Good luck
It will be interesting no body try to influencie or changed his decisión
@homie3461the price is for exlex
@homie3461 Sven paid 55 kkr for the Havsfidra, he showed us the purchase contract in this video.
Life is a series of decisions, some easy, some hard.
We may not know which is which until long after they are made.
They are yours alone to make.
I'm sure many will be watching as you progress with yours.
I will be watching
@homie3461 it's a lovely boat, one I would have in a heartbeat at the right price. When he said 500,000kr (au$80,000) I nearly fell over. It's worth maybe au$10,000 in Australia maybe. Maybe his price had a typo and it was really kr50,000? I reread his post and he wasn't asking kr500,000 but saying that's what was spent. I would offer kr25,000, but it's in a part of the world I don't want to go.
The next boat planned dimensions have changed many times over the last year or two. Why not finish up Exlex and sail her this summer? Then you can write and think on your long voyage. More great ideas will come at sea for the next boat too. It would be a shame to see Exlex not be finished and sailed after all that hard work.
Exactly.
Shhh he’s going senile, don’t argue.
@@markettrader911 that's a bit rough. I don't believe it's senility, sven just struggles to make a plan and execute it. It's probably a self confidence thing. Over the last few years we have seen him change his mind so many times. He has too many options to focus on just the one path. Buying this last boat was just silly considering his financial concerns. But senile, no.
Let him does what he want
Dont judge him
@@JavierPf-zm3mn lol, don't judge. Hahaha we are human, mostly, we judge everything every time. It's what we do. Sven is a big boy, I doubt he is too badly hurt by the comments of some random on the internet. Don't judge, lmao.
when did you discover that Exlex is too big for you?
please, give an opportunity to all the work and the passion you have put into her. Dont drop 2 years of work into the trashcan. I know you are an artist but even artists must commit sometimes.
Maybe when in the water and sailing Exlex will convince you about her measurements, and what is certain is that she will teach you many valuable lessons for the new boat you are thinking of. Not to mention that she would sell much better as a finish and working boat than as an almost done project.
The truth is that you are so close... please think about it.
please please
It is obvious ! Totally agree !!
It is with great reluctance that I give this video a thumbs up. It certainly your life but like most of the commenters have said, take a little break and reconsider your decision. Finish this boat.
Follow your heart Sven. Your mind is constantly changing. Best of luck, your still an inspiration.
I understand that you want to improve and iterate your design. But wouldn't it be good to get Exlex seaworthy as quick and simple as possible and do some sea trials first? I'm sure testing her will give you a lot of new ideas and a chance to feel the rigging, stability, and so on.
There is plenty work to be done on Exlex before she can sail.
@@SvenYrvindExlex You are able to complete it quickly, if you stop thinking ! As an old artist, I can understand your mind. You are tired, but not alone.
@@SvenYrvindExlex More than involved in starting and finishing a new boat? Tempus fugit, Sven. As an old man myself (not quite as old) with a hundred boat project ideas (2 on the go at the moment), I can imagine how you have found yourself in this situation. As most other commenters here, I wish you well and pray you make the right decision for yourself. But I have to say, I think you should bring the current boat to some kind of finish and put it on the water. You have invested too much time and money in it. If you haven't already, discuss it with Peter and your other close friends around you. Once again, all the very best.
@@SvenYrvindExlex There will be much more work to do if you start from scratch!
Captain Sven, you know what is best for you. I hope you sale your boats as soon as possible! ✝️🙏❤🇺🇸🇸🇪⛵👣🍍🤗
People commenting about finishing Exlex have not fully understood that Sven is, first and foremost, a designer and a builder. Despite his sailing adventures, building and iterating the designs is clearly what really keeps him going, and happiest.
I, Chris from America, am the first commenter on Yrvind"s video! I thought Yrvind only sails vessels he constructs himself, so am not surprised he is selling Havsfidra.
Hi Sven . All the best , looking forward to the next build and video's too come , all the best to you and the crew .
