O que este vídeo aborda

Sven Yrvind constructs a custom rope deflector for the rudder of his small, high-latitude sailboat.▶ 0:04 The component consists of a G11 epoxy laminate core, chosen for its durability and strength.▶ 1:01 Yrvind shapes the deflector to prevent lines from snagging on the rudder assembly during his planned 14,000-mile nonstop voyage through the Southern Ocean.▶ 0:14 The design features 25-millimeter fillets on each side to ensure a smooth transition and structural integrity.▶ 2:04 While the deflector remains removable for maintenance or manual clearing, it provides a permanent physical barrier against entanglement.▶ 1:35 Yrvind fabricates the piece by cutting the G11 material to size and grinding it into its final form before installation.▶ 2:37 This modification serves as a preventative measure for long-distance solo sailing in remote waters.
