Gerard Petersen is naval architect, founder of RhinoCentre and uses Rhino since 2001 in his projects in the most integrated way.
Petersen developed hull design and fairing skills to be able to develop innovative concepts with unique hull shapes like the
integrated trimaran Kenau. The trimaran project proved that Rhino is a professional tool to turn an idea into reality.
