What this video covers

Sven Yrvind works with Marie to design a new boat using the Rhino and Solidworks CAD software programs. The design process focuses on the hull and structural configuration for his next vessel. Yrvind addresses concerns regarding his age and health, noting he is 67 years old with a blood pressure of 100/70. He maintains his physical fitness through regular swimming, bicycling, and calisthenics, including pull-ups and push-ups. Despite comments from others suggesting he is too old to continue building boats, he remains committed to his design projects and encourages persistence when initial ideas fail. Marie, who previously placed second in a World Championship sailing competition, assists with the technical computer modeling.0:16 Yrvind confirms his intent to continue designing and building boats, emphasizing that his health and creative ideas remain strong.
