What this video covers
Sven Yrvind renames his boat from Corinne to Breeze Xlex and calculates its displacement-length ratio to determine if the 17-foot (5.3-meter) vessel can carry supplies for a four-month voyage.0:09 By utilizing space beneath the sleeping berth, he identifies 266 liters of storage volume, which exceeds his 120-liter water requirement.1:44 He calculates a displacement-length ratio of 224 for Breeze Xlex at a loaded displacement of 1.1 tons.4:49 This figure compares favorably to the Albin Vega, which has a ratio of 272, and the Paradox, which has a ratio of 267.5:13 These calculations confirm that the boat remains light enough to carry necessary provisions, including food, water, and anchor gear, without exceeding its design capacity.6:08 The findings allow for extended passage planning, including potential routes through the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans toward New Zealand.6:27
