This one-of-a-kind list of boats is based on an exhaustive survey of industry professionals, and the boats are readily available for purchase in most regions.

- Includes first-person accounts from owners
- Table of data for each boat, including important capsize number (an indicator of stability)
- Multiple photos and lines plans
