Sven Yrvind’s Flange Creation Process

Starting with the creation of flanges for both forward and aftmost bulkheads, Sven emphasizes the importance of using high-quality materials. He uses plastics to insulate the mold, securing them with tape for a smooth surface.

Following this, he moves on to reinforcing the mold with glass fiber, applying an epoxy layer and more fiberglass on top. This step-by-step approach ensures the flanges are sturdy enough to withstand sea conditions while keeping water from entering the boat.

Mold Dimensions and Installation

The mold opening is carefully measured at about 22 cm, providing Sven enough space to maneuver through for installation. His method ensures that the flanges perfectly fit into place, sealing the forward and aftmost bulkheads efficiently.

By detailing each phase of this intricate process, Sven Yrvind not only educates viewers but also shares invaluable tips for anyone looking to undertake similar boat-building projects. His dedication to craftsmanship shines through as he highlights the nuances in creating essential components like flanges.

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
