What this video covers

Sven Yrvind constructs a mock-up mast, yard, and water boom for his small boat in Västervik, Sweden. He utilizes a temporary yard to determine the optimal placement for the halyard, aiming for a 40% attachment point along the spar to balance the rig.0:55 Petter assists with precise measurements using two rulers, or tumstockar, to ensure the mast and yard components align correctly against the roof structure.1:23 Yrvind drills holes into the yard to distribute structural forces over a wider area and plans to install a downhaul from the tube.2:08 The mast assembly sits wedged against the roof to maintain stability during the fitting process.2:15 Despite cold, snowy conditions in Sweden, work continues on the rigging components while Yrvind maintains his fitness routine of cycling and running.2:43 The project focuses on refining the geometry of the spar system before final installation.
