2002 Boat of the Year Award for the Voyage 440
In awarding the boat Overall honors, Cruising World magazine said:Of the structure, a judge said, Every multihull takes enough time getting through the wind that youve got torsional loads going through the skins, and, man, this one was a tight as a good guitar body. Of the sailplan, one judge said, They really had their bases covered for a variety of wind ranges in a very safe way. Of the deck layout, another judge said, Wherever you walked, you had a feeling that it was the most appropriate pathway to where you were going. Of the systems, a judge said, The electrical panel was absolutely 4.0, and the fuel tank forward was as fine an execution as I have ever seen. For these reasons and others, the judges called her the Best Cruising Multihull for 2002.
One judge said Shes the first multihull Ive seen that I really consider a prime yacht and a functional cruiser. Said another, Everything about this boat indicates that its seriously made for going to sea. Without any hesitation, you could hang the word passagemaker on it and your conscience would be at ease. Its the first time in the contests nine year history that the overall boat of the year award goes to a multihull. Congratulations to the folks at Voyage Yachts in Cape Town, South Africa
