[@pezpengy9308]

two years of sailing the entire planet and she's literally delivered to you so close you can touch it... talk about meant to be! :) CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

So happy for you guys.

[@towhitby1]

Are you gonna call it “Ran Faster”? Congratulations- she’s a beauty!

[@netpackrat]

Also Ran.

[@bking0220]

There cannot be a sweeter couple and now family on the ocean!

[@deeparks3112]

Malin at the wheel doing her "happy happy" dance said it all for me. Wishing you two and tiny crew member Vera a fantastic 2020 with the new RAN II. The boat is a beauty, I believe you've done well with the purchase.

[@Jolie_sailor]

Yey for Ran II. My girlfriend and I followed you guys since the 1st time you left your slip in sweden 2-3 yrs ago? We knew right away you guys were worth tuning into and you never disappointed. Hopefully you have Toronto in your future stops so we can buy you a drink. :) Best wishes and congrats on everything. Love the new boat.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks for watching all these years! 👍😃 Cheers!

[@davidb7328]

I couldn't agree more. I have been following this channel since the beginning as well, just from the other side of Lake Ontario, in Rochester! Congratulations on your new boat and new crew member. They both are beautiful. Looking forward to seeing your continued adventures in the new year. Take care. :)

[@AndreasDuessca]

Another hello from Toronto. If you ever make it here, and the Great Lakes make for amazing sailing during summer, come and visit us at the National Yacht Club. We’d be glad to host you guys.

[@soundbeings1]

Ditto from more Canucks (adopted) ! Come see the amazing South shore of Nova Scotia. White sandy beaches, great people and there will be beer!!! Congrats on the boat - can't go wrong with a Najad! Be safe and have a fab 2020. New baby, new boat, new adventures - does it get any better?

[@dabrte]

Would love to see Ran II in the great lakes! Make Ashtabula a stop if you do😍

[@tobiashommerich4581]

You’ve done a lot of things right in life and this boat is another hit. I love how you two-soon to be three- belong to each other and grant you this beautiful boat all the way. Best Regards from Germany

[@cathyt502]

I agree.

[@alcooper944]

Already three

[@tobiashommerich4581]

Al Cooper I know.

[@edrosenberger6947]

You two know far more about what kind of boat your family needs than any of us.....and I'm glad you feel good about your choice!!!

[@WaywardLifeSailing]

Awesome! she's beautiful! I can't wait to see the inside.

[@StanHirson]

I found this episode fascinating, much more so than I expected. I am looking forward to the design and building process! Thanks.

[@tommyedodson2412]

She's a beauty. Can't wait to see her on a full sail. Get the nursery ready.

[@ericsmith7232]

After watching all your videos my wife and I were so anxious to see this video and it didn't disappoint. Congratulations on RAN II. We are so happy for your 2 wonderful additions to the family. Your wonderful new daughter and your new home. Keep up the great videos!!!!

[@WaterFaucet24]

Great News ! Happy New Year !

[@whotknots]

I love Malin's mummy tummy. Parenthood is so exciting waiting to meet a brand new person who is part of both of you and teaching them all the things you have learned in life that you believe are worthwhile.

[@JustDon575]

Congratulations on your new yacht and home, she is beautiful! Many years of smooth sailing and raising you new crew!!

[@bgg4865]

Found myself grinning at your joy as much as you were yourselves...... couldn't happen to a more deserving or nicer couple than you two, or three as it is now. Looking forward to your new adventures with much anticipation.

[@heatherhodge1590]

Of COURSE, you're gonna make us wait for the full tour!😉 Congratulations on your new home! She's beautiful!

[@jonathanmeek9490]

I couldn’t be MORE happy for you both. New boat, baby and bountiful future ahead. We are right there with you!

[@Valden23]

Dear Johan and Malin (and Vera!) - it is a delight to watch how happy you are with, at first, the idea of buying this wonderful yacht and then the unbridled joy when it becomes clear that it really will be your new home and the platform for your adventures. I'm sure all of your followers are enjoying similar feelings of happiness, for you, but also in looking forward to seeing such a beautiful yacht being sailed in your upcoming adventures. Nicolas Broberg and the team at Najad will also be feeling very happy with the regular attention this iconic yacht maker will be receiving. I was quite sure you would be buying a Hallberg-Rassy or a Najad, ever since hearing you talk about them during a reunion trip to Sweden. I visited both builders last year, in part due to your clear regard for them. Well done, great choice and best wishes for your future. Regards, Rick.

