What is the Concept Boat Competition?
Concept Boat is an annual competition, now in its sixth year, intended to encourage interest in the design of future boats and to show the global small craft industry how they believe boating should develop. The Competition covers the full range of recreational and commercial/working boats, and each year have a different theme.
The organisers of the Competition, the British Marine Federation, supported by the Royal Institution of Naval Architects and All at Sea Magazine, wish to encourage everyone involved in the design, development, production and use of small craft to look to, and through the competition influence, the future. There are two categories of entry: ‘Pure Concept’ and ‘Concept and Design’ which takes account of the profile of entrants which in the past has ranged from professional naval architects and designers to school teams and those simply with a novel idea.
