“Simple habits. Simple boat.” – Sven Yrvind

 This multi award-winning documentary shines a light on the Swedish boat designer, builder and sailor, Sven Yrvind. During his life, Sven has become a world-renowned figure for his solo voyages across oceans.

Now 83, Sven has, for the last five years, been building a boat for himself for a solo journey spanning 15,000 miles from Ireland to New Zealand. It is estimated to take 300 days.

But for Sven, the real exploration of this journey is of a much deeper nature; about how people choose to live their lives.

This is the first screening of this film in NZ!

Showing at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei as part of the Whangarei 2024 Maritime Festival.
