He's kind of a legend, and seems to give interviews to anyone who runs into him. Here's a pretty good recent one and a tour of his boat: [VIDEO] His actual videos might be more interesting to someone with an interest in (unconventional) boat building.
I've been on a sailing kick recently, and think you'd like this vlog featuring Sven and one of his boats: [VIDEO] The sheer utility of every component of the craft is awesome.
Really appreciate that link, thanks. Hadn't heard of the guy before. Only started to explore his blog. I watched this video [1] to get an idea about the man and his boat design philosophy and it's very cool. [1] [VIDEO]
