Here I give Sam Holmes a guided tour of my workshop and show him some of the machines I am using.
I have been building boats in many places. First outside, then the the first Bris in my Mothers basement, then an aluminum boat in Vetlanda. Then for ten years I built boats in the upper floor of Hammarbergs Orgelbyggeri a very skilled organ builder. Below me was the pipe maker doing them of pewter
Later I built a house with a workshop near Lysekil. Unfortunately I descovered that just below my workshop was the worlds largest oil storage 2,7 million kubic meter. It was intended as storage for the coming war against the Soviet Union. When the Soviet collapsed the whole thing was sold to Preem an oil company for 100 dollars and I was chased away.
Then for 3 years I rented a small place on the island of Tjörn.
The house was sold and I was again chased away.
Now since 2005 I have this workshop and it works fine.

Sven Yrvind

Hi My name is Sven Yrvind. I design, build and cruise small boats. 1962 I left Sweden in 15 feet converted Blekingseka. I soon found out that there was room for improvement. To understand the basic I began to study mathematics and engenering. 1968 I sailed to England via many contries in a converted 13 feet rowing boat. People told me I be more happy on a bigger boat. November that year I found a wreck an old steam launch build 1885 I converted her to a staysail schooner and sailed her to Rio de Janeiro. That voyage advised me that a bigger boat do not bring happiness, happiness is an inside thing. I designed a 6 meter doubble ender built her in my mother basement. Tried to sail around Cape Horn with her but was capsized and pitchpoled. Later I built an 5.9 meter boat in her I rounded Cape Horn in the southern winter June 1980. I have continued to design, build, and cruise small boats often in high latitudes. Please support me on my donation button on my site yrvind.com
