Qué cubre este vídeo

Sven Yrvind marks two years of building his current 6.3-meter by 1.4-meter boat, which began 21 August 2021 and has grown from 161 kilograms to 434 kilograms.0:03 The boat is not finished; he estimates roughly one more year to completion.0:29 He attributes the extended timeline to experimental design work — discoveries made on this build will inform the next boat.0:46 For context, he compares earlier projects: a schooner rebuilt from a fire-damaged, tree-grown 1885 hull completed in nine months; a cold-molded boat started mid-summer 1971 and sailed away 15 months later; and a more recent boat built in under one year that he then sailed 150 days in the Atlantic.1:00 The current project's weight progression — 161 kg, then 380 kg, then 434 kg — reflects ongoing changes rather than a straightforward build sequence.0:04 Slow progress on an experimental one-off, he argues, is not the same as slow work.0:36
