There seems to be a lot of side-slip due to having no keel or centerboard. But I like the simplicity of the sail plan, so easy to manage. Yrvind's inventiveness is amazing.
Congratulations, a very nice boat. By the way, we use, what you call chine runners on catamarans since 1980. What you call, "chine runners" can be compared to winglets on modern aircraft. What they do is, reducing the water flow on the downwind side of the hull. In this way, the boat sails better to windward and generate fewer vortexes.
His planned speed is 2 knots. He is planning to go around the globe non stop in that, I'd think he'd place safety before speed. He has circumvented the globe several times alone so I'd guess he knows what he's doing.
Cymon Cyrado It doesn't, shortly after the making of this video the boat went head on with a Volvo at a boat ramp. It was destroyed, the only thing salvageable was that weird cone thing on the back. Sadly Claus' wife wouldn't allow him to build another because it was taking too much time from his daily chores. And that's how the fairytale came crashing to its end out here in this place we call the real world, now go get a job and stop being so nosey. Mind your own business.
Rigging looks like an afterthought. Shrouds are monstrous and get in the way of the bed sheet. The boat would be faster with a modern rig off a boat or cat or windsurfer. The idea is not new. Small Hobie cats in the 1960s had no keels or boards. Can't have much moment arm what keeps it upright? Will it self-right? Can a man fit through the hatch with a life jacket on?
Doubtful! This man knows what he's doing: look him up. He's circumnavigated many times before in similar boats that he designs and he builds himself. This man is a legend.

Sven- I appreciate you in vast ways..your the anticity of modest geniousness- gentle giant- grace- joy- wisdom- hero🎈
Brilliant nautical genius, artist, and maritime visionary...what a treasure for all those that care to dream...Thank You Sven!
Makes one think: "what will I be doing when I am 74?" This man is an inspiration to keep dreaming and doing.

so far Yrvind, may the gods of wind be with you (y)
Yrwind, I very much like your boats; they seem very well thought out, very safe and very practical.
I love this boat! Well done!
Congratulations for your work!!!! Good sailing.
It's beautiful. Den är så vacker. What serenity.
Very nice sailing pictures. Makes me want to go sailing aswell!
Pretty boat! :-)
She looks like the Beatles Yellow Submarine but I am sure it will stay on the surface!
Congratulations Mr Yrvind. I am sure she will be a succes. :-)

Fantastico !!!
Greetings from Greece, to Αρχιπέλαγος
I love your sailing philosophy!
Amazing little vessel
I like what you do with boats.
beautiful boat
What a inspiring man in this day and age. Can recommend his and Anders Öhman`s book : Med bris mot Kap Horn, out on Norstedts.
Den boktiteln kan jag tänka mig att du går loss på:)
David Janzen underbar bok Davith! pageturner av bästa sort.
Gotti gotti. I motsatts till "All is Lost" filmen då med Robert Redford.
Респектую мужик!
in the master cabin there's dolby surround sound and a really neat make up cabinet

um circumvented?
I know right... and the globe isn't even Jewish !
yes please tell me what the solopiano piece is. its well played, some good chords in it.
muito bom
nice music in the beginning
молодец, дедушка!
только почему у него нет стакселя?
Just wondered how it handles huge storms?
Was’nt that chine keel used on Thames barges hundreds of years ago?
seems to have a lot of leeway
people spending thousand of dollars for astronomic boat and sailing ⛵️………..this guy travel the world 🌍 with simplicity and cool invention !
Да, собирается. Здорово, правда?
so how is the balance with those funky lateral keelsons? seems like one would have to build it to perfect balance or it wouldn't work at all?
Mold the two parts, grind the heaviest one until it's equal to the lightest one. Easy. I think that's how he did it.
Why is all that rope in the water?
I'm very interested in these chine runners.
Скажи мне какая у тебя яхта и я скажу тебе кто ты! Герой!
Wonder why he didn't go with a longer mast. There has to be a reason.
Actually I mixed up his projects, I don't think the boat he will use for circumnavigation is completed yet...
Try Greg Howlett, Gospel piano
Wont the boat easily capsize with the chineboards? I'm thinking that the center of gravity is higher due to this.
I think we found it,w instructions
It´s called New Born.
how well does it point?
Cymon Cyrado It doesn't, shortly after the making of this video the boat went head on with a Volvo at a boat ramp. It was destroyed, the only thing salvageable was that weird cone thing on the back.

has he left yet?
yellow for rescue team...
What is the music?
It looks like without the keel or board it would slip sideways on a close hauled.
Yes, you can see its leeway when it passes in front of the anchored boat. Quite a lot of leeway. Maybe there's a big current?
All his boats are downwinders.
Why Yrvind uses always square sails?
I think it is because his philosophy is simplicity... he doesn't want complicated rigs which are difficult to repaired
Like MingMing without the junk sail.
...he should build Dixiklos
Sailing in a Yellow Submarine.
0:27 wtf did he say ?
этот дедушка собирается на лодочке потипе этой переплыть атлантику
Of course you want shallow draft when you cross the pacific...
What did you call the keel? And how does it work?
and again at ca 2:min

ANYONE KNOW OF ANY VIDEOS OF SVEN ON HIS TRANS ATLANTIC CROSSING IN THIS LITTLE BOAT?
dale3858 nope.
looks great but needs more sail. maybe a big inflatable boom powerkite
doesnt look very comfortble :P
He wont drown,, but he might starve to death
Doubtful! This man knows what he's doing: look him up. He's circumnavigated many times before in similar boats that he designs and he builds himself. This man is a legend.
I guess you can't sail to high seas with that boat, it looks very unstable.
Look up Sven Yrvind, he has sailed all over the world also with this one, still going strong at 82 building a new boat.
