What this video covers

Sven Yrvind constructs the hull frames for a new boat, beginning with the installation of the first four frames. He identifies frame 21 as the largest in the series and utilizes a floor-mounted support system to maintain alignment, noting that previous methods of supporting frames directly on the profile caused unwanted bending.0:37 The assembly process proceeds sequentially, with frame 39 serving as the next point for support installation before the stem and stern sections are added. Yrvind plans to experiment with applying inside fibers first to the Divinycell core, a departure from his previous construction methods. He compares this current build to his 1986 project on the boat Breson PB, which featured a 50 mm thick Divinycell core compared to the 30 mm thickness used in this design. The structural integrity of the hull remains the primary focus as he continues to set the remaining frames.
