What this video covers
Sven Yrvind is outfitting the interior of a small, shallow-draft boat designed for a high-latitude, east-about voyage to New Zealand through the Southern Ocean.▶ 0:02 He installs hockey sticks as structural handholds to assist with movement in the confined cabin space.▶ 0:30 To improve ergonomics while seated, he experiments with a dead pedal—a foot brace intended to provide stability in a seaway.▶ 1:01 After initial attempts with wooden blocks proved ineffective, he transitions to a webbing-based design.▶ 1:11 He secures the webbing mounts using epoxy, planning to trim and smooth the attachments once the resin cures.▶ 3:06 He also evaluates the thickness of his current mattresses, noting that while comfortable, they occupy too much vertical space in the small vessel and may require replacement with thinner alternatives to optimize the limited living area.▶ 1:25
