THE VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY
RON HOLLAND
“Really not much in my life was planned.It was saying ‘YES’ to the next opportunity.”
- RON HOLLAND
Ron Holland is one of the top ten most famous sailing yacht designers in history and has received a Lifetime Achievement Award from Boat International Media.
Best known for Mirabella V, the largest single masted sailboat in the world with a mast so massive at 290ft–it will not fit under any bridge on this planet. Although Ron Holland is a yacht designer first and foremost, even if one was to ignore his design career, his professional open-ocean sailing race wins would still amount to a lifetime of championship quality achievement.
A self-made man who dared to dream big–and accomplished more–Ron became one of the world's top yacht designers without ever attending university, or even completing high school. Very few without a distinguished scholastic resumé are invited to teach at university, and yet Ron Holland was one of them.
Ron is a multi-talented self starter who rose to prominence in the elite world of yacht design. Whether sharing time with royalty and rock stars, or in the company of regular folks, Ron remained easy going. His real life story is as fascinating as fiction.
