The judges will be considering many things when making decisions about boats … the way the boat looks, the story behind the boat, the condition of the boat, the way the boat is constructed and engineered. 

Remember it’s not necessarily the most valuable or expensive boat that wins the ultimate prize at the show, it’s the boat that stands out for the judges as being special and memorable. All in all, there are a lot of factors that are considered when selecting the winner of the Jens Hansen Cup, and the other trophies and awards up for grabs.