[@larrymacaluso9051]

Just looking at the smile on Johans face tells you all you need to know about this boat, Malin, you seem to be doing very well in your present condition, it's just great to see your smile as well. Looking forward to the tour of the inside, from the outside she looks terrific and should provide many more adventures. It's great to see two people that compliment each other like you two, one can only wish you fair winds and safe travels and thanks for taking so many on your journey.

[@bobjoncas2814]

..CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW SAILING SHIP...LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING HER ON THE DEEP..

[@keakiwi1]

Congratulations on finding and purchasing RAN II. You have certainly "Turned the Corner". “May your joys be as deep as the oceans / Your troubles as light as its foam / And may you find sweet peace of mind / Wherever you may roam.”

[@randygilmour]

A great boat and the builder has a very good reputation for building solid, stable, seaworthy vessel. Congratulations on your purchase and the arrival of your beautiful daughter, Vera.

[@majesticmark6054]

Congratulations on your new boat. Seams like this was truly meant to be. Very happy for you three.

[@rjrfletcher2355]

The fact the right boat literally came to you was simply perfect !

[@ddouglas1653]

Happy wife, happy boat! New baby, new boat! I couldn't be happier for the THREE(Four including boat) of you! Fair winds!

[@rgildersleeve5479]

Wow, 2 special deliveries in one year, 2019 will be well remembered by at least 2 of the Lucky 3. Nice boat, especially like the helm location.

[@glennp5872]

A new life, a new boat and a new adventure with your daughter and boat. I wish your family well

[@ericlinthicum6868]

Congratulations! She is beautiful, strong and stout...Well done!

[@mrc1539]

Eric Linthicum , so is the boat ! LOL ! 😉 !

[@atir4u]

I’m sooooo happy for the both of you or the three of you!!! The boat is beautiful. Malin you really suffered during this pregnancy, your such a tough sailor woman. Glad it’s over now and the three of you can begin new adventures.

[@atir4u]

I also I like the back, I don’t know what you call it but the swim deck :)

[@paulpence8895]

Looks like she's been very meticulously cared for, congrats guys!!!

[@thomaswilkinson6276]

Time to stop calling her a boat, you now own a yacht. Beautiful baby, beautiful yacht, you are a lucky couple. Great way to start the New Year..

[@RANSailing]

😊 Thanks Thomas! Happy new year!

[@bobschimmel9411]

The new boat looks terrific. Can't wait to see the tour and sailing in open water. Congrats.

[@rjlundeen]

A very nice looking boat, like her lines. A new chapter in life, new boat, new baby. Congratulations.

[@fiziwig]

Can't wait to see more of the new boat/home.

[@yonatanbenavraham6598]

I have had surgery on each hand for carpel tunnel syndrome. Talk to your OB-GYN about taking Vitamin B-6. Only take it in the morning because it can keep you awake like drinking four cups of coffee but it will stop the pain in your hands and keep them from going numb at night. It will make a tremendous difference in your comfort overall. It is a vitamin you should only take 3 weeks out of every month so you don't take it for one week a month. I use it every day three weeks every month. I have never been pregnant so that is why I suggest you talk to your doctor but everyone I have told about it gets almost instant relief from the carpel tunnel syndrome after they take it for a few days. Be well and I wish you a complete healing and comfort soon.

[@AltMarc]

I also had surgery for the carpal tunnel, but it did not solve the issue, but then my chiropractor set my upper back straight and it solved the problem. Being pregnant change some weight "distribution" on the body and spine.

[@leepaulin8587]

Looks great, looking forward to seeing more including the interior and engine area. Congratulations on your purchase.

[@tomburton8239]

This reminds me of our search for a new boat about 20 years ago. We were looking for a Swan 42 and used all my Airmiles checking-out every one in Europe: Athens (x2), Trieste, Nice (x2), Palma (x3), Flensburg, Hamburg, and finally Stockholm. It was a very interesting winter... By then we knew exactly what to look for - and kept finding problems. After the Stockholm one, the local Nautor agent Ola Hallman, said “You’re planning to do a lot to get your 42 into shape, have you thought of a 43? That would have all those things done - but newer and more money. There’s a good one outside Helsinki”. We went to see it, and, yes, it was the one. We rushed the purchase (checking VAT was complicated) and managed to get the deal done before the summer season got going. Shifting all the boat gear from the UK to Helsinki was another story... But a month later we were sailing south into the Baltic - and 70,000nm together.

