Boat builder and sailor Sven Yrvind demonstrates an ingenious method for building strong boat corners using nothing more than triangular pieces of wood and a few basic tools. In his latest video, he walks viewers through the step-by-step process of crafting these essential corner supports.

The Process Behind Triangular Boat Corner Construction

According to Yrvind, building sturdy boat corners is crucial for maintaining a seaworthy vessel. To achieve the best results, he fills out each corner with multiple triangular wood pieces. But to make these custom-fit, he needs to create specific angle profiles.

Creating the Angle Profiles

To craft the ideal triangular pieces, Yrvind begins by constructing a simple tool. This device consists of two angled profiles that he attaches to a piece of wood. Next, he places this setup in a bandsaw, ensuring precise and consistent cuts.

The key to this method is the blade of the bandsaw. Yrvind emphasizes that the angle is always perfect, resulting in well-shaped triangular wood pieces.

Producing the Triangular Wood Pieces

In a matter of minutes, Yrvind’s tool effortlessly cuts through the wood, resulting in perfectly formed triangular pieces. He manages to create around 30 such pieces for this project.

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
