More awards for Jeanneau?

[MalcolmP]

The SO349 and SO509 have both been nominated in Sweden for the Årets Segelbåt 2015 awards.

Maybe Hoppy or one of our Swedish members might confirm, but my autotranslate indicates that the final selection will be by the public voting.

Couple of good video clips below:

The official "boat of the year" will be selected by a panel of judges and will presented on Feb 7th at the boat show in Göteborg (Swedens 2nd city on the west coast)

The public voting is for some public favourite award

The pricing of the competitors is interesting. The SO349 is the cheapest in it's category and you can get four SO509's and have left over cash for the price of one Amel 55.

I think I'll have one 509 in Aus, one in the med, one in Sweden and one in the Caribbean.

Thanks Hoppy, sounds like a plan

I see that the 509 has "Elegant snygging" which is always important

In Sweden I think the 349 is delivered with a years supply of baked beans