[@wadekotula2006]

Congratulations on the Najad 440 and your baby girl! Very exciting!

[@theyetirulrs]

Come on folks! Spread the word about this channel and let’s see if we can get them over 100k subs! Love your channel and just wanna say thank you for sharing your lives with us.

[@richardb.419]

I liked RAN a lot but this is also a Gorgeous Ship !!

[@operator0]

Except for that sweet aluminum hull, I never cared for the old RAN very much. This though, this is a great boat.

[@santamulligan676]

You only need the 343; is she ole enderlein his boats know exactly what to do out there, for layout I like the oyster 40sg, but the encapsulated keels a beauty,and naiads are so well fitted out, she should be quick enough to run from weather, insurance will be interesting. Great choice mum and dad

[@Earthlog]

Two new babies at once! Exciting times ahead! Congratulations!

[@idahobackpacker]

Congrats! She looks lovely! Welcome to the heavy-displacement center cockpit club!!!

[@jamesnguyen9033]

Fantastic! Can’t wait to see where you guys go next.

[@olumjumi]

A wonderful video, suspense and my smile almost broke my face when Malin did her happy dance. You once said Nice boat to me in the Vancouver harbour and I say it right back to you with a warmth in my heart to see two wonderful people sailing in a wonderful direction.

[@asdfdfggfd]

This is easily the most wholesome sailing channel.

[@Robb_K]

So true, refreshing.

[@FollowIntrepidBear]

Wow! Congratulations. As I mentioned before we have a Najad 391 and we love her. You’ll be very pleased with a Najad I have no doubt. Hope to catch up with you somewhere around the world one day. We’re in the UK but off full time cruising in 2021. Congrats again, great choice :-)

[@crdorado1195]

What a wonderful feeling to buy a new home!!!! That you can take anywhere you travel.

[@sandrarenwick1225]

Congrats can’t wait to see the big tour on your new home

[@rodhinds4592]

Perfect choice for long distance cruising / live aboard. Having a gentle motion at sea and steady at anchor equals less fatigue . I’m sure the 3 of you will be very happy . The fact it was delivered next door to you is significant.

[@henningsea6094]

Congratulations. She's a beautyful boat. Now the only thing left is to paint her grey😁.

[@ChristianCastleman]

Henning Sea yes

[@janvandenbosch3821]

Good decision Najad is all about quality ! Happy for you guys and congrats on the little girl.

[@richardsteele928]

I'm happy for the three of you, she looks like a beautiful boat.

[@bryonensminger7462]

I'm glad for the two of you to finally have your home sorted out , but we really haven't seen enough of the boat to form an opinion about it but you guys seem to know a lot about boats so if your happy I'm happy for you

[@tsunamidelta1351]

Congratulations on finding your new home! She's lovely, and just right for your baby to grow up on. Blessings for the upcoming New Year.

[@robertlee8042]

Your videos are not fancy, which is good. And they are intimate, well photographed, relaxed, interesting and informative. They impart a sense that we are with you. Much more so than other sailing videos. I guess a better way to say it is that there is not a superfluous amount of cinematic action but a lot of engaging the viewer in your everyday decision making as you encounter everyday situations.

[@Taugtaug]

A very nice boat and with the moderate long keel, the right choice for your family. Not as fast as RAN, but she will be much more comfortable in heavy weather. :-) The big Classic Boat was also cool, but would cost a lot and sail slow..

[@ronschwolsky1626]

She's a beauty. Congratulations!

[@davidlegault9745]

Congratulations on your new home. RAN is a great name but VERA would also be great. Perhaps sailing with Vera???

[@rabukan5842]

A beauty, worth waiting for!

[@frodehartviksen]

So happy for you, have a happy new year and take care.. Greetings from Norway :)) Love your channel

[@sailingmistral685]

Congratulations to this Boat! This is the right one, not because it´s swedish but it´s seaworthy, long lasting and hopefully big enough for your needs. We´re looking forward to watch new sailing reports from all around the world from you. Born to sail! Best wishes from Germany.

[@stevesheller9223]

I couldn’t be happier for all 3 of you-- yes --- Vera has arrived. Love the colors and condition, boat appears to be very well taken care of. The look on Johans face is priceless, a very happy man, father and husband. Congratulations. Within 6 months you two will have it all set up the way you want it and it will truly be your new home. No, it’s not a Nordhavn 78, but, when Kai finds out that you two are the new owners I’m sure he will be very, very happy. His face will truly light up. All the best to you, your baby, and your new boat. 👍👍👍

[@kmurray96]

Congratulations on your new boat. I hope it brings you years of enjoyment and memories. Fair winds and red skies at night, kids.

