After months of planning and work Rondar Raceboats are pleased to announce Rondar Raceboats USA is now up and running. The first 20 boats have been supplied to Massachusetts Institution of Technology with more on the way to other Universities across the States.

A new 420 will shortly roll off the production line for the college market and a set of new Viper 640 molds will soon be shipped from the UK so that both the UK and US factories can keep up with demand, last year over 40 Viper 640s were shipped from the UK to America.

The factory near Boston is run by Paul Zimmerman and Ben Parker and a team of dedicated production fabricators. Along with Drew Harper and Dan Tucker on the sales team the company is looking forward to a busy year.

Paul Young – Rondar MD said; ‘These are exiting times for the teams at both the US and UK factories. Production in the USA can now free up the UK factory to meet European demand for its domestic boats. It will also give the opportunity for the Boston facility to develop new markets in the USA'.

Rondar Raceboats currently build the Viper 640 keelboat, the K6 keelboat, 505, Enterprise, college 420 plus a number of other boats under contract.
