What this video covers

Sven Yrvind applies epoxy to the interior surfaces of his custom-built, small high-latitude boat.▶ 1:33 He intends to sail the vessel 14,000 kilometers non-stop through the Southern Ocean, passing south of Africa and Australia to reach New Zealand.▶ 0:22 The construction process involves sanding and coating the interior panels to ensure a hard, dry finish. To improve efficiency, Yrvind modifies a brush by cutting and extending it, theorizing that the adjustment will double his painting speed.▶ 3:38 He plans to rotate the boat later to coat the remaining exterior sides.▶ 1:46 The project focuses on preparing the hull for long-distance ocean transit by sealing the interior structure with epoxy.
