6th January 2006
What are the IPC Media Marine Awards?
The IPC Media Marine Awards are the ‘Oscars ceremony’ for the marine sport and industry. Endorsed by the BMF, RYA and the YJA the awards celebrate and recognise individual achievement as well as excellence in boat manufacture and product design.
Innovative Boat of the Year
For the manufacturers of any type of boat, including RIBs, multihulls, day sailors and dinghies that combine innovative thinking with an emphasis on practicality and commercial viability.
Innovative Boat of the Year 2006
The Powercat 525. One of the small number of power catamarans of her size, this versatile craft was developed to cope with the demanding waters around the Isles of Scilly where rough seas, high winds and strong currents make for notoriously testing conditions. A deck that's above the waterline means she's self-draining even on the mooring, while low freeboard combined with enormous buoyancy and stability makes her a superb workboat.
Testimonials
“It is an extremely attractive and practical craft which everyone enjoys and has remained a family friend. Happy in all conditions, whether in smooth water between islands or out in the heavy Atlantic swell, it always gives us a feeling of confidence and safety.”
Prof. Graham Harding
