Building stairs and preparations - Ep. 402 RAN Sailing

[@marktcoleman]

We have been patrons for years and my wife surprised me with a RAN Sailing tshirt for father's day. She said she joined as a patron again to order the shirt without me knowing about it, so now we are double patrons!. Great to watch the boat and Vera growing up each week.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks for watching and supporting for so long! 😊👍 We hope you’re happy with the shirt. Cheers! Johan, Malin & Vera

[@franktadley1810]

I am rating this project 5+ Strawberries!!!

[@herbertocobock9436]

I can't believe I've watched 402 episodes of this adventure. Still here. Great documentation throughout.

[@thesophiagibson]

us 2 in Scotland ❤

[@CaptRobH]

And from the Netherlands as well 😊

[@oregon1232]

And West coast USA 🍓

[@KenDavies-qv3fs]

I started my first boat building yard in the late 1960's when FG was not widely used or accepted. Over the years I build and rebuilt many wooden boats in Canada. Now, in my 80's, it is fun watching people like you two. It is worth every minute to get it right or you will kick yourself in the butt if you don't. Good Luck

[@boomerangfishact6754]

Inch for inch this ship is crawling its way into the sea! What a wonderful project! Five strawberries for all the work! 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓

[@alexpe71]

With each video Malin’s editing skills get better and so do Johan’s carpentry skills. I discovered this channel a week ago and I’m addicted. Love the storyline, the family and I’m fascinated by the project. So much admiration for your discipline and hard work. Kudos.

[@rb6662]

Start at the beginning there is so much wonderful content, lovely people

[@bertplank9892]

Malin needs to invest in higher quality camera gear.....some shots are too grainy revealing the limitation of the current gear.

[@guyerj]

I am very privileged to be joining you in this journey. Just as addictive as the very beautiful Tally Ho project. My very best to you.

[@judsonquiaoit8256]

Johan I'm aware that many geniuses don't like to be called as such ,so I'll just describe you as being exceptionally talented, diligent, resourceful and persevering . Love the love and care that you show the farm...

[@arkansasboy45]

I remember eating out of the garden when I was a kid some 50 years ago. I miss those days. It is nice to see you teaching Vera how to garden.

[@MikeC19100]

The new archway, platform, and steps look great. This is just my interest, but each week you could add a word or phrase of your home language to help us learn a little about your language while we watch the videos. It could be a simple word or even a phrase related to what you are doing in the episode. It's a simple way to share your cultural language since you already know the English language so well. Just a thought...

[@michaelgillespie6526]

Thank you for your lovely channel. Always a treat to my day. Cheers from BC 🇨🇦

[@mlo5083]

May I suggest a light ‘reminder’ rail at top of stairs. Sides upto you. One day you are going to be tired and deep in thought and walk right off the step. I have the scars.

[@davidnichols147]

Johann, your a wizard carpenter. When I first started to view this episode I thought to myself, "shouldn't be to difficult, constructing stairs for the transom"? Your professionalism is truly a marvel!

[@Rennrogue]

I like the idea of doing the bow section last. Doing the hardest part after getting used to working the glass on the inside of the hull should make it easier. Also, I wish every child could grow up with a kitchen garden. I'm glad yours gets that experience.

[@Buzzcook]

It takes me a couple days of planing then a day of work to build a 3 strawberry set of steps.

[@VictoriaWargaming]

my friday at work lunchtime viewing. been great watching everything from the antartica videos through to today.

[@ffgaivota]

To see your videos every friday is becoming a vice. Thank you for sharing the building of your boat, step by step. Great job!!

[@chhindz]

I was renting a garage, the owner had vegetable garden I asked him how he liked the peas crop, he said good but the yield was low. I had to confess I had eaten a couple dozen of them, delicious.