[@cathytodd3996]

Great decision and a safe and solid home for your new family. I'm biased because we own a Najad 400! Hope to see you out on the water someday. Best wishes xxx

[@judd_s5643]

Very happy for you guys!

[@MVAmmonite]

RAN Sailing That had ben amazing! Let’s see if we can manage that!

[@marksalminen7050]

The look of joy on both your faces had me smiling through the whole video. Congratulations. I hope all goes well with your little girl as well..

[@shaneprice7590]

Fair winds and following seas to you as you continue your adventures and inspire the rest of us to emulate your magnificent achievements. God Bless RAN II, and all who sail in her.

[@danieloliver20]

Ran2 looks to be a perfect choice for you and your growing family. When i first saw the bow thruster in action, I thought if the rest of the boat is like that, it's gotta be a great boat! Happy New Year to you three!

[@cameronurquhart1515]

I'm nit a sailor but I really enjoy watching you two - (now three). I have binge watched your videos from the beginning and really enjoy how you tell your storey. I can't wait to see an episode on the inside of the new Ran and your plans for any upgrades etc. Congrats on the birth of your baby girl. She is very lucky to have parents who will provide her with many adventures and lots of love. Cheers from Australia.

[@dwdtube1111]

Congratulations! That was an easy one. Good luck and all the best for 2020. Be blessed and be safe.

[@Matt-bj6cy]

Congratulations on the boat. She is beautiful on the outside. So excited to see the video of the inside and all the features. I can't wait also to see you resume your sailing, and continue around the world. New crew member, new boat, 2019 was a great year for you and us to share with you. The future has so much for you three. Again thanks for letting us be a part of your lives.

[@michaelch5060]

Congratulations, she is a beautiful boat!

[@darellgroves1506]

I like it. Congrats, and ENJOY. Lots of room for a new born to grow up in, plus the fun. Good thoughts and PRAYERS !

Congratulations! Merry Christmas and have a happy new year. You both had beautiful smiles on your faces from ear to ear after the survey. Great video.

[@Jackanory222]

Awesome choice.........the quality of the boat just jumps out of the screen. Just love all the Scandinavian boats.

She’s a real beauty! Congratulations, and looking forward to the tour.

Congrats on your baby girl Vera and your new sailboat RAN-II, Najad 440! I am sure you did the right thing, selecting this boat, it looks strong, safe and powerful. It will be fun watching your adventures in 2020 and onwards. I have followed you from beginning on RAN, so my best wishes and Happy New Year!

[@edwardmassengale7988]

Beautiful yacht, congratulations. Blessings for the new year to you three, and thank you for the videos.

She has seen the deep blue... she is tested. What a wonderful find, congratulations!

[@johnboone2581]

Congratulations on the new boat, can’t wait for tour and see you back on the water with the new crew member 👍

[@mrwattsclass107]

Huge congratulations from Vancouver BC. RAN II was meant to be. My partner and I have followed the two of you since the beginning and feel a close connection to the way you roll on this planet. Enjoy the dark months of January and February on your cozy new boat/home. We can't wait to see the three of you sailing in the new year. ♥️

[@RohanTheBT]

Congratulations on the new boat. I’ve been suggesting/predicting an HR right from the beginning so the Najad is an equally good choice!

[@highvibe4839]

Hello, another baby delivered, two in one year! Juan can’t get the smile of his face! Congratulations to you both! Malin, I hope your body is feeling better now that Vera is in your arms, you’ve been such a trooper throughout your pregnancy 🤰, be well you three, can’t wait for the tour! ⛵️🎄🇦🇺

[@rowlandhardwick3543]

Been watching you guys from day one. So chuffed for you, great boat. Wishing you three a Happy New Year. Take care.

[@leeh.4453]

New boat, new baby girl. Two young ladies joining your family. How cool is that?

[@RohanTheBT]

I have to say when I saw the first lifting crane I foresaw an epic ‘fail’. I would have refused to have even the HR31 I used own lifted but such a small crane

[@RANSailing]

Haha! The crane on the truck wasn’t for us, it just happened to be there. It would definitely would had been a disaster trying to haul her out with that one! 😬 Cheers!

[@philgray1023]

When the crane driver needs a calculator to divide 600 by 2, you know you have the wrong crane. That was our experience.

[@abdelhakimbenbachir3893]

Very nice boat
