Vaan is a new Dutch premium and sustainable brand in the yacht building industry. Sustainable entrepreneurs Igor Kluin and Nienke van ‘t Klooster launched Vaan based on the idea that luxury and sustainability can go hand in hand by making clever use of technology and materials. Vaan focuses exclusively on sailing catamarans and, in addition to the current R4, expects to launch several other models in the future. Before launching Vaan, Igor Kluin was the founder of sustainable energy company Qurrent and co-founder and vice chairman of De Groene Zaak, a lobbyist organisation for a sustainable economy. With Qurrent, he won the Green Challenge award, a global sustainable innovation award. In his younger days, Kluin also was an international competitive sailor.