Wise decision to sell Havsfidra again, I was surprises when you announced that you'd buy it. But not finishing Exlex? Finnish the boat, sail her and learn more to your next design. Take a trip to the Azores just to breath free air again. Think this one through once again.
Sven, it sounds like you need volunteers to help you finish the boat...Our time on earth is not unlimited, seems we should make the best use of that time...I would like to see you finish Exlex, no boat will ever be perfect, but she is a fine vessel that deserves to sail...Starting a whole new project does not sound like the best option, but it is ultimately up to you...Good luck!
Sven
Looks like you are having a crises. Maybe you need a break, take some time off relax and weigh up your options rather than making any rash decisions. Exlex will be fine and is so close now…
That was a long tiring drive. Rushed choices are never good. Perhaps you are you are in some kind of storm, of which we your audience does not know all the details. When it gets like this I find that it is always healthy to step away for a short time and and come back with a rested mind. Slow and steady through the storm has always proven to work well for you. Stay the course and keep the objective in mind. Yes a large part of your objective is building for it gives you much satisfaction. The changes you propose in your current Exlex project seem minuscule, just a matter of millimeters when looking at the larger picture. Will they really matter in the end? We would all love to see you finish Exlex and at least take her to sea trials.
I have been following your videos for some time now. And i'm a bit confused on the hurry to leave and the big changes. I wouldnt believe the news too much honestly. Fear is how big players make money, actual war not so much. The war in ukraine has a long backstory. Anyway, i wish you good luck on the next boat. But after spending so much on on the current one, are you not completely heartbroken? You almost finished it! Come on you can do it. Your calmness is always a Big inspiration for me
Sven, please finish Exlex. I don’t know why you have suddenly lost confidence in it. I believe it is the boat for you and you need to get back on the water sooner than later, you are a huge inspiration to many of us .
There is much work to be done to Exlex before she will sail
Aside from assitants, like videographer Peter, you work alone. Perhaps a few people would pay you to do work for you as apprentices.. thus finishing Exlex sooner, while bringing in needed funds.
@@SvenYrvindExlex
Hola Seven:
Posiblemente tenga usted mucha razón al decir que hay mucho trabajo pendiente para poner al Exlex a navegar. Pero lleva dos años de trabajo invertidos. Va a comenzar de cero otra vez, gastar 4 años en construcción, sin poder disfrutar de su trabajo?? Le pedimos todos sus seguidores que lo termine y pueda demostrarnos a todos lo ricos que son los helados de Nueva Zelanda. Con este barco, está a un silbido de distancia. Estará en condiciones de navegar en muy poco tiempo. Superará las pruebas de vuelco. Podrá hacer pruebas de navegación antes de lo que parece.
Rentabilice su inversión, su esfuerzo y su tiempo. Con la edad que tiene es preferible disfrutar navegando, que volviendo a preparar epoxi.
Es una opinión desde el respeto y el cariño que todos tenemos hacia usted. Dr todas formas, la última decisión será siempre la que estés considere más apropiada.
Un saludo desde la soleada Espsña.
@@pauagulloserralta3438 Un homme se noie devant vous et vous lui demandez de continuer à nager.
Honestly, Im glad to see youre selling the havsfidra.
Its a fine little boat, but in my opinion at least, a deep keel (at least on a small boat), bermuda rig and lots of complicated systems that will fail in mysterious and annoying ways is not a good way to do things haha.
And i began following your work because you dont design anything like that at all, and so i found it very interesting.
And i could not imagine a yacht designer who designs boats like your own would be happy on a boat like that.
I hope the sale goes quickly and easily!
More to know but I am content and confident in Yrvind. Time is precious. I hope you keep us along for the next steps
It can be a dangerous thing chasing after perfection. Current Exlex is not perfect but is still worth finishing and test sailing at least. Sometimes an imperfect result is better than no result at all. Also us viewers have been contributing money to Exlex these past three years, and if you want people to continue supporting your projects you need to give them results. Best of luck Captain.
