Director of the Rijnland Water Board Hoogheemraadschap van Rijnland Bert de Groot can somewhat agree with this reasoning. “If you really want better water quality, you should ban everything, including electric boating.” But the water board also wants to be there for people who want to recreate.

De Groot certainly sees the future in electric sailing. “We really have to move in this direction, electric sailing provides peace and quiet, less noise and it is really better for the water quality.”
