Hva denne videoen dekker

Sven Yrvind applies a sand-texture anti-slip surface to the slippery bench area where the anchor rests and to the interior floor of his small high-latitude boat, using sand mixed into the coating and finishing with light sandpaper to reduce roughness.0:11 The boat leans slightly, which made the smooth surfaces a hazard.Watch He then paints the boat's name, X-Lex, on both sides of the hull.2:00 The name means "outside the law" — chosen because the boat does not qualify for CE marking under the European Recreational Craft Directive, which Yrvind says bars him from selling or legally using it.2:07 He argues the directive favors large, expensive production boats and discourages small, cheap, and safe designs.3:05 The name painting comes out cleanly legible from a distance, and Yrvind expresses satisfaction with both the anti-slip work and the lettering.3:28
