What this video covers
Sven Yrvind is constructing a new boat, currently focusing on the assembly of lead ballast weights.▶ 0:00 He is gluing these weights to the hull structure, noting that the new design features a lower, narrower profile than his previous vessels, with a hull depth of 10 to 13 centimeters.▶ 0:45 This project follows his relocation to a new workshop space after being forced to vacate a previous industrial facility on the island of Shorn in Rönneng.▶ 4:16 That former location, situated 10 meters from the water, served as both a living space and a workshop until the property was sold and local zoning laws prohibited residing in a workspace.▶ 1:59 Yrvind reflects on his history of building small, unconventional craft, including a bicycle-inspired boat with a deck and a split sail rig, which he constructed around 1985.▶ 3:07 He continues to refine his current build by bonding the lead components and allowing the adhesive to cure overnight.▶ 5:58
