Highfield Classic Models and Specifications
General-purpose aluminium RIBs with heavier fit-out, higher power ratings and console options on larger hulls. The Classic family sits in the Rigid Inflatable Yacht Tenders. Length alone does not settle the choice: verify complete operating weight, propulsion limits, passenger capacity and storage dimensions before ordering.

How to Choose a Classic Model
- Aluminium hulls save 15–30% over comparable GRP and are kinder to rocky beaches.
- Fibreglass hulls ride better and finish better, at a weight and price penalty.
- Ready-to-use weight (hull + outboard + fuel + gear) is the number your davits care about.
- 2.9–3.1 m is the sweet spot for most cruising couples: genuinely useful, still liftable.
