What this video covers
Sven Yrvind fabricates a custom swim ladder for his vessel using D11 epoxy-laminated pipes.▶ 4:01 He constructs the ladder in two sections, joining them with a rope-and-epoxy bond designed for high structural strength.▶ 5:02 To secure the assembly, he applies thickened epoxy to the joints and allows the material to cure until rigid.▶ 5:02 Once the epoxy sets, he plans to shape the connection points and reinforce them with fiberglass cloth.▶ 5:02 The process includes routing an antenna cable through the bottom of the structure into the hull.▶ 3:29 Yrvind intends to test the completed ladder for durability before traveling to Karlshamn to consult with a sailmaker.▶ 6:03
