What the judges said: Our winner is a yacht which genuinely moves the game on. Its intelligent balcony mechanism and tender garage might be worthy of an award mechanism and tender garage might be worthy of an award on their own, but with its efficient and versatile wave-piercing hull design, the 35 Metri’s talents are more than skin deep
