The Swiss flagged yacht SV Isla (MMSI: 269113740) paid a visit to the harbour for a couple of days during the week before heading off southbound on Wednesday for Padstow in the U.K. ⚓

SV Isla is a RM1200 built by RM Yachts (formerly Fora Marine), she has an approximate length overall (LOA) of 12 metres (40ft approx.) and a beam of approximately 4.22 metres (14ft approx.).

Founded by Jean-Claude Oudry in 1989 the RM range of yachts immediately stood out from the normal production yachts. All yachts being built of epoxy impregnated marine plywood with an internal metal structure carrying the loads for the keels and rig. The first model from this new yard was the RM 900.

In 1995 the respected racing yacht designer Marc Lombard came on board with the company to deliver the designs for the next generation of RM yachts. This relationship between yard and designer has stood the test of time and the Marc Lombard Design Group have now produced the designs of 8 RM models.

The yard has enjoyed a successful 30 years of production. Winning two European Yacht of the Year awards in the last 10 years for the RM1260 & RM970. With demand continuing to grow the company moved to a new purpose-built factory in 2017. ⚓