[@oregon1232]

LOL 😋

[@theflyingfool]

Wow! Vera's growing like a weed and your boat is looking very good indeed and I'm surprised how big it is :D

[@snoosebaum995]

your rational creative lives are a pleasure in todays insane world

[@hanfordcreek5309]

I’m an old sailor, gruff and cynical….but that scene on the steps with Vera was adorable.

[@darryl-ym2cr]

I'll give this episode 5 strawberries 🍓.

[@doppler3237]

my god we love your daughter, she is a gift to you. I should know I was given one too

[@sunline24]

I really enjoy when you speak in your native tongue. It is a beautiful sounding language. It also sounds like Vera is learning some English.

[@nigelmorgan3449]

Johan’s,Malin and Vera you are doing a fantastic job on the yacht I know little Vera is young but she’s leaning about the build every day whilst not at school or eating fresh strawberries. I look forward to see the build every week and thank you for sharing Mandurah south of Perth west Australia

[@allsearpw3829]

Hi , amazing work you are al doing on the construction on the hull and your farm garden . 😉👍👍👍

[@dougheizenrader2280]

Definitely a five strawberry job! As usual, we’ll done 👍 P.S.: I love the long handle disc sander. That’s a new one for me.

[@ryanolson523]

I'd give those temporary stairs at least 6 strawberries, lol! A true craftsman at work!

[@SteveButterworth-n9m]

5 strawberries…easy , with cream on the top!

[@geekdomo]

watching you build those steps is a thing of beauty. I only know how to buy the stringers already made. Well done

[@petriepretorius4085]

Johan, is a Man that knows what he is doing... You people are so creative, hard working, constructive, insightful, and inspiring... Yes, five compliments to match the five strawberries for the people who builds a house that can change its views... You people! If i had a lot of money i would buy Johan tools and equipment!!! 😊

[@dougmonroe3381]

Once again, Johan, your master carpentry skills come to the fore (i.e., make themselves visible) -- "5-out-of-5 Strawberries and a thumbs up!" 😉👍

[@normanboyes4983]

Always such a pleasure to see the progress on the boat, in the garden and of course to see how Vera progresses too - definitely five strawberries.😀⛵️👍

[@dougsrepair1060]

Summertime in the countryside. What could be better.

[@philmay113]

Very well thought out,steps to go in and out and to see all the planning that goes into it all. It will be a huge boat when its done and you'll know every bit of it,much respect to you both, from the old Englishman.

[@jacquelynjones6364]

I give this video 5/5 strawberries! Waving hello from 🇨🇦

[@HopeOfJoe]

What a wonderfully lovely episode 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Full of great hull work, great family time, and gardening. Only way it gets better is somewhere at some atoll in the South Pacific. 😊 See you next time. ✨🌊💨⛵️🏝️👙🌞✨

[@windonwater3895]

Malin. My friend Joan is a master gardener here in Pennsylvania (US). She plants purple hyacinth beans at the base and they grow up and over the entire arbor every year. They grown very large (10-12") purple beans that are very showy. Clematis can be very nice plants but they are sometimes a little harder to grow. If they do well, great. If not, you might want to give the beans a try. Note that they are annuals. Johan - you are doing a great job too!! Love Vera! Ron

[@mapsman5513]

Such a joy to see more of life on the farm and how the kitchen garden is progressing.

[@mmacas7411]

You are masters of prep work and with garden upgrades at the same pace, you are the most unique and inspiring sailing U tubers.

[@brieneaton8578]

Canada here. Been following from the beginning. Retired renovation carpenter. Love your work. Now, kid and adult size hand rails for the steps and platform . Before the safety inspector shows up and shuts you down. LOL.

[@tomkaufer5327]

Johan is a very skilled craftsman and the project is 5++ strawberries!

[@forrestwebb6182]

I watch your channel every time I need inspiration for my projects. You guys are so productive and hard-working. For most people, building the steps to access your hull would be a large project!! I'm sure I missed it in a previous episode, but could you tell me in which episode you explain the transom details, and why you are leaving that for later? Thanks for your awesome videos!

