What this video covers

Sven Yrvind works on his inverted boat, using the upside-down position to address two tasks simultaneously.0:03 He fabricates moulds for the lead ballast, which will be cast at a foundry in Zambhult.1:30 He also discovers storm damage from when the boat fell over and repairs it by laminating four layers of 450-gram fiberglass cloth over the affected area at the bottom of the rudder axis, fairing a protruding section flush so water flows cleanly past.0:13 The lamination work is complete by the end of the sequence.1:03 Working with the hull inverted gives direct access to the underbody for both the ballast mould work and the rudder axis repair.0:26
