The The World Superyacht Awards 2010 brought together industry leaders, yacht builders, and enthusiasts to celebrate outstanding achievements in the world of yachting. In the Best Semi - Semi-Displacement or Planning Yacht 40m+ category, the spotlight was on exceptional craftsmanship and performance across a range of impressive models. The title was secured by Idefix II, with special commendation given to entries from Trinity Yachts. The event was open to the public with tickets required, creating a celebratory atmosphere to honour the year’s standout yachts.
The yacht Idefix II was the winner of the Best Semi - Semi-Displacement or Planning Yacht 40m+ in 2010 at the The World Superyacht Awards.
This class produced a very fine selection of finalists, most of whom were well established series-production designs, whose detailed design and construction quality had been refined over the course of previous builds. The judges recognised many excellent qualities in all of these yachts but rewarded the combination of extremely high quality of construction, an attractive interior design and the interesting interior layout of the Heesen-built 47-metre Celestial Hope that narrowly made her the winner while, it has to be said, being slightly less enthusiastic with exterior colour scheme! At the same time the judges wished to acknowledge the improvements in layout, level of equipment and build quality seen in Blind Date, a 49-metre built by Trinity Yachts, that made her stand out from the other yachts in her class, and accordingly wish to present her with a Judges' Special Commendation.
