Ron Holland to Speak at RYC

Ron Holland, one of the top megayacht designers in the world, will give a presentation on yacht design at Richmond YC on October 6 as a fundraiser for the club’s Junior program. Orignally from New Zealand, Holland spent time on the Bay, designing Dave Allen’s 40-ft San Francisco-based Imp. He’s since moved on — both physically and professionally. His most current project is Bill Joy’s ‘super green’ 190-footer Ethereal, which is scheduled for launch this fall by Royal Huisman in Holland.

The $25 fee covers dinner, which starts at 7 p.m., and the presentation. Reservations must be made by this Friday. Contact RYC’s manager at (510) 237-2821 for more info.
