Maximale Performance, bestes Design

RM Yachten: Fast Ocean Sailing

RM Yachten sind außergewöhnliche Boote, die gleich in mehrfacher Hinsicht das jeweils Beste zu bieten haben. Unerschrocken und konsequent modern, bieten sie erstklassige Segeleigenschaften und ein unvergleichliches Raumgefühl im Cockpit und vor allem unter Deck. Dazu ein starkes Design, welches durch die farbigen Rümpfe noch betont wird.

Es ist natürlich kein Zufall, dass die Rumpflinien denen moderner Hochseeracer ähneln. So sind RM-Yachten besonders steif und vertragen trotz ihres geringen Gewichtes eine großzügige, dank moderner Riggtechnik leicht zu bändigende Segelfläche. Eine RM-Yacht wird vermutlich immer die schnellste Fahrtenyacht ihrer Klasse sein!

Das Leben an Bord einer RM ist ein wahres Wohlfühlprogramm. Viel Licht aus allen Richtungen, ein helles und freundliches Interieur, angenehme Schiffsbewegungen, wenig Lärm und keine Feuchtigkeit unter Deck sind die entscheidenden Faktoren dafür.

RM-Yachten aus Epoxidharzen haben durch ihre Bauweise eine besonders günstige Ökobilanz. Dazu sind sie sportlich, seetüchtig, schnell und individuell. Kurz: Der ganze Stolz ihrer Eigner. Schauen Sie sich hier die verschiedenen Modelle von RM Yachts an.

RM 1380 : The exciting alternative made of plywood

Michael Good

 ·  25.01.2023

The creases in the hull, which result from the special construction method, are typical of RM Yachts. The yacht builders in La Rochelle traditionally produce boats with a plywood hull and GRP deck, which is a unique selling point in this market segment. Like all RM boats, the new 1380 is supplied with chine keels and a rudder blade as standard, which means that the boat can easily fall dry. Alternatively, an electro-hydraulic swing keel is available, which can reduce the draught from an impressive 3.35 metres to just 1.45 metres. In this case, the boat is built with two rudder blades. Thanks to the plywood construction, this variation is possible without any problems.

The RM 1380 was designed by Marc Lombard. In addition to the multi-buckling frame, the forward sloping bow stem, the pronounced negative deck step and the large panoramic window in the cabin superstructure are typical of the brand. A pinhead mainsail is set on the standard aluminium mast, plus a short overlapping genoa with hole points on deck. However, a self-tacking jib is not provided.

The RM 1380 in the 360° tour:

Trim front, steer rear.

With the tried-and-tested RM cockpit layout, all lines remain at the front and are operated from the side of the companionway. Large winches are available on each side for this purpose. The winch for the genoa sheet is located slightly lower on a separate platform in front of it. This allows the winches to be close together and still be easily operated with the cranks. This arrangement proved its worth in the test of the smaller RM 1180 (YACHT 20/2019). There are also additional winches for the mainsheet aft within reach of the helmsman. As a novelty for RM yachts, the new 1380 is now also available with a folding bathing platform in two sizes, but only as an option.

The standard layout below deck is a conventional layout with two cabins aft and a large owner's cabin forward. Alternatively, it is possible to divide the foredeck lengthways and thus realise two cabins forward. In both variants, there is still a separate wet room in the foredeck, with a toilet room on one side and a bathroom with shower on the other. Instead of the double cabin on the starboard side, sailors who want to go on long journeys can also set up a workshop or a walk-in locker there. However, this area is only accessible from the inside, not from the cockpit.

The price currently communicated in Düsseldorf is 468,370 euros, including 19% VAT and a set of Amwind sails.

Our sailing boats

Since its launch in 2013, the RM890+ never stopped to surprise and seduce. The goal was to conceive a true cruiser, with loads of living space, comfort yet performance, at ease for both coastal cruising and port-hopping. In her different versions – twin-keel or fin keel – this fast 30ft sailboat is easy to sail, and quick to set up.