I never said that I tried to build the perfect boat.
But its the carrot and stick.
I have good ideas and Exlex have some things that are not so good.
@@SvenYrvindExlex Sven, when people have contributed financially to your project, I think they deserve more explanation what happened here. You can't just turn the page without explaining more what made you make these decisions. They seem very sudden from the outside.
I associate myself with what have expressed Ocean Capable.
A few questions:
1) if the current exlex is near to be finished why don't you finish it, so it is easier to be selled then?!
2) if you sell exlex after have finished, tried it, you can better verify what of your ideas will be transmitted on the next boat. Isn't it easier to be selled at a good price after having validated it with a simpler navigation? Due to the fact that you refer exlex as a "sperimental" boat.
3) if you finish exlex for navigate to the Faroe islands and not to the roaring forties isn't it more easy to simplify a bit her construction? and sell it after that book?
4) !!! if you sell both the boats and you are afraid of a nuclear war with what do you flee away??
5) if you want to build a next boat, smaller, with less food and water to carry on you have to have well in mind what will be the future utilise and route, have you made your decision about it?
Exlex is not near to be finished despite the opinion of many and they have not even been in my workshop.
I now have better ideas and like to try them out.
I designed 8 boats, 4 of which were versions of the same concept. I only built 1.
The one I built has as many of my design ideas as I could put into it, as I don't know if I will ever build another. I think this dedigner/builder thing requires a bit of staying the course rather than jumping on the next isea that comes along.
I drew up comprehensive plans for my boat and I followed them almost to the letter.
I have ideas for future boats. But right now they live in my notebooks.
I think that if you can't finish this boat, you will most likely not finish the next one.
This boat you built - did you commission a shipyard to build your design? Did you own a factory? I’m trying to understand how you could build the hull structure in particular.
@markettrader911 you can build a hull in a backyard or a garage.
@markettrader911
I built it inside my mobile home, where it has to live when I am not using it. It is 10 ft long and 3 ft wide. It was built in an 11 ft x 11 ft space.
It is not much more than a long box with a fore and aft curved bottom.
Design ideas used are.
1.) A one-piece kick up rudder.
2.) A short-sweep to propel it when not under sail (instead of oars or a yulow).
3.) A sail that is a cross between a Chinese lug and a balanced lug (for ease of reefing).
4.) An emergency floatation/self rescue system designed to make the boat easy to right and re-board.
5.) The ability to make upwind progress without a leeboard or centerboard (it does have a single leeboard).
6.) The ability to stowe the mast, yard, and booms inside the hull.
And all of this was to be built by an unskilled builder with very limited tools. Only two power tools were used, an electric drill and a saber saw.
@@bobcornwell403 thanks for the detailed reply. I still don’t know how to make a fiberglass, aluminum or wooden hull using nothing but basic power tools.
My friend, I have the same anxious feeling about what’s going on at the eastern side of the Baltic as you.
I can understand both why you fell for the Havsfidra and of course why you let it go - it’s not your type of boat.
I wish you all luck in selling the new one and maybe consider to continue with the present Exlex after having some more sailing with your last Exlex?
Yrvind, hope you're well, you know the Exlex is a very beautiful vessel, such excellent lines and design. I wish your Norwegian family/ people would offer you an entire institution from whence you could share your acumen, wisdom and profoundly interesting Philosophical perspective and understanding. Awesome. All the best regards from here on the West Coast side of Australia 🌏🇦🇺🙏🤟🖖🐨👽
You seemed to be happily working on Exlex, maybe you should take a short break from the boat to rekindle your love for it?
Maybe you can cut out the middle of Exlex and make it smaller to your taste?
I was hoping to have at least another year to save up so I could buy it once you came to NZ (I knew you would sell it before doing your next boat) I don't have much to offer I know that Divynicel is very expensive.
In life, You must do what you want, but also be practical and know what goals are within reach: If you feel that the Next Boat should be a priority then you should do that. But isn't there always a "Next Boat" for people who design boats?
