04-01-2007:AN EXCEPTIONAL YEAR FOR RODMAN(ALSO AVAILABLE IN LONDON BOAT SHOW PRESS PACKS)

Rodman, Spain’s premier shipyard in the construction of GRP pleasure craft and one of the most important yacht builders in Europe, has enjoyed an exceptional year. The company has launched the new Rodman Muse range with the unveiling of the Rodman Muse 54, the first in a series of new sports-flybridge cruisers. With the expected launch of more models for the Muse range in 2007, including a Muse 74, the year ahead looks very positive.

The Rodman Group is divided into three sections including recreational sailing, professional sailing (the construction of commercial and military projects) plus metalships and docks (large-scale steel construction). With over 130,000 ships navigating the globe with the Rodman brand mark, every range within this collection has particular attributes and values which distinguish Rodman’s core values of safety, reliability, strong performance in all conditions and versatility.

The new Rodman Muse range will complement the Rodman Yacht range. Launched at Barcelona in 2006, the Rodman Muse 54 will make her first appearance at the Collins Stewart London Boat Show in 2007.

The Rodman Muse range, a fusion of technical excellence and exquisite design, will see seven new models launched in the next three years, starting with the Rodman Muse 54.

Developed and designed with the creative flair of one of the greatest designers in the world, Fulvio de Simoni, the Rodman Muse defines quality as the most demanding objective.

Recognised as an expert within its field, Rodman remains faithful to its history and heritage, understanding that a faultless service is fundamental when creating positive relationship with its clients.

Rodman shipyards offer a five year guarantee against osmosis in the hull, and a ten year structural warranty. It is the first Spanish shipyard to achieve the quality certification ISO 9001, and the first European shipyard to obtain the environmental certification ISO 14001, conferred by Lloyds Register Quality Assurance, as well as the Pecal/AQAP 2110 certification.

Rodman Yachts and the Rodman Muse 54 will be on Ancasta stand S312 at the London Boat Show.
