Sven Yrvind fabricates custom hatch covers to seal bulkhead openings on his high-latitude cruiser. He constructs these covers using Guy Cotten material, a brand typically utilized by French fishermen for waterproof gear.5:14 The design features a tensioning system with rubber bands and strings to secure the covers against the bulkhead, preventing water ingress into the living quarters during heavy weather.4:49 Yrvind installs these covers over mast-holder holes and other deck penetrations, ensuring they remain fixed in place even if struck.2:02 He compares the new, lightweight covers to heavier, previous versions, noting that the new design saves space in the confined cabin.3:57 To prevent injury, he smooths sharp edges on the mounting points and applies epoxy to rope attachment points to stop slippage.3:18 The installation process includes creating dedicated storage spots for the covers when not in use.3:34
