Sven Yrvind modifies the interior layout of his boat, Exlex, by drilling holes to mount a gimbaled storage system.0:09 He rejects using velcro for securing items, citing difficulties with cleaning and the risk of spilling contents when the material releases.2:03 To increase storage space, he plans to enlarge a compartment, which requires reconfiguring the hatch to slide diagonally to avoid interference.3:14

The narrative reflects on his history with small-boat design, specifically the "Around in 10" challenge, which encouraged building boats under 10 feet for circumnavigation.6:34 Yrvind recounts his initial interest in exploiting measurement rules—such as excluding rudders from length overall calculations—before deciding against rule-bending for ethical reasons.10:05 He discusses the development of his side-by-side mast rig, noting that while the design proved effective, the lug rig’s 11-degree outward lean caused clearance issues with other vessels in port.13:13 He continues to refine his boat’s ergonomics and mechanical systems through iterative fabrication.
