Ron Holland
Ron Holland - Principal
Born and raised in New Zealand, Ron has spent half of his life in Ireland. While his early love of racing sailboats evolved into a lifelong passion and career, it is also his unique and innovative design and creative sensibilities that have lead to his constantly evolving and hugely successful design studio.
His countless racing yacht, epoch-defining cruising yacht and ocean-going motor yacht designs have won numerous prestigious trophies as well as all the major awards. 37 years after his career started, Ron is still one of the most sought after yacht designers in the world. While his creations are the epitome of efficiency, beauty, style and luxury, Ron is one of the most relaxed and affable individuals imaginable.
Ron travels around the world extensively, visiting clients, yards, events, his four children and of course his two design studios in Kinsale and Vancouver.
