21 October 2022. Yrvind offshore with Exlex.

[@SvenYrvindExlex]

I spent 150 days in her on the northern North Atlantic, starting in Ålesund Norway sailing west north of the Faroe Island then south between Iceland and Faroe west of Scotland and Ireland arriving at Horta Azores after 78 days then to Porto Santo then returning to Horta then to Ireland. Now a new boat is under building.

[@donnakawana]

Can't wait to see your new vessel Sven....

[@theogdirkdiggler]

It's incredible that you can fit your giant balls in that little boat!

[@jimj2683]

When you sail so much, you are playing a numbers game with nature. Eventually you will meet a rogue wave with your name written on it. Is your boat capable of surviving a freak wave?

[@hogfishmaximussailing5208]

Sven, you are a inspiration. I plan on leaving the comfortable velvet handcuffs of modern life soon. I’ll loose $$$ stepping of the merry-go-round early but no $$$ can replace the dream of at least attempting a Circumnavigation of our planet on a small sailboat.

G,day Yrvind, hope you're well. I've many thousand hours of sea time on many different vessels. Your vessels are brilliant designs, you remind me of an Albatross. I get a very real sense of the elements aboard your vessel, the greater sense being of a great confidence and definite security. The way she rides easily over the top of the seas and rising swell, excellent. Very exciting adventures you know. All the best regards from here on the West Coast side of Australia 🌏 Batavia Coast 🙏🖖🤟 . P.S, Thor Heyerdahl must have felt very certain in the presence of your accomplishments.

Hello Sven, I was just watching a Sam Holmes video of him in, I think it was, South Hampton England at a boat show. He said there's all kinds of options for electric outboards. By the time you leave on your "ice cream" trip there may be something that will work for you.

In Dutch we call that a "stoere man" and stoer means brave, not large. A ship is as good as the crew is, so, this skipper is doing pretty well.

[@SvenYrvindExlex]

I do not even notice that the boat is mowing when at sea. Now watching the video tells me that there is waves out there and that they nove the boat. The first few days one gets tired becouse the body is not used to the movements but it soon adapts.

[@DejaVudoo13]

How do you handle the moisture build up inside your vessel?

[@SvenYrvindExlex]

It was a problem and a lesson. There where a few thermal bridges for and aft and condensed water was dripping all the time causing mildew. The lesson is learnt, this boat will take care of the problems elimating the thermal bridges with better insulation.

@@SvenYrvindExlex Collected condensed water should be good for drinking.

What is the purpose of the knotted ropes hanging from the ends of the booms? I really enjoy these "At Sea" videos. They're about the only place you can get an idea of what it feels like to be in the open ocean in a very small boat.

Those were some nasty looking hatch cover battens. How many times did you bump them with your head or your back. Looks by your compass that the boat held course pretty well. Thanks for posting your open sea video. I haven't seen it before and it's very interesting. When you first saw the Pilot Whales did you think they were Orcas?

[@SvenYrvindExlex]

I newer bumpt. It is fascinating watching how the boat keeps such a good course with no windwane or autopilot just by balancing the sails. Its a bit like magic, like as if the boat did have her own spirit.
