Don’t know if anyone has been to this site, but it is Sven’s own description for the building of his Bris-Sextant.
What I am most impressed with is his tenacity to build smaller craft to circumnavigate the higher latitudes. Would imagine even though he is Swedish, he means the Roaring Forties and Screaming Fifties of the lower half.
If he does the circumnavigation in the northern half up along the arctic circle and above, he is playing with real danger and that is possibly why his craft are more like life craft on a tanker or container ships.

Anyway, in case you’ve missed the post above is the website reference again.
All the best, and rising tides for all.
