Highfield’s Classic 400 is a RIB with a sturdy aluminum undercarriage that’s affixed to Orca Hypalon (or PVC) tubing. This model is powered by a single outboard that delivers up to 50 hp, with a 20-degree deadrise for a smooth ride, a full-length keel guard for beach visits, and a sturdy rubbing strake for docking. The Classic 400 can be ordered as an open boat or with an owner’s choice of options, such as Highfield’s FCT XL open helm or the company’s SDS helm and built-in forward seat. The RIB is available in black, dark gray, light gray and white, all of which come with a brushed-foam teaklike deck, a bow locker, a dry bag, lifting points and towing eyes. An optional roll bar allows the Classic 400 to moonlight as a watersports platform.

Whom It’s For: Multihull sailors seeking a medium-size tender that’s lightweight enough to hang from davits aboard a catamaran.

Picture This: You and your family are enjoying a rest day in Antigua’s Falmouth Harbour. The kids are fired up for some fun, so you load your Highfield Classic 400 with water toys and zip over to Pigeon Point Beach for an afternoon of snorkeling, swimming, sunbathing and water-skiing.
