No matter how many times I watch it is always amazing to me how you have been able to successfully sail the world in your small boats. That you have created a small watertight vessel that can be righted and is almost impossible to dismast is huge but I have to imagine that the limited personal movement and being tossed around by the seas has to be tough in a long passage.
Your lament about the onset of the internet leading to less book buying and a slowing of interest in things that take lifetimes to build, reminds me of a favorite proverb “many are the varnish, few are the wood”
Big hug Yrvind from us in canary islands. We spoke on the phone about 2/3 years ago ❤️ i hope you are well 🙏🏼 We will cross the Atlantic in January, i hope to meet you at some point in some port 💪🏼🏴☠️🦜⛵❤️ all the beat 🙏🏼🌎⚓
I didn't know carbon fiber shrinks when heated and so researched that a little: "Carbon fiber is a fantastic material with a variety of applications. However, one potential downside of carbon fiber is its negative coefficient of thermal expansion. This property means that when the material is heated, it will actually shrink. This property can be problematic in certain applications where temperature changes are expected. The reason for this carbon fiber property is the way the atoms are arranged. In carbon fiber, the atoms are fixed in the x and y direction. The atoms in the z direction are typically unfixed because they are held together by Van Der Waals forces. When the material is heated, the atoms in the z direction are free to move around, leading to a decrease in overall size."

After a week I do not notice any movement. After one month my soul have adapted to the life on the ocean wave
Svend. The hot water trick is awesome. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks intresting story.

Interesting fact
damn. you’re making fast progress
they’re probably birthing the calf now that will give the milk for the ice cream of yours in New Zealand
I’ve been to Dingle
Captain Sven, are your books written in English? ✝️🙏❤🇺🇸🇸🇪⛵🍍☘🤗
Swedish
That's very interesting about carbon fibre I will keep that in mind..is this when you started with the lug sails?
Thats the real first
Bris had 1975 balanced lug sails and freestanding mast but I had problems so 1973 she was converted to Bermudan
So why not switch to a thinner steering cord of a stronger but more slippery material to compenstate for the shrinking carbon fibre?
Its on its way
My hindsight is good
Hi! Have you made the drawings yourself? They are beautiful.
It is Pierre Herve France
