Sail magazine has announced its Top 10 Best Boats for 2024.
“This year’s Sail Top 10 Best Boats represents a wide range of sailing styles and desires, from traditional, heavy-displacement bluewater monohulls to high-performance, carbon-ated cruising multihulls; from tweaky, techy racer/cruisers to designs that are deliberately calibrated for simpler sailing,” the review team said in a statement. “These boats also represent the industry’s continuing efforts to innovate and deliver something new and forward-reaching, whether that’s a design that successfully rethinks traditional spaces and accommodations or a propulsion system that harnesses the newest tech to strive toward fossil-free cruising and sailing.”
The team reviewed nearly two dozen nominees, and also called out two smaller boats — the Astus 20.5 and MiniCat Guppy — in a “special mentions” category.
“Most people still start in small boats and trickle up to bigger and bigger boats over the course of their sailing careers,” they said in the statement.
The Sail Top 10 Best Boats for 2024 are:
• Beneteau Oceanis 37.1
