The winners are announced in the March issue of Yachting World - here's a taster....

The European Yacht of the Year awards are the most independent, professional and objective in the production yacht industry. After eight days of sea-trialling last year in both Holland and Spain, the judges from 11 different magazines and countries have selected the 2009 winners for the four categories: Cruiser, Performance Cruiser, Luxury Cruiser, and Special Yacht.
Pick up your March copy of Yachting World from the 12th February for the results… but in the meantime, here’s a trailer from the trials.
