Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Sven Yrvind recounts his 1983 transatlantic passage to Newport, Rhode Island, aboard his boat, *First Priest*, intended for the Museum of Yachting. After sailing from Scandinavia via the Shetland and Orkney Islands and the Azores, he arrived in Newport during the 1983 America’s Cup. Yrvind describes the logistical challenges of securing a berth at the museum’s base at Fort Adams and his reunion with his wife, who had previously left him to return to France. The narrative also details a mid-Atlantic encounter with a Swedish cargo ship in the Azores High, where he received fresh provisions. Yrvind reflects on his career as a boat builder and writer, noting the professional fallout from his critical articles regarding the seaworthiness and corrosion issues of an aluminum boat design. He concludes with observations on the 1983 America’s Cup, specifically the final race where Australia defeated the American team, marking a historic shift in the competition.
