- No professional crew needed.

Ecolution-84 is an energy-autonomous sailboat designed by the dutch naval architect Gerard Dijkstra – classic in character but at the same time very innovative in its way of generating energy and her rigging.
Ecolution will awaken the interest and acceptance of the necessity of a sustainable future and stimulates the thought that we need to change our perspective of conventional use of energy in generations to come. It’s an educational example and demonstration of interest and acceptance of sustainable development on earth. A ship to minimize the use of fossil fuel. For extra power and safety two diesel engines of 55 kW each (on bio-diesel) are available.
Autonomy is reached when sailing. Ecolution will generate substantial energy in such a way that 3-5 sailing days are needed for three weeks living comfortably aboard. All energy is stored in batteries which is also the ballast of the boat.
