Highfield Sport Models and Specifications

Performance RIBs. Progressively less a dinghy and more an independent recreational powerboat. The Sport 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 Sport 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.
