O que este vídeo aborda

Sven Yrvind is constructing a small, shallow-draft boat in Norrköping, Sweden, intended for a 14,000-mile nonstop voyage through the Southern Ocean to New Zealand.0:15 To manage sail area in heavy weather, he installed a pad eye on the mast that allows him to lower the yard halfway down, reducing leverage and eliminating compression on the mast.0:42 He is currently preparing the mast surface for fiberglass lamination and installing navigation lights at the masthead.2:00 The planned route involves transporting the boat by trailer to Dingle, Ireland, to avoid the Baltic Sea and the Bay of Biscay.7:42 From Ireland, he intends to sail to Madeira to provision, then head south, passing west of the Canary Islands and the Cape Verde Islands before crossing the doldrums.9:23 The transit continues south of Africa and Australia, with a specific navigation plan to pass between the Snares and Auckland Island south of New Zealand to avoid shallow water and wave interaction.11:02
