A LUXURY boat firm in Kidderminster is ruling the waves after receiving an American magazine award for a new motor cruiser.

US publication Motorboating said Sealine's F42/5 Flybridge Motor Cruiser represented the "leading edge in marine technology for 2002."

Sealine chairman Gerard Wainwright said: "We have always been considered leaders in the development of motor boat design and this latest award is a fantastic endorsement of our success."
