What this video covers

Sven Yrvind continues construction on his boat in Västervik, Sweden, focusing on grinding the interior hull to create space for an electric outboard engine.0:18 The irregular, non-rectangular shape of the hull complicates the installation, potentially requiring the removal of an existing bulkhead.0:47 To accommodate the engine, the centreboard will likely be relocated to an off-centre position on the starboard side.1:11 Yrvind plans to attend a boat show in Gothenburg on 1 February to research specific electric outboard models and potentially purchase one for the project.1:33 The grinding process has generated significant dust throughout the workspace, necessitating extensive cleanup.2:08 The final configuration of the engine compartment and the daggerboard placement remain undecided until the engine is sourced.
