ETAP 46DS "Boat of the Year" in UK !
(Jan 15, 2006)

On Friday 6th January 2006, the first day of the London International Boat Show, the inaugural IPC Media Marine Awards ceremony took place at Old Billingsgate in London.

 

ETAP Yachting was honoured to receive the trophy for the category ‘Sailboat over 40ft’ for the ETAP 46 DS from Shirley Robertson, double gold Olympic medal winner. “Etap deservedly claimed the trophy for their 46DS as she is a particularly easy boat to handle shorthanded without compromising on performance."

After being nominated for the “European Yacht of the Year” in Germany (final election on 21st January), “Boat of the Year” in Holland (final election on 28th February), and the “Coup de Coeur”-award of “Voiles & Voiliers” in France, this UK award shows how much the European nautical press appreciate and salute the innovative ETAP 46DS.
