What this video covers

Sven Yrvind installs a rudder and secures an anchor on his small cruiser.▶ 0:45 The rudder post initially binds against the hull, requiring the removal of a stainless steel washer and minor grinding of the top edge to achieve proper clearance.▶ 2:12 This grinding removes a portion of the Coppercoat antifouling, which he plans to patch with standard antifouling paint.▶ 3:32 He secures the rudder assembly from inside the hull using nylon lock nuts.▶ 4:44 The anchor lashing system is modified to ensure stability in rough conditions.▶ 0:22 To assist with steering and manoeuvrability, he relies on a sail plan consisting of one rear sail and two forward sails, supplemented by an oar if the shallow rudder proves insufficient.▶ 1:25 The design philosophy emphasises simplicity to maximise sailing pleasure.
