Hello friends! Today is a significant day for us as we move forward with our latest boat project. This time around, I’m joined by my friend Sven Yrvind, who will be walking us through the testing of a crucial component – the hatch in the aft bulkhead.

Newly Crafted Hatch

The heart of today’s experiment revolves around a freshly made hatch meant to occupy the aft bulkhead space. This hatch not only adds functionality to our vessel but also promises an aesthetic appeal that enhances its overall design.

Testing Begins

The moment of truth arrives as Sven proceeds to test the new hatch in place. As it fits securely into its designated position, we observe the alignment and ensure there are no leaks or compromises on our vessel’s structural integrity.

Aft Bulkhead Dimensions

With the hatch now in place, we take a closer look at the dimensions of our aft bulkhead. Interestingly enough, it offers more space than initially anticipated.

Internal Layout Discussed

Sven takes this opportunity to elaborate on the internal layout. Notably, the kitchen spans 1 meter in length, while the sleeping area extends over 1.8 meters, providing ample space for both storage and comfort.

Bulkhead Configuration

We move onto the next section of the bulwark. This additional part is integral to maintaining our boat’s overall strength and water-tightness.

Multipurpose Utility

The design of the vessel is carefully thought out, offering additional storage options in both the bow and aft regions. This level of versatility enhances our vessel’s capability, catering to all sorts of boating adventures.

A Final Inspection

To ensure we meet every safety and structural standard, our team performs a thorough inspection. The focus remains on making adjustments where necessary to guarantee the seaworthiness of our vessel.

An Ode to Durability

The final phase of today’s process involves reinforcing our boat against any possible penetration from external forces. Here, Sven underscores the importance of a strong build.

A Momentous Day

Today marks an essential milestone in our boat-building journey. With each component passing its test with flying colors, we look forward to the days ahead as we finalize every aspect of this incredible 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
