Sven Yrvind levels the floor of his 4.7-meter boat using epoxy and a spirit level while discussing his history of building small, functional vessels.0:24 He recounts his early experience converting a $30 clinker-built rowing boat into a schooner by adding a spruce-branch mast and a box-like superstructure made of tongue-and-groove pine.3:32 During a summer spent maintaining a 50-foot fishing boat named Kronan, Yrvind and a companion named Alan encountered a massive squall while sailing his small schooner.6:18 The boat began to sink after water flooded through an unsealed gap between the hull and the superstructure.10:53 Yrvind bailed water manually while Alan moved to the foredeck to maintain the vessel's balance.9:58 After the squall passed, they successfully bailed the boat dry and rowed to their destination.11:35 Yrvind subsequently sealed the gap in the superstructure to prevent future flooding.13:08 The narrative reflects on his philosophy of simple, low-cost living and his transition from a reader to a boat builder.2:35
