Founded by Erik van den Brand in 2011. His passion for sailing goes back to his childhood. During his studies, Erik focused on the maritime sector. The crowning achievement was the graduation with his thesis research on success factors (focus on innovation and clustering) in the yacht construction industry in an international context.
After his study Business Administration at the University of Groningen he started his career as a business consultant within a large accounting and consulting firm. To fulfill his dream he chose to start a yacht design office. The goal was to better understand the theoretical and practical possibilities within the design phase and construction phase of sailing yachts.
