What this video covers
Sven Yrvind constructs a small, high-latitude boat by reinforcing the bow section with fiberglass fillets. He installs two wooden components, referred to as hockey sticks, into the forward structure to provide structural support.▶ 1:14 The process involves applying fiberglass to the joints and securing the sticks with a small plug to increase the weight and stability of the assembly.▶ 0:42 Four holes are drilled into the structure to accommodate the installation.▶ 0:48 To ensure proper curing of the fiberglass, Yrvind tilts the hull onto its side, allowing him to work on one side at a time.▶ 1:36 This method allows for consistent application of the bonding material between the structural members. The construction focuses on creating a robust, lightweight vessel designed for high-latitude sailing.
