Sven Yrvind Unveils a Simpler, Smaller, and Lighter Boat

Sailing aficionado Sven Yrvind has made waves once again with his latest boat design, aimed at simplifying the sailing experience. The new vessel now measures under 22cm in height, with an overall focus on lightness and minimalism.

New Dimensions and Weight Reduction

The boat’s reduced dimensions make it easier to store and transport, while the emphasis on weight reduction ensures that it is more manageable to handle. This latest version features key components that are now 20cm deep, a significant decrease from the previous measurements of 40-50cm.

Innovative Design Changes

Sven’s innovative design choices include making the keys lighter by reducing their weight to just 30 kilos each. He has also made the boat more narrow, which allows for better stability when capsized. This added width near the top of the deck increases resistance, making it harder for the boat to flip over.

Updated Dimensions

With these changes in mind, let’s examine the updated dimensions: The length of the boat is now 5.6m, with a beam of just under 1.8m at the widest point and approximately 1.2m from front to back.

Bulk Cadges

Sven has also introduced bulk cadges, with one located about 120cm from the bow, and another 170cm from the stern. These additions provide extra storage space for essentials without compromising on the boat’s minimalistic appeal.

The Optimist Thingy

Moreover, Sven has found a way to further reduce the weight of his creation by streamlining components such as
