GSTAAD YACHT CLUB CENTENARIAN OF THE YEAR • Our Centenarian of the Year category, run in partnership with the Gstaad Yacht Club, is open for public vote. An international panel of judges has chosen the shortlist you see below – now we invite you to vote for the winner. The judges started with a long list of centenarians in many different countries, ranging from yachts to workboats, and whittled it down to these six, based on authenticity and recent achievements of significance, or on a wider story that deserves praise. The winning boat’s name will be engraved onto the Centenarian of the Year trophy (pictured above), which was made for the purpose by Robbe & Berking silversmiths and is displayed in the Yachting Heritage Centre in Flensburg, Germany. The winning owner is given a solid silver Robbe & Berking goblet, presented at the Classic Boat Awards ceremony in spring.
