The judges were impressed by Vertigo’s overall good looks as well as the practicality of her design. A feature that won her attention in other categories, the ‘midarettes’ that open to the water through shell doors in the yacht’s midsections, were judged ‘not only novel but most useful in their provision of a well located diving store and fitness room’. The naval architects among the jury also acknowledged the structural engineering difficulties of creating through-hull openings in a yacht of this size.
