The RM 1260 is a distinctive 11.99meter (40foot) offshore cruiser that represents a pinnacle of RM Yachts' specific design philosophy: the marriage of the lightness and stiffness of epoxyinfused plywood with the highperformance geometry of Marc Lombard’s racing designs. Launched in late 2011 and famously winning the European Yacht of the Year 2013 award in the "Performance Cruiser" category, the 1260 was engineered to bridge the gap between a comfortable family voyager and a fast, oceancrossing machine. Its construction method—a multichined hull built from marine plywood sheets treated with epoxy resin—results in a structure that is significantly stiffer than a traditional solid fiberglass equivalent. This allows for a higher ballast ratio and superior performance in light airs, while the pronounced hard chines provide exceptional directional stability and increased interior volume as the boat heels.
