Sven Yrvind prepares his small, shallow-draft boat for a planned 14,000-mile nonstop voyage through the Southern Ocean.▶ 0:14 He installs 18mm Blue Rio rope for the boat's lifting padeyes, drilling 18mm holes to ensure a tight, secure fit for the lines.▶ 2:35 To prepare epoxy surfaces for painting, he uses Scotch-Brite abrasive pads rather than sandpaper.▶ 4:31 He notes that the pads create fine scratches that allow paint to grip better by reaching into surface hollows.▶ 5:35 The boat construction also includes installing rainwater collectors and solar panels. Yrvind maintains a fasting schedule for health, noting a three-day fast during his 14-day work period on the vessel.▶ 5:54
