BRIS I, 1971- 1983, Long 6.1 meter, 20’ Beam 1.72 meter
Yrvind introduces Bris l, built in 1971. With this boat, he spent 4 years on the Atlantic Ocean. He visited several of the most isolated islands in the world and was very close to round Cape Horn.
1971 I started to build a 20 feet dubble ender in my mothers back yard. True to Swedish tradition it did not take long before the town planner was there and asks me to take down what i had put up. “I will only build a small boat to sail to Brazil in” I said “What will happen if every one builds a small boat” he said angrily. “What will happen if every one becomes a town planner” I answered. That made him only more angry. I had to take down everything. When mother heard what had happend she said “Clean out the basement, drive the junk to the dump and build the boat there”
