1997 Ron Holland 7322m

Raised saloon/Pilothouse design. Full beam master aft, forward double cabin and two "bunk" cabins. 3 Heads. This incredibly comfortable and luxurious yacht features a roomy and functional layout that was conceived by Designer Ron Holland executed by noted interior design expert Andrew Winch. The yacht's interior showcases beautiful woodwork and a calming environment at sea and at anchor. The pilothouse/raised saloon is a Holland benchmark being both functional and elegant. The yacht is equipped with a true "ships galley" that works well for the crew underway or more elaborate meals with a chef onboard.

Ron Holland remarks - "I created Golden Opus to fulfill my design goal of creating the ultimate 'family cruising yacht'. At 73 feet (22 meters) in length and with a modern high aspect ratio self-tacking rig, I felt this was the largest yacht that an experienced yachtsman could handle (with a couple of paid hands involved to allow limited chartering). With my partners, Howard Kilroy and Andrew Winch, and their families we cruised Golden Opus from New Zealand through the Western Pacific to European waters, well-proving my original design concept. Golden Opus and her sister Volare have many successful ocean miles under their keels. "
