Three Daysailors Put to the Test for Best Pocket Cruiser 2022

The 2022 Boat of the Year contest was remarkable in a number of ways, including the size of the fleet of new sailboats introduced. With 27 boats to compare, entries were broken down into eight separate categories. The competition was close and each entry came with interesting and innovative features worth further discussion.

So with that in mind, the editors, who inspected and sailed the boats alongside the judges, are kicking off the New Year with a deeper dive into each category. This week’s focus is on Best Pocket Cruiser/Daysailer.