Call him up and give him an offer. You never know what can be worked out in a deal, until you've tried.
Yes, there is always in mind a next (and better) boat. It is the bane of the designer/builder, at least in my experience.
Best of luck Yrvind! I am glad you are a man that can make changes to your plans and thoughts. As we see in these comments many people can not grasp that. Very interested to see what you do next.
Thanks.
I honestly don't know what to say.
Certainly as I get older I find the prospect of bigger "Normal" sailing boats quite daunting.
Comrade Sven (and comrades nearby in Sweden), I hope you sell the Exlex to a sailor/builder near you in Sweden so you can advise on its completion and the boat can stay in Sweden. Your boats/work are a real national asset and heritage. I also wonder if you could sell Exlex with an option to use it. You could begin on your new boat, help a fellow Swede nearby complete it, and if events turn in a manner where you decide you must take your trip early, maybe you will have this chance. You would have to sell Exlex at a perhaps a bit lower price to have this option, but maybe this is a way for you to carry out the urgent work of the new boat and feel secure with the knowledge that you can sail on Exlex if work on the new boat takes longer than expected. I wonder if someone in Sweden could do that for you.
Sven,
I cannot believe that I have been following you for years now, but not to long ago I noticed that you seemed to focus more on your future project than on your current Exlex project. As time went on you seemed to shift your concentration to the specifications of what you call your Oceanic Philosopher and less focus on Exlex, which I believe caused many design changes ideas for Exlex. Not that is wrong, but these things disrupt the project timeline. I would agree with some of the other followers that mentioned you should complete Exlex, take if for a short tour and then put it up for sail. I still do not understand the logic in purchasing the other boat, but whatever. No matter what you decide I will still be here watching your progress and of course making a comment or two. If your heart is no longer it Exlex then I guess it is time.
Oh, about staying south of the Equator in case of a WWIII, better think about staying clear of South America as Venezuela and its neighbor Guyana are just about ready to start a war between themselves, it is that bad, and I am sure that some of the surrounding countries will join in. Maybe Oceanic Philosopher will have dive capabilities built into it. Smile, things will get better!
Best of luck with whatever you decide to do.
The way the World is going, you might be better off with a tiny battleship.
Im very interested in learning the details of your new design.
Good luck to you!
Sometimes difficult decisions need to be made in life. Most people don’t make these decisions and carry on with a life that isn’t as good as it could be. I completely understand the need and want to start on the next boat before the first is complete. So much is learned in the process of building, and the need to implement those lessons learned can be overwhelming. Life is short, squeeze every inch from it and ignore the naysayers.
This is life , we do get old yet still have dreams , I wish you the best , I have ten pages of a small cruiser on the drafting table but have a hard time walking with so many miles on these legs over the years so will never be built , we still dream though and that's a comfort
Sleep on it one more night. With the Havsfidra you could get on the oceans already this year. Maybe not the perfekt boat for you but perhaps good enough?
The decision is made.
I have been thinking of the next boat a long time
Keep the Havsfidra! It is a good, sturdy boat. And start a big voyage with it! That is I would recommend. Don't forget that life is not endless. I am 60 years old and I lost two friends last year and in the beginning of this year because they died. Your most valuable treasure is named lifetime! Sell Exlex und start to sail.
People age differently-
I have also lost plenty of friends
@@SvenYrvindExlexThank you for answering! Good luck, fair winds and a long life!
All the best from me in Johanneberg in Gothenburg!!!
We need Peter to take Yrvind out for a coffee and some reflection time. Too many quick decisions.
He doesn't need coffee, is he fasting again? Get him eating again!
Seems all irrational to me but maybe (sub)conscious emotions have taken over the helm.
But thats OK. Enjoy your new project.
You do you yrvind. It's your life if this is what you want then do it. On to the next boat.
Thank you for sharing your decisions with us
Exelx is a great boat, i hope someone will buy it soon.
