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 asThis Youtube channel is about me an 85 year and one month old dyslectic solo sailor building a 5.7 meter long, 1.2 meter beam twin keel ocean going high latitude cruiser.

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
