Rondar Raceboats would like to congratulate Mike Holt and Carl Smit (USA) who have once again successfully defended their 2nd World Championship title at the 5O5 Worlds in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Holt and Smit dominated the event by winning the championship by the 5th day in their Rondar 505.

This is now the 18th win for a 505 produced by Rondar Raceboats confirming that the hull shape has proven performance beyond any doubt.

The winning hull form remains unchanged, but many innovative features will all add to dramatic increase in torsional strength, improved ergonomic deck layout and rig setting improvements. All the details can be seen here.
