The RM Yachts 890 is a 8.9-meter fractional sloop designed by Marc Lombard and built by RM-Fora Marine since 2013, featuring a fin keel with bulb and dual rudders, or an optional twin keel with a single rudder. Aboard *Jenna*, an RM890+, a solo sailor completed a 1,035-nautical-mile round-trip passage from La Rochelle, France, to Fastnet Rock, Ireland, in eight days and four hours, relying on Iridium GO grib forecasts and heaving to in 35-knot winds and four-meter seas to manage the vessel and drop the mainsail safely.14:56 The boat's square-top mainsail configuration, which measures 25 m2, demands early reefing to prevent it from becoming overpowered in short chop, and a double-reefed main is often used.20:07 The RM890 has a displacement of 3200 kg and a draft of 1.9 meters. The open transom design does not cause water ingress while sailing, and the interior includes a macerator toilet, fridge, and gimbaled stove.5:17 Recurring issues include genoa sheets snagging on a shackle pin in the fairlead and chafing, and a corroded Lewmar electric windlass motor.7:17 For light-air performance, a Code Zero or cruising chute is more versatile than a gennaker.27:34
