What this video covers
Sven Yrvind develops a design modification for his boat’s fins while traveling to a speaking engagement in Husqvarna.Watch He proposes a three-position adjustment mechanism that allows the fins to tilt outward, compensating for the vessel's heel angle.1:55 By tilting the fins to match the boat's 12-degree heel, the foils remain oriented vertically to improve hydrodynamic efficiency regardless of the tack.2:21 He constructs a physical model using epoxy to test the feasibility of this adjustable configuration.2:33 The design process involves creating a mechanism that allows the fins to move up and down while simultaneously adjusting the angle of attack. He balances this technical development with a daily fitness regimen consisting of strength training and running.3:11 The project remains in the initial modeling phase as the epoxy cures.2:46
