"Simple habits. Simple boat." - Sven Yrvind
This multi award-winning film shines a light on the Swedish boat designer, builder and sailor, Sven Yrvind. During his life, he 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 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.
Showing at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei on Tuesday 8th October at 6pm as part of the Whangarei 2024 Maritime Festival.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
