A Legend! Hear his around 84 and still sailing just an amazing person seen him on some other channels too. Who ever runs into this legend at the dock just stop and talk to him if you have the time. His traveled so far across the oceans in this little ship it's just jaw dropping. WOW. :)
can we all take a moment to appreciate that Yrvind is what 78? years old? in this clip...I dont want to be ageist but that I want to be that strong when I am that age

Sven is building a boat now. A new video everyday! Look him up on YT by his name!!! Unbelievable he's still building and is gonna sail around most or half the world soon!!!
Sven Yrvind is back home to build a new small boat to sail out on the world's oceans with. he is only 82 years young so he has many adventures left to experience. :-)
That was the point of the video. it's self righting through 180 degrees. The lines rolling it upside down maintained tension, meaning the boat wants to right it self.
Good boat! Good man! Why complete coup is not show? Вra båt! Bra man! Varför visas inte hela kuppet? Хорошая лодка! Хороший человек! Почему не показан полный переворот?
Nice boat, only I would add a small catamaran (or maybe trimaran) part(s) to it anyway. Just for some additional comfort/security in high seas. It stands rollover, but what if rollover happens suddenly with hatches open?
afaik, there is no self righting multihull, even with a proa (asymmetric catamaran) - so if you capsize, you are stuck inverted in the multihull, until you fill up one float and do stuff etc. etc.. By contrast, yrvinds boat is 180° self righting.
I wonder why the boat is so narrow, it looks very unstable. I imagine how it will move in the high seas. Its shape it's more like a small submarine, and it has not keel to prevent it from turning over. I have serious doubts about that boat.
So, does this guy have an email? I have so many questions. Why such small sails? How do you steer from inside? Why no keel? What are the concepts behind the rigging?
He does low energy boats, very small sails, very small forces. No keel because this was a downwind optimized design and it has a leeboard which serves the same purpose without adding draft or entering the hull of the boat. A very special design for a very specific purpose. I can't imagine sailing without hardly getting up for most of a year.
@@Jeremy-fy1sz So boats going downwind don't capsize and consequently do not need a keel to right themself? A leeboard is absolutely pointless if it does not extend beyond the hull and therefore reduce leeway. I suggest this is not so much a boat designed for downwind sailing, but one incapable of going to windward.
Because there was still tension in the ties maintaining the rollover, meaning that the mass was still exerting a moment against the force of the crane. Maybe learn the basics of statics before critiquing someone's engineering ability. If the ties were suddenly removed, he would have been violently thrown around inside the small cabin.
@@maxmackinlay618 Sven Yrvind has designed a number of small self righting boats since the eighties. Feel free to doubt him, but I’d trust the guy who has circumnavigated the globe in his self designed and built boat several times.
Sven Yrvind has circumnavigated the globe several times in boats he designed and built himself, based on his own sailing experience as solo sailer. It’s certainly not a boat for everyone or with lots of comfort but it’s built for a purpose, and that’s his purpose. I wouldn’t doubt the seaworthiness of this boat for a second.
@@negergreger666 I am all for freedom of expression, but I don't think anyone has built a boat that cannot be capsized and I would have been far more impressed to view the craft righting itself. I assume this is work in progress and an early prototype as it looked very unstable in sheltered waters let alone the Southern Ocean.
Woah, heeling and stability are things you can talk about the rest of your life. What most people think about, is static stability: ooooh, it's heeling tooo far! Dynamic stability is also important. Think about a sailing yacht rolling over in a wave, and then rolling back violently. Many yachts break the mast thanks to that violent roll in the windward direction. Knowledge is often more complicated than you'd think. But yeah, when such a tiny boat would lose it's mast, you need to paddle. I see your point. It is a darn small boat.
Everyone is so proud of his boat and tells him what a great job he did. Then they go home and say he must be crazy. So someone should just tell him the truth. His boat isn't good enough and he's to old. I'm 60 and work 12 hours a day 6 days a week but I use to hike up and down mountains for months at a time. I use to ride unicycles and skateboard and bike hundreds of miles. I'm getting older and just can't do what I use to. When you get old your time is up, you had your shot. It's ok to slow down a little.
What a sad comment. He successfully sailed to and from the Azores last year. He stays in good shape. Who are you to chastise him for still getting out there and doing it?

Remember the ice cream.
An amazing man building amazing sailing vessels... Just amazingly brilliant!! ✌🏻💗😊❣️
Love the jellyfish!

