RM890 review

• Chris Beeson
• November 12, 2015

While glassfibre boats try to be wooden inside, Graham Snook test the RM890: a wooden boat with a modern interior

See the November 2015 issue of Yachting Monthly for the full test

What’s she like to sail?

Most yachts will shine in a good force 5, but the 890 was shining so bright she was blinding. We topped out at 9.4 knots beam-reaching in 20 knots of breeze, surfing off waves and generally having a whale of a time – or ‘working hard’, as I tell the editor.

She responded well to the helm, and the flat sections of her hull worked to get her surfing quicker than most – the downside is when a flat surface catches a wave it can slam a little. There was some cruising gear on board, more was yet to arrive; even so she was quick, comfortable and surprisingly dry.

It’s possible to helm seated in the cockpit, but with any heel it feels right to sit on the coaming. I found the steering a little stiff. This did however mean I could leave the helm to tend a line without her steering a course of her own. Although not quite nine metres long, her speed was up there with larger yachts, making longer distances easier to achieve.

What’s she like in port and at anchor?

Her open plan interior has benefits as well as drawbacks. It’s a bright area, and the large, forward-facing saloon window allows light to fill the saloon and forward berth area, even with very dark upholstery. It does however lack privacy, not a problem for a family or couple, but it isn’t ideal for a group of friends.

Shelved stowage is a little rudimentary and lighting forward isn’t the most generous. The shelves particularly might start to bug me after a while: it’s sometimes nice to be able to hide stuff away and out of sight rather than looking at, say, a bright green first aid kit on a shelf day in and day out.

Her hull is painted, epoxy-impregnated plywood. It’s very fair and could be mistaken for GRP, however it’s likely to be less forgiving than GRP if you were to misjudge a berthing manoeuvre. Her anchor stows well in the optional bowsprit and is led to an optional windlass directly aft of the forestay, which feeds straight into the deep chain locker.

Would she suit you and your crew?

It’s fair to say the RM890 lacks the luxury feel of many mass-produced boats, her galley is basic and her painted finish might not be to everyone’s taste. However the lack of frills make her more affordable (starting at around £70,000), as does her ability to dry out. Our test boat had over £22,000 of carbon mast and Doyle Stratis sails, which no doubt boosted her performance, but even with an aluminium mast and less exotic Dacron sails I would still expect her to be faster than most other boats in her class. She’s set up really well for short-handed sailing, so for a couple of eager sailors she’s make a wonderfully fun coastal cruiser with the occasional longer trip if required. Her twin keels, which enable her to dry out upright, open up a host of cruising grounds.

There will be those who find the thought of a brightly coloured, hard-chine, twin-keeled, wooden boat as comfortable to live with as a Great Dane in a bed-sit, but thankfully not everyone feels this way. The 890 is a fast little cruiser that’s well laid out both on deck and inside. OK, she lacks finesse below decks, but she’s a fun boat to sail and what you lose in luxury you gain in practicality, performance and most of all enjoyment.

RM 1180: our 39-foot / 12m sailboat

When cruising rhymes with performance.

Should you be looking for a fast, elegant cruising yacht, capable of crossing either oceans or the next bay nearby, solo or with your family, the RM1180 will satisfy all these expectations. Just add charm and seduction on top.

Designed by Marc Lombard and developed by our internal engineering team, this fast and modern 39ft sailboat is one of a kind monohull, representing the perfect synthesis of our definition of a transatlantic (or any other ocean!) sailing yacht: breathtaking lines, remarkable performances, non-to-second comfort, not to mention environment-friendly construction in plywood and epoxy.

“An RM is all about stYle: you fall in love with her design”

A bluewater cruiser combining well-being and comfort

As soon as you enter the RM1180 saloon, you get the difference: soft and large companion way, unexpected feeling of space for a liveaboard sailing yacht of roughly 12m, omnipresent light, and 180-degree visibility.

Further down your visit, this feeling is reinforced: soft and dry atmosphere, without any condensation (consequence of the wood’s insulation capability), attention to ergonomics that make a difference in day-to-day life aboard, practicality of the U-shape galley, of a real-sized chart table, added to the soft and relaxing tones of the furniture: just breath, you’re in the RM1180.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Marc Lombard Design team perfectly understood our expectations: conceiving the best plywood-epoxy 39ft sailboat. The specifications below show a perfect balance between the boat’s metrics: displacement, hull power, sail plan, liveaboard volume.

Elegance and performance: a reference in her category

At first glance, the RM1180 sets the bar: racy lines, personalised hull colour, feeling of power and safety. Sails up, comes the 39-footer’s personality: well-balance helm, smooth sea motion, speed over ground, responsiveness.

When it comes to maneuvering, the deck plan of the RM1180 has been fine-tuned with a combination of ergonomics and fittings which together lead to a mix of performance and safety. A good example of this is the position of the winches. Centered in the middle of the cockpit, their height facilitates their use by a standing crew, for an optimum safety combined with ideal body posture.
