Also on the launcing page of this channel.
Up to three years ago I was able to support myself via public speaking and by selling books.
Corona stopped my public speaking. My books do not sell anymore.
Luckily kind people support me with donations.
This is an appeal to you to continue to donate.
Today I am 83 and a 1/4 years old. I still work on my boat every day.
I have great hopes that she will one day influence reacreational sailors to build more seaworthy boats that give more pleasure to their owners. Boats that do not use much non renevable resources.
Every month the 22 I wil renew this appeal. There be no content but so far for almost a year I have built on the boat and put out a video every day
Thanking you in advance.
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
