A five-day European Boat of the Year test in Spain covered 16 of 17 entered boats — one, the CBN, could not leave the harbor due to strong wind.0:01 Thomas Nilsson reports top speeds of 20.5 knots on the JPK, 15 knots on the Safier, and 18–19 knots on the Lille Voy.0:43 The 17-boat field included four aluminum hulls (two catamarans, two monohulls), four boats with electric motors — among them the Dufour Yachts 41, a Repard 46, and two catamarans — and a broad range of cruising and performance types.1:30 Standouts named include the Kraken (described as exceptionally solid and traditional in style), the Van 5 (an extremely minimalist catamaran), the Tortue 147 (maximalist and unconventional), the Nimble Boats VOYAGER 26 (built in wood, praised as a jewel to sail), and the Solaris-built 62-footer, the largest entry, which Nilsson spent hours aboard but could not sail.1:45 The Excess 14 and Avance Yachts 245 are also referenced. Winners will be announced in Düsseldorf in January, following jury deliberations.3:40
