RM 1350 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for an RM 1350 means looking at a Marc Lombard-designed light-displacement cruiser from RM Yachts, first built in 2008, with a hull of epoxy plywood and a beam-driven interior that suits coastal living. Most examples afloat today are owner three-cabin layouts, though both owner and ex-charter versions appear, with ex-charter boats a common sight that buyers should weigh for wear.
Layouts on the Used Market
The predominant used configuration is the owner three-cabin interior, but two-layout boats exist and ex-charter units are common. Either way the boat carries seven berths and a 600-liter fresh water tank, so the difference is less about capacity than about cabin privacy and the wear profile of a former fleet boat. A prior charter history argues for a closer look at upholstery, hardware, and the plywood hull's interior framing.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market the RM 1350 commonly carries a chartplotter, heating, bow thruster, autopilot, EPIRB, life raft, hot water, cockpit shower, radar, air conditioning, and bimini — a cluster that covers navigation, safety, and comfort for temperate coastal use. Often-seen additions include a watermaker and inverter for longer stays aboard, electric winches and AIS for easier short-handed sailing and traffic awareness, plus a swim platform, teak decks, and radar already noted. A freezer appears only as a less common owner upgrade. For a buyer, the presence of a watermaker and inverter signals a boat equipped for extended anchoring, while electric winches reduce crew load on the cutter rig's headsail changes.
What to Inspect
The RM 1350's epoxy-plywood hull and composite deck are the central inspection focus. The builder's twin-keel form allows beaching, so check the keel roots and internal steel framing for stress where loads concentrate. With a published capsize screening near 2.2 and a comfort ratio around 20, the boat is a coastal cruiser; survey the wetted surface and immersion behavior for signs of overloading or prior grounding. The record does not specify ballast, so a surveyor should confirm internal ballast integrity rather than rely on a figure.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Typical markets for the RM 1350 are Portugal and Croatia. For a shopper, the practical checklist is: confirm layout (owner three-cabin vs other, ex-charter wear), verify the cutter rig and sheet sizes (mainsheet about 112 feet, genoa sheets about 45 feet at 5/8 inch), test the commonly fitted systems (heating, autopilot, bow thruster), and survey the plywood hull and keel roots closely. She is a coastal boat by design — buy her for shoreline cruising, not ocean races.
