O que este vídeo aborda
Amyr Klink, the Brazilian sailor and explorer, describes the design, construction, and eventual sale of Paraty 2, an aluminum sailboat he built with Thierry Stump at a shipyard in Itapevi, Brazil.2:04 The hull was designed for form stability rather than ballast, carrying no lead keel — a deliberate choice that allowed intentional grounding in polar shallows and eliminated the galvanic conflict between lead and aluminum.10:38 Two self-supporting AeroRig masts, designed by Damon Roberts, replaced conventional stayed rigs; Klink had already proven the system on a solo Antarctic circumnavigation aboard his first boat before fitting it to Paraty 2.17:25 Construction involved blasting hundreds of large boulders from the Itapevi site, transporting the hull to Santos to cut the centerboard slot in a parking lot, and recovering the masts from a bankrupt Spanish yard in the Balearic Islands through a confrontation Klink describes in detail.33:43 The first voyage took the boat from Ushuaia through Antarctica, South Georgia, and the Falklands, departing Antarctica in April — a month Klink calls unnavigable in ice and near-total darkness.47:33 Klink sold Paraty 2 to the Swiss Fondation Polar Suisse, which renamed it Forel; now in its third polar research season, it was selected from ten candidate vessels worldwide as the top platform for Arctic and Antarctic scientific work.15:13
