Sven Yrvind constructs custom spars for his small boat using G11 epoxy laminate tubes and Epifanes paint.▶ 1:57 To achieve the necessary length for his planned 14,000-kilometer voyage toward New Zealand, Yrvind joins multiple tube sections by inserting them into one another with a 30-centimeter overlap, which represents three times the diameter of the spars.▶ 2:19 He secures these joints with epoxy and reinforces the connections by wrapping the exterior with carbon fiber.▶ 10:14 The spars feature varying diameters—ranging from 42 mm to 50 mm—which he tapers to maintain structural integrity.▶ 2:48 Yrvind utilizes these salvaged, discounted materials to minimize costs while building a rig capable of withstanding Southern Ocean conditions.▶ 6:46 He finishes the joints by applying epoxy to ensure a precise fit and wrapping the stress points with carbon fiber to match the original strength of the laminate.▶ 10:52
