Highfield TV - Ep.1 - Classic vs Ultralite

Welcome to the first episode of Highfield TV! In today's episode we're filming from sunny La Rochelle, Grand Pavois Boat Show, and answering a question we're asked all the time - what exactly IS the difference between our Classic and Ultralite tender models?

Find our more about these 2 ranges:

Can you add a bimini to the ultralite? And how is performance effected if you have the fuel tank at the rear?

[johndfreeman]

The Classic shown appears to be a CL310BL and not the CL290BL as stated as evidenced by the bow locker product sheet. One thing Highfield could further clarify is that their coding system. i.e. Alpha prefix and suffix coding system. The reason is former specifications on the UL260 had a published beam of 5'8" and is currently reduced to 5'1". In my case I got something different than I thought I was getting. I wrote to Highfield and am awaiting a response. Apart of that, I have had a Highfield CL310BL Hypalon dinghy and I would give it a 10 out of 10 quality and design rating.

Would recommend the ultra lite for fishing?

Very good description of the difference between CL and Ultralite...Two Oars Up...!

At 2:12 you mentioned “bimini”, do you have any recommendations of a bimini top for the CL290 that will fit without any modifications? I have been looking for an super-easy-to-install bimini for my CL290.

Cl260 bowlocker, do you think 15hp are too much? 3 persons

You have to do something to help sailing yaba!😉 Their „Frankenstein“ is unsuportable!!!

Hate some sellers pushing 15” tubes on UL models

The classic looks terrific… Is it possible to get up on the plane in a 340 with a 20 HP engine and a family of four?
