Lagavulin

Existing Redbay customer (and brother of the Managing Director!), Mr Alastair McLaughlin, has just taken delivery of his new Redbay Stormforce 11 RIB, Lagavulin. Having previously owned a Stormforce 11 Cabin, Alastair has decided to invest in the latest generation design.

Lagavulin has been fitted with twin Yamaha ME432TRP marine diesel Sterndrive giving a total power of 630hp. Each engine delivers its power through Yamaha's HYDRA TRP unit, each one fitted with counter rotating propellers. Power delivery, acceleration and overall performance is very impressive, with top speeds easily over 40 knots.

The layout of the RIB has been designed for comfortable offshore cruising. In the main cabin, four KAB suspension seats have been fitted. Aft, there are two long benches, making the most of the cabin length. The cabin has been fitted with new GRP seat bases, the sides are finished with carpet, whilst the floor is made from teak & holly laminate. Forward is the standard double berth. Aft, a large throw locker has been fitted under deck between the main cabin and the engine compartment. This is accessible from a large Freeman aluminium deck hatch.

Fitout on Lagavulin includes:

• Double Raymarine C120 Multifunction Plotters
• Navman Fishfinder
• LED Floor Lights
• CD Player
• ICOM VHF Radio with Handset
• Bennett Trim Tabs
• Cabin Spot Light
• Lofrans Anchor Windlass
• Front Window Wipers
• Deck Lights
