of 2025.
