The Ecolution is the first ship build by the company ECOLUTIONS BV, located in the northern part of Holland in the city of Groningen. This area is known for people with a "no nonsense" mentality combined with craftsmanship in boat building. Innovative knowledge is combined with people who generation after generation stands on a rich history of shipbuilding.The Ecolution is well insured, as Ockels announced. Still, repairing all the damage will take at least half a year, so chances are small that he will sail the Northsea this summer with his wife, Joos Ockels, who came up with the idea to sell their home en live on a comfortable and sustainable boat.About the owners.
