Sven Yrvind modifies the mast fittings on his custom high-latitude, shallow-draft sailboat to resolve interference between the halyard, topping lift, and electrical wiring.▶ 1:53 After drilling new holes to shift the starboard and port moustache fittings by one millimeter, he addresses the cable routing issue by installing a diagonal copper pipe to protect the navigation light wire.▶ 2:32 He secures the pipe with string while applying epoxy, planning to reinforce the structure with carbon fiber once the resin cures.▶ 2:33 This build supports his planned 14,000-mile nonstop voyage through the Southern Ocean, passing south of Africa and Australia toward New Zealand.▶ 0:18 The process highlights the transition from traditional wooden boat construction and kerosene lighting to modern materials like epoxy and carbon fiber. Proper cable management and structural reinforcement ensure the electrical system remains protected from moving rigging.
