This is a mock up video of the placement of the mock up drum winch for the hawse pipe tail.
It needs improvement. I got an idea but I realise that it is best to make a functional drum winch with the right dimensions.
I was sitting in a good position but the muddy anchor rode was passing over me dripping water and mud.
Of course it would be good to have 0.6 more meters of lenght in the cockpit but I am a stoic so no complaints.
A boat is a complex with many properties that must be balanced. If I had given her more lenght there would be less space in my workshop and to get her out of the building would need a lot of dissensembling in warehouse outside me that would prevent me from bringing her back to work on her after sea trials.
This balance between different properties is complex but with time things usually turn out OK or things have to be modified.

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
