RM Fora Marine in Périgny near La Rochelle builds from tradition with plywood. This is unusual, but also environmentally friendly. The French have been focussing on ecology in boatbuilding for many years. However, their multi-buckling canoes are not only known for this, but also for their unique overall concept with many special features on and, above all, below deck.
With the RM 890, the shipyard has now launched another small tourer with a hull length of less than nine metres. During the YACHT test in dense fog, this exciting boat shows that it has a lot to offer despite its short length.
You can read the detailed test of the RM 890 in the next YACHT, issue no. 8/2014, available from newsagents from 2 April.
A small picture gallery of the test is available here in advance.
