Sea Eagle II, the latest launched yacht by Royal Huisman has been widely covered in the media recently and is known for her impressive size and unique features. One of which is the large tender hatch on the aft deck.
This is the largest composite hatch built to date by Rondal. It measures a whopping 9 meters by almost 3,5 meters and was built entirely in carbon composite. Because of its excellent strength to weight ratio, carbon is a superb yachtbuilding material allowing for significant weight saving. In this case, saving weight on the hatch door itself, meant in turn the hydraulics could be sized down. This example shows that weight saving often trickles down in multiple efficiencies throughout the system.
Other significant advantages of composites are minimal thermal expansion, no corrosion, insulation within structure and it can be built exactly based on 3D scanning to ensure a perfect fit.
Rondal is widely recognized by the industry as THE composite expert and building partner for superyacht projects. Being a building partner, Rondal realized and delivered this as a turnkey project.

Arjan kijk eens hoe mooi of dat luik er in zit
Why scanning needed in a newbuild?
Right at this moment this large carbon composite radarmast (for a 50+mtr motoryacht refit) is now being transported to Amsterdam and delivered as a turn-key component at the Huisfit yard.
This is where Rondal proves its value; leveraging decades of superyacht building experience as well as composite expertise, resulting in a unburdened proces for the yard as well as a high-end end product.
Why carbon composite? The weight vs. strength ratio of carbon composite provides big advantages as the weight saving in general improves performance and efficiency. Saving weight aloft, makes a significant improvement on the stability of a yacht.
It is clear why Rondal is recognized as THE composite expert and building partner for superyacht projects.

Our design & engineering department have really outdone themselves... Again! This time, they came up with an updated spreader design giving it a slight curve, but more notably, a significant slimmer profile. This updated design is not only esthetically pleasing, but also decreases windage in our continuous effort to tweak and tune on performance improvements. Needless to say, without any compromise to its strength, stiffness and reliability.
Check each image for further details.
What do you think of this design update?

Nice design 😉
Very nice work.
Interesting Article by JMS Yachting on "green yachting". Further down in the article it describes how Rondal has partnered up with solar expert Wattlab in a R&D process in which space grade solar cells are integrated in composite surfaces.

Rupert Holmes talks to the build and design teams behind the 81m Royal Huisman flagship Sea Eagle II, which recently completed her sea trials off the coast of the NetherlandsFor onsite locations, our van functions as a mobile workshop. Fully equipped with all the required tools and parts for the job, it increases efficiency and flexibility for our service and installation teams to ensure the project is finished within time and budget.
What do you think of the fresh new design?

At Rondal, we are immensely proud to see this project, Sea Eagle II, sailing in full glory. With her 81 meters of unrivalled quality built by our sister Royal Huisman and stunning design by Dykstra Naval Architects.
After a series of succesful sail trials, she is ready for her upcoming delivery.
Sea Eagle II can reach spectacular speeds of over 21 knots by sailing the powerful full carbon panamax Rondal rig which can carry over 3500sq meters of sail area by Doyle Sails and all kept in check by the solid carbon elliptical continuous standing rigging by Carbo-Link.
Rondal played a vital role in realizing the Integrated Sailing System. This unique approach delivers optimization of all sailing components and systems through an expert process of design and engineering. This holistic approach leverages decades of superyacht experience, composite expertise and strong partnerships to realise the project with unrivalled ease of sail handling, quality and performance.

We must take care of our vessel, for it, to ensure a safe passage.
Likewise, we must take care of the earth and her oceans.
As, this planet is our only vessel.

These captive winches are quite the powerhouses! for a large newbuilt sailing yacht project, we are supplying the renowned Rondal captive reel winches and feeders ranging up to a whopping 24 tons!
Some stats:
Voltage: 750 VDC
Max power: 50kW
Max pull: 24 tons
Max hold: 36 tons
The winches can be customized to accomodate any line length and thickness.
Our range of captive winches can either have an electric drive or an hydraulic drive and can be built in aluminium or in carbon composite for performance and weight saving.
With great joy we anounce that Rondal is taking on the next super sailing yacht project: The Reichel/Pugh - Nauta 151. Our team is thrilled to embrace this project as Rondal has been selected as the best to answer the client's brief: Comfort to explore the world, in an extremely lightweight structure to ensure victories in superyacht regatta's".
Clearly a high performance yacht and the powerfull Rondal rig wil ensure just that. Together with our team of experts, Scott Ferguson LLC, Godfrey Cray, Doyle Sails and Carbo-Link, we have designed and engineered a strong, stiff and leightweight rig.
Rondal is creating a full scope solution with the Integrated Sailing System consisting of spars and rigging, furlers and winches. The power lies in an expert process of design and engineering, optimizing each component, (both Rondal's as well as third party) in which decades or superyacht experience is leveraged to achieve a strong, fast, lightweight and perfectly working sailing systems.
We are looking forward to a close collaboration with this all star team and our partners Nigel Ingram of MCM, Reichel/Pugh Yacht Design, Nauta Yachts and Royal Huisman.

An excellent article on the most recent Baltic Yachts s/y Canova.
A powerful yacht with a powerful sailig rig. For this, Rondal was the clear choise to make as our team proved succesfull in delivering a reliable high performance rig with smart custom solutions for short handed crew.
As a building partner, Rondal contributed the Integrated Sailing System, consisting of the Carbon mast, furling boom with clew slider, standing rigging by Carbo-Link and carbon electric captive winches. Unique to Rondal, this integrated approach allows for the optimization of each component. A process that started from the drawing table through to design, engineering and manufacturing.

What a sight! The stunning, impressive and already iconic Sea Eagle II, built by Royal Huisman and designed by Dykstra Naval Architects.
She is fully equipped with the Rondal Integrated Sailing System consisting of captive winches & feeders, deck winches, deck equipment, headstay furlers, furling booms and ofcourse the full carbon high modulus masts (panamax height) built in one piece (no section joining) together with the continuous solid carbon standing rigging by Carbo-Link and Doyle Sails, she has the very best sailing rig imaginable.

Wow.
Stunning
Just look at her cutting through the water upon returning home to the Baltic Yachts shipyard. When under sail, this powerful Rondal performance rig has helpt driving her to several victories. The mast, 67.9m sloop rigged, 16m taller than a J-class, is built from high modulus carbon, in one piece (no section joining) with full length uninterrupted laminates, based on a custom mould, all unique to the production method of Rondal. This is done to optimise its strength, stiffness and weight properties.
The rig further consists of a Rondal performance boom with clew slider for foot tension control, Rondal captive winches and Carbo-Link solid continuous carbon standing rigging.
This is what we call a 'Integrated Sailing System'.

Why carbon composite? The weight vs. strength ratio of carbon composite provides big advantages as the weight saving in general improves performance and efficiency. Saving weight aloft, makes a significant improvement on the stability of a yacht.
Also, composite provides the designer 'freedom of geometry', allowing for more appealing aesthetics.
