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.

features The perfect foil Innovation-packed 43-metre Canova was custom-built to go round the world. Roger Lean-Vercoe takes the helm Creating the perfect blue-water sailing yacht is not a matter of ch...Rondal is proud to have contributed to this prestigeous and highly innovative project. The team utilised our carbon composite expertise to build the very lightest, strongest and stiffest hull to achieve an optimised performance.
To make every ray of sunshine count! 🙂
Initial sea trials: testing Rondal's Integrated Sailing System on Royal Huisman 81mtr Sea Eagle II. Equipped with three full carbon Panamax height masts, standing rigging by
Carbo-Link, headsail furlers, boom furlers, and captive winches. The complete system is designed and engineered with optimization through integration.
Uniquely, Rondal is the only company in the world that can bring this holistic approach to a project.
S manual rolling furling mast is what I'm trained on....The motorized beam looks easy breezy
This is what the panamax height looks like from aloft the three carbon masted schoner, Sea Eagle II, by Royal Huisman.

Mooie headset ANTHON😜
De top bereikt !
Vriendelijke vakmensen op grote hoogte!!
Toppers!!
Dare devils... or just devils!?😋
Nice one fellas 🤟🤟
Vakmannen👌👌👌👍
Lunch up on skyscraper
The sky is the limit 👍🏼💪🏼
Amazing
Looking good Anton Brouwer
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'.

This large carbon composite radarmast (for a 50+mtr motoryacht refit) is now in its final stage with all equipment outfitted and ready for delivery as a turn-key component at the Huisfit yard.
This is where Rondal proves its value; leveraging decades of superyacht building experience, 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.
Also, composite provides the designer 'freedom of geometry', allowing for more appealing aesthetics.
Here's a sight you don't see everyday. In total, there's over half a kilometer of Rondal mast length in this photo.
Already for over 2 decades Rondal has been engineering and building carbon masts with a singleminded focus on superpyachts.
Our unique building method allows for the ultimate mast; one piece, no joins and full length laminate for an optimised strengh/weight & stiffness distribution giving an even bend (no 'hard spots'). Using a custom / unique mould for each project ensures an umcompromised shape and size mast profile.

Goed bezig Sjoerd
At our facilities in Amsterdam refit works are still ongoing, albeit with hygienic precautions. This way time spend in forced lockdown is not wasted but utilised instead.
The joint facilities with our sister companies Huisfit and Royal Huisman ensure the best efficiency and, needless to say, bespoke quality.
At this excellent location with non tidal, convenient access to open sea and deep water berthing and haul out, we welcome all yachts.
Currently, Rondal is working two composite structures; A radarmast for a 50+mtr motoryacht refit nearing completion and commencing a superstructure for a 40+mtr sailing yacht new built project.
In both cases, 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.
Increasingly, we see shipyards broadening their horizons on innovating their building process with composite materials on various applications. The possibilities are virtually endless while much advantages are to be gained.

Caged beasts! We lined up these two 24ton captive winches for a game of tug of war in our testing facility. One winch simulating a loaded sail while easing and taking in te sheet with the other winch.
Despite the Covid19 virus, Rondal is still operational with the right precautions. The canopy and radarmast for project m/y Broadwater (50+mtr) is nearing completion as planned. The lightweight carbon construction will improve the ship's performance and stability significantly. This project is turn-key delivered to the shipyard Huisfit.
Where to find us in the upcoming period? Rondal has a regular presence at industry shows, regattas and events. Check the list for our current schedule.
