At the recent 2024 Asian Marine & Boating Awards at the Shanghai International Boat Show, Mark Mills was named Yacht Designer of the Year, and the Cape 31 was named Asian Sailing Yacht of the Year 30’-45’.

The Award was collected on Mills’ behalf by Luke Greene of Enterprise Ireland. This is the second Designer of the Year Award for Mills, and is an honour reflecting our involvement over 20 years in Asian Racing. Even more exciting is the award for the Cape 31, with the fifth boat inbound to Hong Kong ensuring that solid fleet racing in Asia in the world's most exciting One Design Class is now a reality!
