The Highfield Roll Up 280 offers increased space and carrying capacity while maintaining the lightweight, easy-to-store character of the Roll Up range. Measuring 2.80 m in overall length and 1.61 m in beam, it accommodates up to 4 people and is rated for engines up to 10 hp. Owners can choose between an Air Mat floor for lower weight and convenient storage or a slatted aluminium floor for a firmer surface underfoot. Combined with its inflatable V-hull, the RU280 is a practical and versatile yacht tender for regular ship-to-shore use and is also well suited to an electric outboard.

Exterior

The Roll Up 280 combines manageable dimensions with a larger usable area for passengers and equipment. Its inflatable V-hull and aluminium transom provide a capable foundation, while the removable seat, towing points and lightweight rubbing strake add practicality for everyday tender duties. PVC tubes with welded seams are standard, with Hypalon available as an option.

Interior

With capacity for up to four people, the RU280 provides noticeably more usable space than the smaller Roll Up models while remaining straightforward to transport and store. Buyers can choose between the lightweight Air Mat floor or the more substantial slatted aluminium floor, depending on whether minimum weight or a firmer surface underfoot is the priority.

Performance

Rated for outboards up to 10 hp, the Roll Up 280 provides a useful increase in power over the smaller RU models while remaining focused on practical tender duties. Its lightweight construction and inflatable V-hull contribute to easy handling, and Highfield specifically identifies the Roll Up design as a good match for an electric outboard.