[@DimiterChristovSenior-ge7rq]

Try laminating from the inside through one layer. Thus, after they have hardened, you will have access from both sides for the intermediate layers

[@maxcapax]

I have watched them all. You invest so much time and money into this project. I'm asking myself, if I would not rather have settled with an older boat, which would definitely not have been the ocean-going yacht of my dreams, but it would have been more affordable and available on the spot. Your newbuilding ages while still under construction - and so do you. Will you still be committed to ocean travel once the building is complete? I enjoy to see your progress and I appreciate your dedication. I have learnt a lot and I can't wait to follow you on your next ocean adventures. Thank you für many well-wasted hours on KZbin. They were worth it.

[@meinmaine9138]

Those stairs are most definitely 🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓

[@DaleShirley-o1u]

Your portal is very lovely nicer than store bought!❤

[@freedomrider30]

Year after year your vids/production is 100% entertaining to me!!! A+ guys!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎

[@dchiffy]

Another day of the Unbelievable project. Thanks for sharing

[@douglasmcbride5572]

So enjoyable to watch. 👏👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥸

[@robinhodgkinson]

I think I get these videos at the ideal time. Saturday morning breakfast. A great intro to a chill weekend watching a fellow boat builder. Yes chill weekend - I finished mine a while back.

[@HellyWelly93]

I love the kitchen garden as much as the boat build!

[@pkane5472]

See you next week! Vera - so cute!

[@JakobEngl]

Great video

[@sjurgabriel]

Friday - RAN, SV Delos, Uma. The weekend has started. A treat every time :-) I love how you involve us in the structural design. God sommer!

[@netheroisoldcoder]

Очень круто получилось, успехов вам

[@paraweir]

She's looking lovely...

[@ehofman7636]

Very nice stairs end platform en a nice entry for the garden👌👌

[@bengt_axle]

Fem jordgubbar! 🇨🇦

[@thomashenriksson5091]

Tack!

[@oreilly1237878]

Wonderfull project,now you can actually see the fruits of your labours.Well done.

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓, with whipcreme on top, for the steps and archway. Thanks for sharing.

[@ElleKendra]

So methodical, so steady, so much attention to every detail. Just awesome.

[@robertlaird6746]

I have an old hay rack just like yours that I use as a yard art on my property and a wagon like yours as well. I really like having things like that around because it looks good.

[@billlambert2092]

Using composite staples will keep those heavy sections of saturated cloth from slipping so much.

[@tymanot]

So much planning. Your boat will be a beauty.

[@kerrymettert8962]

It was cool to see Vera speaking a little bit of English. She is growing up right in front of my eyes. You seem to balance the boat build with family time, house and gardening. Cheers to all that you do and I wish you well as things continue along. 😎

[@dleenes]

Thank you for the Video. Good explantations und good craftmanship. Love your Videos and your Family-Team-Vibes

[@einarquay]

Boats are like space ships. The amount of time to build one is 4x the time to build a house. They are precious, like the people who sail them, because one a percentage of population base boat builders and sailers are less than one one hundredths of any population. On another topic, it might be interesting to learn why you two can build things. What prepared you to build a 15 metre boat?

[@kayweiss1862]

congratulations . your family adventure ,courage and skills are impressive/inspiring ,especially the flipping of your boat ! sharing of 3 thoughts on your boat build and safety : 1.having experienced serious storms myself ,I strongly recommend to prepare and install a largely overbuild anchoring system ,as efficient and safe as you can make it ,going far beyond common recommendation . 2. casual break ins are likely to increase : make all entry points as secure as possible 3. unusual ,but worthwhile to investigate : instead of normal mast configuration ,creating a super strong tabernacle ,extra long to have more connection points of tabernacle and mast and to have the boom hanging from tabernacle directly . that seals any leakage of water at mast into the boat ,allows easier emergency mast set up and with boom and mast rest ,can easily lower and realign mast at any wished for time in a controlled way. that allows you easy access to rivers and lakes below bridges and thereby as well storm emergency hide outs ,you would otherwise not have access to .

