"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.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
