What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for couples This compact 2025 RM 970 suits couples or small families wanting an intimate sailing experience without the overhead of a larger vessel. At just 9.7 metres, she's nimble enough for exploratory sailing yet equipped with modern essentials like autopilot and chart plotter.
Smart modern kit The new build year is a genuine highlight , you're getting contemporary systems and zero wear on the engine and rigging. A refrigerator and holding tank are practical additions on a boat this size, and the outboard engine keeps things simple and fuel-efficient.
Excellent value proposition With zero deposit required and only two cabins to maintain, the bareboat rate should be very competitive for a brand-new sailing boat. This is genuinely accessible sailing without compromise on build quality.
One real limitation At 6 berths across 2 cabins in a sub-10-metre hull, sleeping arrangements will be cosy , expect one cabin with a double and one with convertible bunks or a narrow twin. If you're chartering with friends expecting private sleeping quarters, this won't deliver that comfort level.
