RM 890
New cruising 29.2 foot monohull.
Impressive volume, 180° visibility.
Plywood epoxy for rigidity, performance and environmental friendliness.
Partitions laminated directly onto the hull for lightness and rigidity.
The hull of RM 890 welcomes two configurations:
Twin-keels/one rudder to reduce the draft and lay the boat easily
One-keel/two-rudders for maximum performance
At today’s date expect to pay 81 000 Euros direct from the shipyard

The FLYING PHANTOM is the first production flying catamaran for general public, it is opening a new era in sailing; foiling above the water from 7 knots of wind and reach more than 30 knots of speed in 15-20 knots of wind !
The revolution is on, realize your dream, fly above the water !

ABYC Seal
This very calm seal popped into the Algoa Bay Yacht Club to say hello on Saturday evening 24 May 2014.
Apologies about the light.
She lay on the side of the slipway, chilling and listening to the music – as she appeared in distress, the Sailing Commodore phoned our local Bayworld who will check on her in the morning.
According to Bayworld these seals are not used to people so do not run away or recognise two legged beasts as potentially threatening.
Still – I am not going to get much closer in case she gets a little angry with all the attention.

Take a Sail With Me – ABYC Week 2014 Race 4
GoPro time lapse from the 4th and final race sailed on Wild Thing (Russel Morgan) in ABYC Week 1 to 4 May 2014.
The Algoa Bay Yacht Club’s annual prestige regatta was sailed in Port Elizabeth, South Africa in very light conditions and produced a first in that not one race was sailed over the entire course. Four races were shortened and two abandoned as the fleet struggled in extremely light conditions – https://abyc.co.za/another-first-for-abyc/
In this recording you will see a bit of argy bargy towards the 12 second mark as Wild Thing starboards Orion (Kerry Bonnage) who starboards Unmatched (Graham ‘Weather Mark Wentie’ Wentworth).
Unmatched proceeds to foul Orion, bump Malgas (Tony Bailes) and then get tethered to the weather mark – earning enough penalties to make any crew dizzy!
