It's been a busy end to the year at Rob Doyle Design. Moving a yacht of this size has it challenges however M5 is now settled in her shed for her 20yr refit.

It is great to be part of such a innovative team at Rob Doyle Design pushing what is possible in Superyacht Design. This is a great article in the Financial Times on “Superyachts aim to go green-but at what cost” highlighting the direction Doyle Design is taking to achieve Zero Emission.

This is a really fabulous and beautiful project developed by Rob Doyle Design in 2015. So close to being built, a yacht with efficient hull lines with timeless classic profile lines and superstructure. Maybe now is the time!!!!!!

Amazing to see Cyclos III for Sale for €4.25m. I think that this was the best yacht I was involved in the design of at Ron Holland, I certainly enjoyed the few sails I had on it. Would be an outstanding Regatta Yacht. First launched 33 years ago and incredibly well built by Wolter Huisman.

Great to see the yacht myself Patrick Lynch and Rob Jacob first put the 70m concept together in 2000 looking so well. The mighty Nero

32m S/Y Naos new rig, It was amazing to rework the sail plan, stability and balance, giving her a much more powerful and versatile sail plan (old rig highlighted in RED in the sail plan). Staff at Rob Doyle Design were part of the original design team at Ron Holland Design.
