In a comment yesterday John Welsford, desinger suggested that I should increase the 2.7 sqare meter sail area of the three sails to 4 square meter.
I fact in the video of 6 April at 3:54 min I showed the model with three 4 square meter sails but then I got cold feet and when I changed to skipp the side by side mast and go for three in line mast the area was reduced to 2.7 square meter.
There is a lot of westerly gales south of Cape Horn. Now my feets are getting a bit warmer my courage is returning and I feel brave so it is back to 4 square meter a total of 12.
The thinking is. South of Cape Horn there is 15 – 25 % gales and a one knot current setting east.. It means that there is 75 % of not gales and if progress is to be made that in those days I have to drive the boat hard with a lot of sail.
So I thank John Welsford and I increase the area and hopefully in my chest a Lion-heart will grow.

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
