What this video covers
Sven Yrvind installs rope reinforcement in the anchor notch of his small boat, working through a sequence of drilling, knotting, and epoxy lamination. The notch area receives reinforcement at both the anchor root cleat and the notch edges.0:19 He uses a sticking-knot technique with rope, threading two knotted elements through the notch so the rope can later be tensioned between them; a third element covers the rim.0:58 Once the holes are drilled and countersunk, he wets out the assembly with epoxy, which cures warm and locks the rope in place.1:45 The boat has returned to Även Kiel after a transport the previous day that went smoothly.0:51 Four grooves now run on each side of the notch, and Yrvind plans to cut away the excess material and fit a cover between the grooves in the next session.2:45 The work is not finished but the epoxy stage is complete.0:58
