The season has begun, time for trade fairs and company visits! This spring we went to Boot Düsseldorf and Boot Holland, among other places, and we also visited a few suppliers and colleagues. Here's a glimpse. Boot Düsseldorf is the largest indoor water sports trade fair in the world, and we thought we could fit it all in in a day, including travel time. That […]
The picture shows our own ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus, which we've been using for our own dinghy for two years now. If there's one product from our range we wholeheartedly recommend, it's this engine. It's comparable to a 3hp gasoline engine, but with torque closer to that of a 6hp four-stroke.

Our first stop was Temo, a young French startup that develops and builds two electric motors entirely in-house. We had an extensive discussion, and the conclusion is […]

Remco, Yara, Nils, and Karolina were so happy we came that even Max Verstappen was flown in […]
Combustion vs. Ecosystem. What is the effect of fuel combustion in a combustion engine on the local ecosystem in marinas? Just another marina in the Netherlands in late summer. Young birds crying out for food, parents searching in vain. No fish in sight, but this "splendor of colors" on the water. An ecological disaster on […]
Last year, we equipped our own catamaran with electric motors. Due to a lack of reference, we had to rely on theoretical calculations. In the first few weeks of testing on small waters, reality proved to be better than theory. We've now sailed for many weeks, including considerable distances using the motors. Time for an interim evaluation on […]
