Qué cubre este vídeo
Sven Yrvind installs new 8mm polyester halyards on his small boat to support a 3-square-meter lug sail.2:28 He replaces 6mm lines with the stronger 8mm rope, which has a 1.8-ton breaking strength, to ensure durability during his planned voyage from Vigo.1:22 The mast design uses simple holes at the top rather than blocks, so he leaves the halyards extra long to allow for shifting the chafe points periodically.2:38 He secures the halyards around the mast to keep them in place and adds a line to prevent the mast from lifting.3:44 Regarding the sail plan, he notes that the balanced lug rig requires minimal sheeting, though he continues to refine the sheet lead points on the port and starboard sides.5:37 He also addresses storage constraints for his clothing, planning to seal his shore gear in a bag within a dedicated compartment before departure.6:48 He remains concerned about total boat weight and water capacity, leaving the decision to stop in Madeira open until he evaluates the boat's performance under sail.0:40
