It’s affiliation with the RM Yachts family is unmistakable, not least because the plans were drawn up by Marc Lombard Yacht Design, as with the previous models. The strong hull, which is made of plywood epoxy as usual, promises good sailing characteristics and both the exterior and the interior are cleverly and practically designed. The spaces below deck are spacious and bright. However, the cockpit is particularly innovative. The coaming is built right up against the freeboard, just like on a Class 40, and the large canopy over the low-lying sheet winches effectively protects the crew from wind and weather. Meanwhile, passengers can make themselves comfortable on the benches, whose backrests can be removed and transformed into sun loungers. All these amenities characterize the RM1080 as a sporty performance yacht with excellent blue water qualities. New horizons open up in front of the two steering wheels. rm-yachts.com
