Pink Gin - the "Sailing Yacht of the Year" - in Öresund

What a pity that Pink Gin was not using its sails last night ...




"The Baltic 175 Pink Gin, the world’s largest carbon fibre sloop, has been voted the Sailing Yacht of the Year at the prestigious World Superyacht Awards 2018.  She also won the Sailing Yachts 50m and Above category making it a glittering achievement for the silver-hulled sloop."