I agree, and I suspect Exlex would be more valuable if she sailed around the skärs at least once. So I would love to see Sven finish her, especially now that she looks to be so close to sailable.
But what was the main reason for having scrapped the project? If you have one reason, what would have you done differently?
Sven, I respect your decision as it is yours to make. However, can I suggest you do as much planning as possible on paper or models to come up with a design you are happy with. All this chopping and changing is super inefficient. Work out the plan and finalise the specifics before beginning construction. I am a furniture maker and have specialised in prototyping so I understand the need to change a design when practicalities dictate that it is necessary, but so much can be solved with a good plan. Personally, I like to use a multitude of different planning methods to ensure I don't miss anything. I first draw a paper plan, then I visualise it repeatedly. I imagine the construction and view it from all angles in my mind. Only then do I begin construction. Using this method you can catch many mistakes and ensure an efficient construction process. I do admire your strength in admitting you have come up short with the Exlex design but please use proper design prinicples and methods to ensure you don't end up in a similar position with the next boat. Happy designing!
Stop and breathe, Sven. Talk to those close to you. Then make your decision.
Sven, couldnt you just cut the middle part out of exlex? Youre a pro with foam and fiberglass, i bet you could do it in just a few days.
To by była najmądrzejsza chyba koncepcja. Sven... przemyśl to! Ale przedtem odpocznij i odetchnij (psychicznie).
Having read through the comments and your responses to them, I am left conflicted. You initially pointed to uncertainty with rising costs of the build, but then spent money to purchase a new vessel. Then you looked at the new vessel, but decided that it was too large, so you decided to sell the new vessel. Then you went on to say that you are abandoning the Exlex project as well (too large, heavy rudder, hatch issues, etc.), and now you are to start a new project. Will money not still be an issue? It would seem that completing Exlex for the next owner would help with the monetary concerns to finance the next build. I guess that i just don't understand walking away from Exlex without finishing the build -- it might not be perfect for your plan, but completed it might be perfect for someone else who is willing to purchase it and sail away. Either way, i look forward to the new build, but worry that the financial issues will plague the new project due to the abandonment of the old project.
It will take time to finish Exlex.
If I do finish her with the things I do not like.
I cannot with a good conscience sell her.
It was not a good idea to get the Havsfidra for me
Now I know that.
The thingd you do not like about Exlex may remain if you sell her as is or if you were to finish her.
@@SvenYrvindExlex I do understand your reluctance to sell a project that has fallen short in your aspirations, however the "shortcomings" as you see them may not even be an issue for someone else. Boat size is personal preference, and what you feel is heavy steering might be described as responsive to another man. The Hatches appear to be functional although not ideal -- the new owner can make changes ... that is the nature of boat ownership. The first thing that you did when seeing the Havsfidra was to assess what you would change. If you just want to move on I do understand, and i will surely enjoy the next boat build. I just think that you are selling all of your work and toil short as it appears to be a seaworthy craft.
Dear @SvenYrvindExlex ! It looks like you have reached a crossroad. I wonder what kind of price you are interested in asking for the Havsfidra and the Exlex respectively.
You can have them cheap
@@SvenYrvindExlex Sven, don’t sell them too cheap, you will need the money for the next boat.
How about modifying Exlex? Quenet Yann has modified his 4 meter Baluchon and went sailing as soon as possible again. Can't you just cut Exlex to a smaller size?
Maybe a few days or a week without thinking of boats? A small holiday. To rest and clear the mind from money, internet and stress ? Family, friends 🙂❤ Someone told me Händelop is a beautiful place . A trip maybe? 🙂
Wow intresting
Oh Sven, are you telling me the *sweet* little full-keeled craft you just procured is going to be sold‽
That little red fart stole my heart Sven!
I know you need the money Now, to start your next build.
Did i hear you say it was built in '61?
According to James who has the
s/v Triteia (a 31' Albert sloop), the fiberglass on earlier boats was thicker, which possibly makes your recently acquired full-keeler a stout & seaworthy vessel.
I wish i had a way to make her mine Sir.
