Sailing World<\/em> is calling for entries for its 2025 Boat of the Year Awards program. If you\u2019re launching a new sailboat model into the North American market, we invite you to join the industry\u2019s most respected testing and awards program.<\/p>

Sailing World<\/em>\u2019s Boat of the Year team will be testing boats throughout the year and will announce its Boat of the Year winners at the US Sailboat Show in Annapolis in October. There is a modest participation fee to help offset the rising costs of executing BOTY to its customary high standards. The tiered fee is based on boat size. Details can be found on the entry form included with this letter.<\/p>

Also, every BOTY nominee will be featured across Sailing World\u2019s editorial offerings leading up to the announcement of the winners. We will also make available to all BOTY participants a selection of web-resolution photography and video clips from the sea trials for promotional use of Boat of the Year participation. In addition, all participants will continue to receive promotional banners to identify their boat(s) as BOTY nominees.<\/p>

To submit your Boat of the Year entry: Please download the entry and liability form below, and complete them thoroughly. Once complete, return them as PDF files by email to BOTY@firecrown.com<\/a>.<\/p>
