RM 1070 - My Ideal Cruising Boat

Well funnily enough my Dad built an Eventide out of plywood covered in epoxy! Unfortunately it burnt just before launch so we never found out how durable it was.

But I have never seen any suggestion of any problems.

I have a slight romantic notion of buying a plywood bilge keeler like my dad's, just the RM1070 fast version!! My dad always disapproved of "plastic" boats!

Some time ago I spoke to an owner of a 10:50. He loved it but said that they did not sail well downwind.
 
Arrival of triplets! Now have a Jeanneau Sun2000 for occasional S/H sailing and small Mobo for the family - beach trips to the IoW are the typical itinerary these days. Miss the RM and probably can't afford to replace, unfortunately.

Maybe im thinking of the 1050? The coach roof/ deck saloon of the boat you posted a picture of looks like a "ooooh super yachts deck saloons are being made this way so we'd better copy them to stay trendy" approach...which I hate.
almost as much as hideous hull windows and twin wheels.

oh, and square edged designer yacht interiors.

+1 on all counts
