“All my life I have been a keen sailor and competed in regattas around the world, ranging from keelboats to superyachts. This hands-on knowledge of what happens at sea greatly helps me to understand the demands placed on our products and how they interact with the whole vessel. Like the rest of the Rondal team I take great pride in the quality, beauty and functionality of our products."

"Growing up in a family where it was all about super yachts, it was clear to me from an early age that my heart lies with yacht building.
Together with the whole Rondal team I want to deliver our products to our customers with quality as main priority."

At Rondal I am able to combine my passion for sailing with my broad experience, which gives me an enormous boost of energy. Together with our highly experienced service team we build and expand relationships with Rondal’s customers. I look forward to meeting our customers and seeing how we can be of service to them in a way that creates value for both.

"Having worked in Rondal’s engineering department for 20 years, I joined the service team as a Rondal service coordinator 4 years ago. In this capacity, I use my enthusiasm and determination to assist our customers as much as possible, and coordinate a wide range of service jobs to a successful conclusion."

“If I had to choose just a few words about my role at Rondal, they would probably be ’variety’, ‘stimulation’, ‘challenge’ and ‘reward’. There really is never a dull moment for me here. I specialize in sail handling systems – spars, rigging, booms, winches and feeders – and, as any sailor knows, this is the ‘sharp end’ of sailing, where the excitement and responsibility must come together. I have overseen production and delivery of rig packages (doors too) for many high profile projects.”

"From an early age on, I have had an enormous intrinsic interest in a wide variety of technologies and the Dutch shipbuilding industry. In my opinion, there is nothing better than being able to combine these two worlds. I’m always looking for opportunities to improve both myself and my environment, and as it happens, this is synonymous with Rondals philosophy. Think ahead!"

"I am born in the region of Vollenhove, so water sports is more or less in my DNA. When I got the opportunity to join the Rondal-team as a Project Manager it made me very enthusiastic. It is my ambition to guide the different projects through the Rondal-organization taken the specific qualities of the team-members into account, so that the obtained result is a team-effort. Therefore it is my goal to bring demand, offer, quality and capacity together for achieving the most optimum result."

I am a naval architect – my career was born from my desire to design, engineer and build the classic pilot cutter I spent my childhood sailing on. Every day at Rondal, I am challenged to guide our clients in balancing the functionality, performance and aesthetics of our integrated sailing systems.

The superyacht industry requires powerful winch performance but also a designer’s eye to the structural aesthetics. “Our winches are seaworthy and will last a lifetime. We took the winches off S/Y Juliet recently for maintenance during her refit, even after 35 years they still look and function as if they were built yesterday.”

When I began my career at Rondal our focus was on mast & boom construction, but with the innovation in building methods using the latest composite materials we have been able to expand into building superior composite structures for both sailing and motor yachts. What motivates me on a daily basis is the desire to gain perfect outcomes both with what we build and within my team.

When I spotted the opportunity to be responsible for finances at Rondal, I immediately became enthusiastic. During my Finance studies, I realized that a function in controlling would be the perfect job for me. Working in the sailing industry has always been a dream of mine. Being part of the Rondal team and supporting its growth potential makes me feel very proud.
