MANUFACTURERS COMMENTS:
High tech meets hand made - The eye-catching sheerline of the Red Sky 29 proves that there’s really no substitute for good looks. But this classic beauty hides a modern beast: we’ve made sure, by way of sheer hands-on, high-tech engineering, that the yacht handles every bit as beautifully as it looks.
Building performance from the bottom up - The bottom of the hull is an independent module whose form strikes a perfect balance between stability, manoeuvrability and fuel consumption. The module also houses the whole electrical infrastructure of the boat, an ideally positioned fuel tank, a bow thruster and a mounting platform for the optional Gyro stabiliser.
Modular design: choice without compromise The perfect bottom module accommodates four different, distinctive superstructures and one RIB. Topsides are available as a laminated wooden structure with a carbon fiber internal layer or an epoxy foam cored laminate. The lineup allows for an interesting array of options and customisations.
The grace of classic proportions - Born of Allan Savolainen’s pen, the Red Sky 29 discreetly conceals her high tech DNA behind a beautifully proportioned, classic silhouette, honed to detailed perfection by hand in the best tradition of Finnish craftsmanship.
Yachting on rails: the magic of the gyro Gyro stabilisation turns the already stable hull into a train on water, virtually eliminating roll. No roll means no more sea sick days at sea!
The Red Sky 29’s Mercury engine is the only one on the market to produce enough electricity to power a gyro, in addition to catering to the needs of all the other electrical systems on board.
ABOUT RED SKY YACHTS:
Red Sky Yachts is a unique combination of a generations-long tradition of non-compromising craftmanship, innovative design and a radically classic aesthetic approach. The boatyard’s modern facilities allow it to respond in scale to the most ambitious demands in the field.
Henrik Andersin, Owner: - ”My interest in becoming a part of the Red Sky Yachts’ story started when I realised that there were only an handful of places on the whole planet to hold such tradition, skill and culture in the manufacture of wooden boats – more often that not, if you really wanted a proper wooden boat, you would have to build one yourself.
I’m convinced that true quality never goes out of style. That’s why at Red Sky we build boats to last – not just technically, but also aesthetically – and to be proudly handed from one generation of owners to the next, gathering not only value with age, but also grace.”
Chris Winter, Manager:- ”It’s the extensive restauration of the 12mR yact Blue Marlin that put us in league with the best in the world. Coping with the inspiring challenges of a project of such magnitude gave us the chance to develop the facilities and the contractor network without which no ambitious project can get off the ground.
Allan Savolainen, Master boat builder and designer:- ”We like to innovate, but not only for the sake of innovation. As an example, for the new Red Sky 29 we came up with an innovative modular production technique, that not only speeds up the process of building a wooden boat, but also allows us to build one-off boats in a small series. Embracing new technologies also helps us define and better execute what our clients ultimately want, which is absolute quality – no compromises, no shortcuts, no ifs and no buts. That’s what Red Sky Yachts is fundamentally about.”
