Every year Sailing world Magazine names the boat of the year. This year the best crossover was a Beneteau First 30. It was said to be great for weeknight races and family outing. I personally didn't agree with their choice because of the overall design. It is a thirty foot boat with a tiller and dual rudder system. Personally I would like to see a sleeker design as it looks sort of boxy and a wheel instead of tiller would be much better because this is a thirty foot boat and it would increase handling. As for the inside of the boat I really think they nailed it with a v berth and a fully inclosed head. These two features really add a nice touch some 30 foot boats don't have.
