    1. @noughtmeJan 2022· in “13 years sailing around the world”

      He's kind of a legend, and seems to give interviews to anyone who runs into him. Here's a pretty good recent one and a tour of his boat: this video His actual videos might be more interesting to someone with an interest in (unconventional) boat building.

    2. @oskaNov 2023· in “Is there anywhere in the world someone can just live for free?”

      Really appreciate that link, thanks. Hadn't heard of the guy before. Only started to explore his blog. I watched this video [1] to get an idea about the man and his boat design philosophy and it's very cool. [1] this video

    3. @jarrenaeJul 2022· in “Ask HN: What'd you do while HN was down?”

      I've been on a sailing kick recently, and think you'd like this vlog featuring Sven and one of his boats: this video The sheer utility of every component of the craft is awesome.
