What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect starter choice. The RM 1080 "Kairos" is ideal if you're new to sailing or want a nimble, manageable boat without the complexity of a larger yacht. At 10.8 metres, she's responsive and fun to handle while still offering genuine comfort for four people.
Clever modern kit. This 2025 build includes a gennaker for downwind performance, autopilot to ease the workload, and a sprayhood for practical weather protection, exactly what you want on a pocket cruiser. The refrigerator and holding tank mean you won't be roughing it despite the compact size.
Outstanding deposit terms. With zero deposit required through Open Sail, you've removed a major financial barrier to getting afloat. That's genuinely customer-friendly and worth factoring into your total cost, especially if you're chartering from a distance and every euro counts.
Cabin space caveat. Two cabins for four people means you're sharing, which works brilliantly for couples or friends but less so for families wanting privacy. Berth comfort will matter more on a boat this size, so check the mattress spec before booking if sound sleep matters to your group.