Something tells me she'll be sold quickly (which is what you need right?)
Why am i so enamored with that little darlin'‽
Whoever gets her, I Hope she takes them to some
🌹 Beautiful 🌹 locales!

Are you fasting again? The last time you were fasting for weeks seemed the decision making went off the rails just like now.
I really think you should finish your current boat you are building. Why not?
Uff. So much work, materials and cost. Nobody will even know how to finish exlex or be able to sail her to New Zealand. Don’t worry about Iran and all that. I’ve cream is more important. Vanilla flavour
Nobody seems to realise the date he published that video.... It was April 1st......
@@Itssmial_Ovayes, why are the commenters mentioning Iran? Sven didn’t say anything about it - are they projecting?
When did your doubts begin? Because as a viewer, this feels very sudden. It is hard to comprehend the last days of developments on your channel
Your last video about Exlex was when you weighed it. Did you find it too heavy all of a sudden?
The rudder system is to heavy, 45 kilos
The hatches are to heavy and the aft one cannot slide back and forth it have to slide sideways.
Then there is all the ways I can improve
It is Carrot and stick
Does seem it would take far less time and money to finish Exlex, than start a fresh.
Surely the problems are relatively minor.
You have a fresh mind Sven to be able to make theae changes to your plans swiftly amd not hang on to the old ideas. Well done and i like your channel because of your life philosophy not just boat building skills. Bravo!
Hi Sven . Will EXLEX be taken out of your workshop before the sale so you can start on Ocean philosopher ? and maybe get her wet ? Thanks again Sven.
If this pans out, Sven could retire in comfort on Oceanic Philosopher.
I think you are seeking perfection. You will never find it. Maybe that’s what makes you happy though.
it is your time … which is left, you must do with it … as you feel, your too old to worry about anyone else's view, I understand if you just want to keep building new designs with the time you have, deep in the creative process.
😁👍
Are you going to finish and sail the current boat you are building, or just start on your next boat?
I am not going to finish it.
I will start on the next one OCEANIC PHILOSOPHER 4.8X1.2 meter today
@@SvenYrvindExlex to us viewers, that is sad, as Exlex looks so close to sailable.
I would love to see you on her, even if you don't do a long ocean voyage with her.
It may even make her more valuable in a sale.
Exlex may be a difficult sell, it’s your dream , your build may be difficult for someone else to continue , at least get it water ready and sail the harbor ! “ don’t give up the ship” it’s your passion go out in a friends boat get those sea legs and fresh air in your lungs you will regain your love of Exlex at least to finish then start new boat
just have a think and be sure you are not slightly depressed when making this decision ,depression is sneaky bloody thing and can lead to bad decisions
Hard decisions, many are financial. I'm in similar difficult times.
If you build a smaller boat will you be able to carry sufficient provisions to navigate the Southern Ocean safely and sail all the way to the ice cream in NZ?
Quenet Yann sails the world on his 4 meter Baluchon.
I will have to make stops and catch water
Small boat = small problems. But maybe for you now , the best boat is no boat at all ? Because no boat = no problems...lol (just a joke).
I understand you, each boat has its pros and cons.
Maybe with a 4 m boat, the baluchon of Yann quenet would suits you!
I wish you the best !
Dear Sven, is this decision more related to money or to your strength ?
There is many factors influencing my decision, money is one of them

Good luck on your journey Sven, its been a wonderfyul story thus far. All decisions are the right ones at the time. Do you have chidren Sven ?
No children
@@SvenYrvindExlex occasionally I bounce ideas and decisions off my son, friends are great but they sometimes dumb down the truth. Opinions are like arseholes, everybody has one.
I wish you would finish the bout, Exlex. Because probably many viewers would like to see the finished boat and the trip that follows. If the boat is not finished, it is like we, the reviews, have wasted time on the videos. Doesn’t youtubers have some responsibility for their viewers.
How much $$$$ for exelex???
