Qué cubre este vídeo
Sven Yrvind modifies the fore hatch and guiding lines on his boat to improve functionality and water management. The current hatch design collects spray and rain in a channel, which dumps water inside the cabin upon opening.▶ 4:54 To resolve this, he tests a new guiding system for the hatch, incorporating a small pillar and line configuration to ensure smooth operation.▶ 0:08 He also installs a window in the forward section, allowing him to monitor sail trim and wind conditions directly from his sleeping berth.▶ 3:06 The existing aft hatch design remains problematic because it opens outward, requiring a new solution to prevent water ingress.▶ 1:58 Future modifications include drilling, shaping the hatch edges with a radius, and applying fiberglass to refine the structure.▶ 3:52 These adjustments aim to prevent water collection and improve the ergonomics of the hatch system compared to his previous vessel.
