2019 RM1060 Portimao to Gothenbourg -a windy morning outside Holland

2019 we bought a RM1060 yacht in Portimao, Portugal. Sailed to Sweden during spring and summer. This is a short teaser for the videos I am preparing. A pretty windy morning outside Scheveningen, Holland, with some deep mornings thoughts by son Joel, though in swedish.

Hi there, awesome yacht, i have been looking at these awhile, as to a bit more info on speed, so if shes laden with cruise gear with 2-4 people do you think she will plane easily or no? im wanting a boat for meditteranean and further afield, atlantic crossing type crossing type boat.
Also to clarify are all the rm1060's twin bilge keel or was there option for a single fixed keel?
Also the dinghy, will it fit under the boom upside down, im guessing you have a stand dinghy size from the looks of the video?
And because of the twin furlers and self tacking track will prohibit it from fore of the mast on deck?
Thanks!

What kind of speeds did you hit? Would love to see more performance shots in different wind and angles if possible? How do you like the yacht? I just discovered RM and very much like the concept. I am looking at the 1070 and the new 1180. Thank you!

Hi, the advantage of the RM-yachts is that they do not hit the normal 7-8 knots barrier but can cruise at 8-9 knots pretty easy. But to start planing you have to empty out all cruising equipment and start using colored sails at pretty high wind speeds.

@@JAndersB Thank you very much for the response. It's good to know they can plane if they are pushed. I am looking for a family cruiser that I can race when the need arises. Wonderful to know they cruise in the 8-9 knot range quite easily. That makes a huge difference in planning and range for day trips. They appear to have a nice motion, well made, and nice bright interiors. Cockpit looks comfortable, even for a "racer" cruiser. Thank you!
