What this video covers

Sven Yrvind has flipped his boat to the starboard side and is laminating chine runners on that hull, completing the work faster than the first side.0:13 He thanks donors by name, noting his Swedish state pension is minimal because authorities consider his sailing and reading life as non-qualifying work.0:40 The main technical discussion concerns rudder depth relative to the chine runners: the original plan placed the chine runners as the deepest point of the hull, but Yrvind now judges that arrangement leaves the rudder too small.1:24 His current thinking is to extend the rudder 10 centimeters below the chine runners, though he worries that shift could induce lee helm by moving the lateral resistance aft.1:30 To counteract that, he is considering adding a small centerboard or daggerboard near the bow, partly recessed into the hull.1:47 No final decision is made; the rudder depth and helm balance question remains open.2:10
