What this video covers

Sven Yrvind installs the second mast holder for his side-by-side mast configuration.▶ 3:47 The masts lean outward to prevent the yards from touching, while the sides remain parallel to the horizon.▶ 0:09 The construction process involves securing the holders with thickened epoxy, followed by an exterior reinforcement of glass fiber.▶ 0:40 Yrvind plans to turn the boat on its side to apply additional glass fiber reinforcement to the interior of the mast holders.▶ 4:35 He notes that the peel ply releases more easily with each successive installation as he refines his technique.▶ 1:53 The mast holders are designed to be low-profile, occupying three square meters of space.▶ 4:47 Yrvind also demonstrates a specialized expanding rubber tool used for reaching into cramped pipes or deep cavities during the assembly process.▶ 2:49