Sencillamente admirable la vida y trabajo de yrvind .
Interesting design seems very narrow and tender , in the open ocean it will be a real fun ride .
It looks like large sea kayak, does it? Waves are for dancing!
too tight for me but I'm happy for him. Best wishes on your trip Sir.
Cool idea. It will be fun to watch the progress. I wonder why he decided to not have a ballasted keel, if it's going to stay a monohull
it probably is ballasted. It has a slab of lead or iron under the sole, and probably storage compartments are full ... batteries, water.

A new version of Davey Jones's locker.
Браво!!!
I like the out boards, like dutch flatbottum ships.
Yeah, it's a skûtsje! It giet oan!
We all live in a yellow submarine yellow submarine....
Very good, thanks...
where are the fishin' pole holders ?
Sven is building a boat now. A new video everyday! Look him up on YT by his name!!! Unbelievable he's still building and is gonna sail around most or half the world soon!!!
I kinda want to know how the ventilation works in the boat. Even if it is waterproof can y still get oxygen in?
yep, using s-bends making a "water-lock"
Do you use lee boards?
nice concept but the voat seems to have a good deal of leeway also in an almost flat sea as in the Stockholm archipelago
this boat need a rollover test as its almost rolling over at a light breeze day xD
Is the ballasting effect of nearly a year worth of provisions that hard to conceptualize?
@@eether54 I guess it's even more self-righting with the weight of supplies, is that right?
bravo sir yrvind rollover
This was 2017,, what happened? Did he make the journey successfully? Are there other links to this story?
Sven Yrvind is back home to build a new small boat to sail out on the world's oceans with.
he is only 82 years young so he has many adventures left to experience. :-)
Haha yah man. Your boat is so desirable!
this guy is so cool
Seems like it needs a bit of a ballast keel.
Great
So once it is upside down with you inside in the middle of the ocean... how do you get it upright on your own?
That was the point of the video. it's self righting through 180 degrees. The lines rolling it upside down maintained tension, meaning the boat wants to right it self.
@@PineappleAdrift But no video of the boat righting itself.
Holy Moly!

Can you remember the Beatles song "We all live in a Yellow Submarine"?
You can retire your doubts. Sven is a VERY accomplished sailer and boat builder and if he designed the boat like this, it’s for a reason.
@@negergreger666 those two are not valid arguments , ludwig Dürr was also an accomplished designer .
...why two oars?
Cool 😎

Nice one
Does it fly ?
This was the boat that didn't work and he had to stop his voyage, right? Great attitude, but poor boats.
RIEN COMPRIS
since the lines were never removed, I don't see how you showed this boat is self righting
Because there was still tension in the ties maintaining the rollover, meaning that the mass was still exerting a moment against the force of the crane.
Maybe learn the basics of statics before critiquing someone's engineering ability.
If the ties were suddenly removed, he would have been violently thrown around inside the small cabin.
The test was valid its normal to do with the ropes attached.
@@schuttrostig5729 No way it will self right with the mast attached.
@@maxmackinlay618 Sure it does. The masts are carbon fiber and under 2 meters tall, very light.
@@maxmackinlay618 Sven Yrvind has designed a number of small self righting boats since the eighties. Feel free to doubt him, but I’d trust the guy who has circumnavigated the globe in his self designed and built boat several times.
After seeing how the ship is heeling in this bay with hardly any wind and no waves, all that can be said is; it was nice knowing you Joe!

The dude is 84 and has been sailing for years, what are you a turnip?
yuotube spam "recomend"kk
I think I will reinvent the wheel.
it's a submarine wow the sale plan is very strange though
Looks like the guy in Skrotnisse..
KOO KOO
bullshit box!
"Experimental" to what end? I mean really: What's the point?
To show you can go great distances in a minimalist craft. To show a small craft can be built stronger than a large one.
Without experimentation there is no innovation.
masochist
Boat and coffin !
What a waste of time and money. That design is not good for nothing.
Can't be used for anything but cruising - which is what it is made for! Sven doesn't believe in multitools / do it all boats!
I wouldn't take exlax across a river, it's minimalism to the sad end of the scale.... imho
Too tender. I'm sorry, it's a sewer pipe with a door. It better be waterproof.
Sin killa,inestable y feo,no se ahi no me montaba ..
