The European Powerboat Awards ceremony highlights the best powerboats launched throughout 2019 and often presented at the Autumn boat shows. The winners are revealed on the opening night of Boot Düsseldorf, the world's largest boat show, which takes place in Germany from January 18 to 26, 2020.
In the category of powerboats under 14 m, the judges have introduced new selection criteria: seaworthiness and autonomy. Boats in this category must be able to sail long distances, both offshore and inshore. Here are the other criteria retained:
- Behavior in navigation
- Security
- Autonomy
From Antonio D 42 (12,60 m)
The D42 offers the best in sailing with an incredible hydraulic swim platform that can be adjusted to sea level. Its splendid walk-around deck plan offers large sunbathing areas, a convertible saloon in 3 configurations and a beautiful outdoor kitchen.
With its large interior space, smart solutions such as a central garage for a small tender and an outboard engine hidden under the sundeck, the D42 is a family cruiser with sporty characteristics and a sharp design.
Greenline Neo HT (12.60 m)
The Neo is an important evolution in the development of Greenline Yachts and responds to the desire of the shipyard to promote environmentally friendly boating, thanks to eDrive technology. For speed lovers, the Neo can be fitted with outboard motors, a novelty for the Slovenian manufacturer.
Marex 360 CC (11,49 m)
The Marex 360 Cabriolet Cruiser is an open cabin cruiser with one of the largest convertible cockpits in its class. No boat under 40 feet has such a large cockpit. The features that made the previous model, the 350 Cabriolet Cruiser, so successful are still there. The helm station is well positioned and has an ergonomic dashboard with clear instrumentation, all for a comfortable ride. Finally, the triple co-pilot seat allows the whole family to enjoy the navigation.
Pardo 38 (11,90 m)
After the success of the Pardo 43 and 50, Pardo Yachts presents the Pardo 38 . This model completes the walk-around range of the manufacturer Cantiere del Pardo. The deck plan guarantees safety, ease of movement and relaxation. The T-Top is made of carbon fiber and protects the cockpit, while an electric bimini covers the saloon/sunbath.
The relaxation areas are located both at the front, with a large and comfortable sunbathing area for three people, and at the back, with two sofas and an electric table that can accommodate six people.
Windy SR 44 Blackhawk (14.03 m)
The Windy SR44 Blackhawk the Windy has the same main characteristics as its big brother: performance, sea keeping, quality of manufacture and autonomy. As always, Windy uses materials and products from renowned international manufacturers such as Volvo Penta or Sunbrella. A wide variety of options are offered to personalize your boat.
With the experience gained from the launch of the SR52 Blackbird, the SR44 Blackhawk offers another level of luxury, either as a tender, chaseboat or sport boat for family or friend sailing.
