Semi-custom, built to order
The hull and rig are proven. The layout, the interior and the finish are decided with you while she is being built, and there are many options to choose from, from the keel and rudder setup to wood, fabrics and lighting.
Every RSC 1900 is engineered in full detail before the build starts and built in the Netherlands with partners from the Dutch superyacht industry. A build takes 1.5 to 2 years. Hull number 06 is the next to be built.
