The International Yacht & Aviation Awards 2013 saw the beautiful WallyCento 100 HAMILTON yacht win the ‘Sailing Yacht 25-40m category. The  uniqueness of the IY&A Awards, organised by the leading design magazine design et al, lies in the fact that the winners are selected by members of the public via online voting, rather than by more usual panel of judges. The awards ceremony was held last Friday at the Connaught Hotel in London.

Luxury sailing yacht Hamilton features interior and exterior styling by Design Unlimited.  The first of the new WallyCento class, she is designed to combine both comfortable cruising and fast, exciting racing.  With that in mind the interior had to be designed and engineered to hit challenging weight targets yet show minimal compromise when it came to amenities and accommodation.

The result is a bright, airy interior using natural tones offset by splashes of colour set alongside carbon fibre elements for dramatic effect.

“We’re delighted that Hamilton has been voted the best new sailing yacht (25-40m) of the past twelve months,” said Design Unlimited’s Mark Tucker.  “We, along with the other partners involved in her design and built, put in a great deal of time and effort to produce a yacht that would fulfil the expectations of her owner, using the latest materials and technology.  We were very pleased with the result, and it’s wonderful to see that the wider public feel the same way.”
