RM 880 Sailboats for Sale & Market Overview

The RM 880, introduced in 2005 by the French shipyard RM-Fora Marine, represents a definitive evolution in the niche of fast, performance-oriented cruising yachts. Designed by the esteemed naval architect Marc Lombard, the 880 was conceived as a modernized successor to the RM 800, incorporating the distinctive design language—such as the hard-chined hull and panoramic coachroof—that would define the brand’s identity for the subsequent two decades. Built in Périgny, near La Rochelle, the vessel utilizes RM’s signature construction method: a multi-chine hull crafted from marine plywood saturated with epoxy resin, paired with a GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) deck. This combination results in a hull that is significantly stiffer and lighter than traditional solid fiberglass, offering a displacement of approximately 3,200 kg on an 8.72-meter frame.
