2021 was another interesting year as the pandemic continued on.

Here's hoping 2022 can be a year of going back to the new normal, whatever that will be.

But before we say goodbye to 2021 here on the forums, it's time for our annual Boat of the Year Vote.

This coming September of 2022, will mark the 20th anniversary of the Checkmate Community Forums.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the community over the years.

On to the poll!

This vote includes all the monthly Boat of the Month winners from 2021, so this poll, represents the best of the best.

It's now up to all of you to decide which of the monthly winners is the very best of the best and our Boat of the Year for 2021.

The Boat of the Year poll will run until approximately January 1, 2022, at which point the poll will close and we'll declare the winner.

The Boat of the Year pic will then be made our gallery index thumbnail pic for the 2021 gallery category, so this one is just mostly for bragging rights.

The eleven past monthly winners are posted below for your consideration. We only have eleven winners this year, as we skipped January's contest due to the forum software migration project of early 2021.

Here are the usual rules! Please read them before voting!

1) To be eligible to vote in this poll or any poll, you must have 100 total posts and have been a member for at least 365 days. If you wish to bypass those two thresholds, then you have the option of joining our supporting member program.

2) NO voting for your own boat!

3) No relatives or family members voting for your boat either. IF multiple voters are found with the same I.P. addresses voting for the same entry, we will view this as suspicious and we will investigate. If irregularities are found, the entry in question will be dealt with appropriately.

4) One member, one household, one vote! You are only supposed to have one account. If you have multiple accounts, contact me and I will merge the accounts into one with combined posts etc. Given that you're not supposed to have multiple accounts it stands to reason, you shouldn't be using multiple accounts to cast more than one vote. Again, if this is discovered, we will deal with it as fairly as possible. However, if an owner is found to be stuffing the ballet box so to speak, or breaking the rules, the most likely result will be disqualification from the poll. Claiming your two year old voted or the family dog has an account and voted won't wash!

5) All votes will be public. So names will appear beside the voting option similar to how they appear for the nominations.

Let's remember folks, this is supposed to be a fun little feature people. So let's not ruin it by taking it too seriously, instead, let's keep things in perspective and just have some fun with it.

Pics up for consideration are posted below.

Good luck everyone!
