Redbay dimensions

A bit late in the day for the office, but does anyone know the beam on a Redbay 850 stormforce and its weights?

Thank you

Redbay 850



IIRC, the beam is around 3.1m

I'm not sure about the weight, heavy I guess...

It is the 850, not the 8.4m you're checking? That makes it interesting, 'cos there's only a three of them about, so it must be NEW!

Yep 850 is a better set up than 8.4, sits higher with tubes clearer than 8.4 that sits low and makes 850 a better set up IMHO. I was checking website and no figures, I have the drawings etc but no facts. I need to get correct beam, not sure it is as wide as 3.1

3.1m would not be a kick in the 4ss off it - I know my 7.4m is very close to that.

If you pm steve.redbay - he is their Naval Architect or if you want to wait I will get the details for you when I am up on Saturday for their open weekend - let me know

Spent the day out on the water playing in Rathlin sound with wind against tide therefore I did not get to talk to Steve about weight but I picked up this leaflet as the 850 is out of the same mould - hope this helps
