Cosa tratta questo video

Sven Yrvind fits a small skeg to the bottom of his boat using high-density foam, approximately 400 kg per cubic meter — denser and stronger than wood.Watch He shapes the piece to fit a specific angle, screws it temporarily in place for lamination, then cuts fiberglass cloth to complete the layup.0:59 The work takes only half a day because he has a paid public talk scheduled that afternoon.0:32 He takes a taxi through Västervik — his first taxi ride since Buenos Aires in 1980 — to reach the venue, passing snow-covered roads and a harbor he notes fills with visiting yachts in summer.2:42 At the venue, an audience waits in front of a projection screen.4:13 Yrvind notes that public talks were a reliable income source in the 1970s and 80s but are now rare; he lives on a small pension and expects conditions to improve once he reaches New Zealand.2:04 His stated principle: attend to the details of boatbuilding and the boat will take care of itself.1:28