45.973,63 US Dollar = 500.000 Swedish Krona
I would like to see your face now. 😂
You can have her cheaply
Wow, what a fantastic waste of time and resources. I'd be dumbfounded if I was one of the people that contributed to this project.
Thank you for the update.🙂 Is it possibly the ww3 escalation last night that made you change your plans again? Feels a bit like you are selling out to quickly get to the southern hemisphere.
What indication is there he is worried about WW3? Another commenter said the same thing, Sven didn’t mention this during the video, so I’m wondering where you’re getting this from?
@@markettrader911 ruclips.net/video/m7sZUtO3FII/видео.html
@markettrader911 he often discusses wanting to get away to the southern hemisphere to avoid fallout from coming nuclear war.
We don't know if the Exlex canoe will float. I feel like I've been pounding money down a rat hole. Get the boat done, see if it's sea worthy, sell Exlex canoe, sell your new boat and start messing around with the new, smaller boat that might be wrong too. I'm glad I've wasted hundreds not thousands of dollars.
That boat will be 3 years in the making this August, 3 years!! I have been easily watching and enjoying his skills for at least 2 years.
He is 85 does he have another 3 years to build a different design?
No he has lost it he has built a incredible craft, finish it trial it and see if it is the boat to sail to New Zealand.
Are you saying you sent Sven money?
Maybe you should take on more of a teacher role and offer a building class or apprenticeship. Maybe you could supervise four or five young or old people each building their own boats and yours at the same time. Charge them each $5000 maybe to cover a shop rental plus a bit of profit. Pass on your wisdom to the next generation. RUclips videos are nice but very short. Maybe have a 6 month plan with $15000 in material costs so it's $20,000 per student. Maybe have a 2nd location as a backup plan just in case. Oh! If you record the classes that would make great youtube content. Make sure they sign waivers of course.
Captains answer to no-one so......hahaha. "get behind him or jump ship!" This makes things super interesting.. Enjoy the ride folks.
GO YRVIND-----
There's an elephant in the room. No one mention it.
Than why do you bring it up? It’s his life and nobody knows what best at this particular moment other than Sven. Best just to enjoy his videos without judgement.
I think you should just get out there and sail, you know you ain't getting any younger, or do you think deep down that the sailing life may have passed you by?
Lombardini = Lamborghini😂
Ferrari also make tractors, doesnt mean they are F1 race cars
Most people can only view the world through their own lens....We should be unemotional observers to the best of our ability. Knowing, we don't know sheeeit apart from our own reality. getting all "phoilosophic!"
Don't listen to the children in the comment section. You know whats up....
Never, ever listen to the HAters. People are very short sighted. Many feel entitled to an opinion, without having accomplished anything in YOUR ARENA.
You need to take a serious reappraisal of where you are going Sven, as your builds are essentially holes on the ocean nobody wants. Your latest build has not been proven and is essentially worthless. And to consider yet another iteration is, to my mind, insanity.
All his boats have worked so far.
This one isn't radically different to the one's he's been building and sailing for decades.
can you please describe "hole in the ocean"?
@@juansimon7020an old saying- “The definition of of a boat is a hole in the ocean into which you pour money.”
Ok you have decided, right or wrong, only you must be happy with the decision, lets see the plan
That is why for me it is important to create a list of desirables that you want in a boat, an then work to completing that design idea, changing as you go along imho only creates a compromise to your original idea, I remember Sven saying that he was inspired by the Azorian whaleboats, and now it is a completely different beast. I know he has this thing of remaining flexible, but in the end you can end up going in diagonal circles. Make a list of desirable features, design them , make a plan, even if it is just written and not a blueprint and stick to it. Every boat is a compromise, so stick to your "compromised" design. All this in my humble opinion, it may not work for you, though.
Writers and other creative people also makes lists of desirables still they keep changing and editing all the time
20 -30 draft is common
I was a creative director for 30 years, and know the value of a concept, plan or drawing and a list of desirable outcomes or desired responses that allows one to reach a solution within a desired timeline and deadline,
