Cosa tratta questo video
Sven Yrvind modifies a component on his boat to prevent water ingress through an 8mm through-hull screw hole.▶ 0:01 He seals the opening by applying epoxy and using small rubber spacers to maintain distance and ensure a watertight fit.▶ 1:24 After identifying additional holes that penetrate the hull, he countersinks the openings to improve the epoxy bond.▶ 3:58 Yrvind also addresses concerns regarding the strength of the rigging, specifically the rope used to hang the oar.▶ 5:23 He defends the use of a simple string for this purpose, citing his 150-day voyage from Norway, north of the Faroe Islands, through the Bay of Biscay, and down to the East Coast.▶ 6:06 During that passage, the rigging endured gales and heavy seas without failure.▶ 6:07 He maintains that carrying spare line provides sufficient redundancy should the material eventually wear.▶ 5:55