[@juliedouglas2888]

Great job Guys well done.

[@EK-px1cu]

The corners on the rear temporary frame can also be cut off for convenience and safety. they geometrically do not affect the rigidity of the structure

[@MrPaulcm1]

That looks great for the garden. Nice stairs, so much easier for access. Love the vlog :)

[@FRkiddo]

Thanks

[@hanstinekevangorcum9718]

Love how the garden and boat are going along. Have a good weekend.

[@guymanges3628]

Thank you RAN for 402...

[@hjarbkungdomsafdelingen9756]

jeg venter meget på næste film i er bare så gode alle 3 , så fint i udfører alting .håber alt er vel hilsen ole

[@petegraham1458]

Love the garden!

[@DaleShirley-o1u]

Another lovely video!

[@jakobtheinventor]

Remember the handrails around the stairs and entrance area...from experience I know that accidents happen when you are tired and miss a step. Great progress 😊

[@thebasementscientist9079]

Wow, just watched the entire RAN III building series. Great job building the hull. There's nothing like old growth timber. Glad you found that cedar.

[@andrewjames7616]

Thankyou👍

[@dalebuckley6073]

Nice stairs

[@everydayeverything]

In Europe on vacation and was so confused when I wasn’t seeing the Friday instalment. Obviously I’ve been used to your posts in the North American time zone 😅

[@daversj]

You’re really giving that Mirka sander a good test. I love mine with the 5mm stroke and aggressive grit it can sand fast but still light and comfortable. Many people have said the Mirka are unreliable and break. Mine still works great after 5 years of light commercial use.

[@angelramoncordootero4800]

Bravo …👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻

[@williamnicol2779]

Johan Great job on the stairs, you are so talented with all your skills. Bill Niagara Falls,Canada

[@Matt-e4x]

Glad you built the stairs!

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Little miss cheeky face is growing like sweet peas and Honeysuckles in all the rain we've been getting.

[@ronaldwarren5220]

Vera looks like a Viking princess!

[@stevenwarner7348]

What a beautiful garden !

[@davejames1452]

Thanks for sharing 😊

[@petercaseybrick]

i was thinking a strap underneath the back of the boat and up the sides to a point in the roof then had another strap a third of the way up the strap to the roof and this will give you strength as well as easy access into the boat.just a thought guys.

[@aserta]

9:04 probably would be easy to just build an exterior frame at the end that's tied to the stairs. Then you can remove all the bracing inside. An old quick and dirty boat repair trick i saw years ago was to take plywood (as thick as you can get it, where it bends with ease on the shape of the hull), take some wood strips (something like 30x4x2 cm) and screw them in (on the end) every 20 cm. Then you'd put a plank on the floor and using wood strips like the one you're holding in your hand at the timed index, connect the "rays" that result from bending the half-a-ladder unto the frame of the boat to the plank below resulting in a quick and very simple to make boat support. I've seen this used in a wooden fishing boat refit, where the tide had smacked the boat unto the peer and cracked the hull. They were out and in under 48 hours. Probably the fastest repair i'd seen, mostly thanks to the old salt being an absolute genius of jigs and angle cuts and all the required knowledge of seamless repairing of wood.

[@jaymarlin3565]

BRILLIANT..!

[@boooshes]

Clematis vine is invasive here in Maryland and Virginia. My mother fought it for decades trying to remove it from our fig trees. It was a never ending battle. The clematis is still here, Mom is now gone.

[@edwardhazelden6424]

I used rebars to make pyramids in a garden for roses and creepers to grow up and around

[@Neptune730]

Vera is such a cutie!!! Keep up the good work on the boat.

[@gregsutton2400]

Great work!
