"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.

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