The ideal 32ft yacht for family cruising. With the RM970, you’re entering the serial cruiser category! Conceived as the perfect family liveaboard, this 32-foot sailboat will be your best companion to create great memories.

With the RM1070+ we wanted to create a 35ft sailboat suitable for all navigation plans, including long-range cruising. She is available in three appendage versions: twin-keel, fin keel, or lifting keel.

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.

The bluewater sailing yacht you’ve been dreaming of. For the past 30 years, Marc Lombard Design team and the RM Yachts engineering team have been conceiving legendary and head-turning sailing yachts, all contributing to the French shipyard’s reputation. The RM1380 is, somehow, the culmination of our efforts, and probably our most remarkable achievement.

A 45-foot sailboat made of plywood-epoxy, the RM1380 is exceptionally elegant and racy, and capable of long cruises, such as a circum-navigation or a transatlantic ocean crossing in the best conditions of speed, safety, and comfort.

RM970 on test – award-winning plywood family cruiser from Marc Lombard

• Toby Hodges
• July 7, 2017

RM has continuously improved its boats and the new 970 is a spacious and highly versatile yacht.

When I visited the RM yard in La Rochelle in 2012, I was really impressed by the quality of the company’s plywood epoxy construction process. Not only is plywood more sustainable than composite or metal, it is also a stiff, light and naturally insulating material.

RM’s yachts were still a little quirky, however, and needed to dazzle a little more on the water. Since then RM has moved into a larger yard and put an energetic young team in place, which has given the new line added spark.

RM won the European Yacht of the Year family cruiser category in 2013, was nominated in 2015 with its 890 and won again this year. Other nominees in the 2016/17 European Yacht of the Year awards : Django 12.70, Ikone 7.50, Jeanneau 51, Sunbeam 22.1.

This 970 perfectly demonstrates why designer Marc Lombard is so crafty in this size range. Modern lines, including reverse sheerline and voluminous forward sections, help create a spacious and highly versatile yacht that’s fun to sail.

Wheel or tiller steering can be specified; fixed or twin keels are offered too. RM has collaborated with specialists INO Rope on the deck layout: the purchase systems make light work of sail handling; the 3D genoa on an inhauler/barber system is a particularly neat set-up.

The 970 is great fun on the helm, really sporty, especially with the kite hoisted. There is direct communication to the twin rudders, which have real traction, allowing you to boss her around sharply.

Those accustomed to single rudders may still miss the feedback however, as the helm is neutral. We sailed in 15 to 18 knots with full sail, averaging 8.5 to 9 knots under gennaker.

At just over 9 knots she starts to plane, which is a blast and about the right balance of sportiness and control that you want out of a family cruiser. Upwind figures hovered around 7 knots but at a relatively low angle, even under staysail.

Seascape 24 – a pocket family sports cruiser that fits in an exciting and popular sailing niche

Seascape is a Slovenian company that produces speedy sportsboats inspired by Open class racing yachts – mini performance cruisers that…

RM sites the primary winches inboard, which is a superbly practical solution and the cutter rig option works well for cruising. I enjoyed steering from the aft quarters, but at this size, when a boat is fitted with wheels rather than tillers, the helmsman is squashed against the backstay.

Down below is the sort of  simple, bright and colourful modern interior that RM is known for. The saloon receives the majority of the space and light, thanks also to the open vee berth forward, and it adjoins a galley and a proper little navstation.

The two-cabin layout has a large heads aft that includes some wet hanging space and access to a utility/storage area.

Toby’s conclusion

This is the most impressive RM yet and shows the plywood specialists setting the bar for midsize cruisers. The 970 packs it all in – exciting performance in a fun, voluminous, versatile and refreshingly modern family-friendly cruiser. However, like past RMs it is comparatively expensive. I like the deck design, notably the running rigging and winch layout, and she’s a joy to drive – sporty yet authoritative, the ideal balance for a fast family cruiser.
