I had the morning at Norfolk Yacht Agency Surveying this Rodman 41 luxury flybridge cruiser, built by Rodman Polyships of Spain to Lloyds & NATO Certification.
The origins of the Rodman Group dates back to 1974, when D. Manuel
Rodriguez, current president of the Group, founded Rodman Naval
Construction and Industrial, starting its activity in shipbuilding. Currently the Rodman Group is the oldest company in its sector in Spain with a wealth of uninterrupted for nearly 40 years.

The class-leading three double
cabin layout combined with the excellent performance, economy and ease
of handling from the IPS drives make this boat a great choice.
Fitted with IPS500 370hp engines, this Rodman 41 will still reach top
speeds in excess of 30 knots and cruise very comfortably at 25 knots
with a soft ride from her true deep-V hull. |

Another one of the larger boats for sale at Norfolk Yacht Agency this Fairline Targa 50 |

Volvo
Penta IPS is the modern inboard system, superior to inboard shafts for handling, onboard comfort and performance. The IPS system range consists of ten models, from IPS350 to IPS1200, matched to three different pod sizes and available for twin, triple and quadruple installations. |

Very impressive woodwork and joinery carried out by these ship builders. |
|
With five boatyards located in Spain and Portugal, the Rodman Group has
the largest industrial premises in the sector, totalling 240,000 square
metres, 66,000 of which are covered. These facilities have enabled the
company to devise an ambitious international expansion plan whose aim is
to achieve an export rate of 85% of production in the medium term. |
|
During these years, have built and delivered, in the shipyards of the
Group, more than 13,000 boats. This background and experience have
enabled the Group to position itself as one of the shipbuilding groups,
more established at European level. |
