Maybe gcaptain could start a “Ship of the Year” contest along the lines of Time Magazine’s “Person of the Year”.
I.e based on; “the editors’ assessment of the individual who most shaped the headlines over the previous 12 months, for better or for worse”
Maybe the forum members could be allowed to vote on their favourite ship, much like for Skipsrevyen’s “Ship of the Year” (non-binding on the editor)?
