The inaugural Nautique Dutch Glory Awards will be presented during the Amsterdam Boat Show, that will run from 6 to 10 March, 2013. As a team, the acclaimed Dutch design studio, Vripack, is thrilled that both its NED 70 yacht as well as the Ribbon 45 SC yacht tender have been chosen as winners of this beautiful award.

Yachts that are designed and/or built in the Netherlands are eligible for the Nautique Awards. Design, implementation, innovation, sailing performance, ergonomics and practical use of the yacht are decisive for the granting of the awards.
The Ribbon 45 SC yacht tender wins the award in category ‘Motor yachts up to 15 meters’. The jury describes the Ribbon 45 SC as follows: “This yacht leads the way in a new direction of the Dutch yachting industries, boldness and innovation. The design is cosmopolitan and dynamic. Thanks to her sailing performance and high speed, this yacht will especially attract an international audience. The sailing practice is not forgotten, a thick fender prevents scratches and dings on this bold design”.

Motor yacht NED 70 wins in the category ‘Motor yachts from 15-25 meters’. The jury describes the NED 70 as follows: “The NED 70 is an aluminum seagoing yacht with a low displacement level which makes her very fuel efficient. The engines are relatively small, but the range is enormous. The NED 70 is an ultra modern yacht, with a promising light and spacious interior. Despite her sleek lines, the yacht is sturdy and able to beach on a sandbank”.
The philosophy behind the Nautique Dutch Glory Awards contacts with the slogan of Dutch industry: ‘Think yachts, think Holland’. As a team Vripack is very proud that its work has been rewarded with no less than two awards!
