RM 1180 Swing keel

Sailboat specifications

The RM 1180 is a 38’8” (11.8m) fast cruising sailboat designed by Marc Lombard Yacht Design Group (France). She is built since 2019 by Fora Marine (France) and RM yachts (France). The Swing keel version adopts an appendage configuration without compromise between draft and performance. The only drawbacks are the space taken inside and the price of the system...

The RM 1180 is as well listed, on Boat-Specs.com, in Twin keel and Fin keel version (see all the versions compared).

Find out more about the RM 1180 on Boat-Spec's blog: European Yacht of the Year 2020 nominated sailboats.

RM 1180's performances

Upwind sail area to displacement
 iThe ratio sail area to displacement is obtained by dividing the sail area by the boat's displaced volume to the power two-thirds.

The ratio sail area to displacement can be used to compare the relative sail plan of different sailboats no matter what their size.

Upwind: under 18 the ratio indicates a cruise oriented sailboat with limited performances especially in light wind, while over 25 it indicates a fast sailboat.
