I look forward to these videos every Friday

[@RANSailing]

Thanks for watching them! 😀

[@patrickmorrow8753]

Thanks for explaining the interior boat layout. I guess I missed when you did it before. I always enjoy your videos. I have been watching for years.

[@leonbroekx]

I guess this doesn't sound nice, but I look forward to them working instead of talking or going on trips. How old do these people want to be when they finally get the boat in the water?

[@eriklarsson3188]

@@leonbroekx It's a massive project for sure, at the same time you also need to have a life outside of the boat-build. If not you'd be jeopardizing not just your relationship but your health, you could easily burn out during a project like this if you don't pace yourself and allow yourself to do other things in-between to help recharge.

[@RoyClare]

@@leonbroekxyou guess right. As my granny taught me - if you haven’t anything positive to say, don’t say it.

[@TheDanielsherer]

It was good to get the update on the interior layout, especially your thoughts on safety and "livability".

[@Abeynmrl]

I received my Ran Sailing shirt and love it! So many people have asked me about it and enjoy hearing about your story….”there is a young Swedish couple whom I once met in Seattle and they are building this boat…”. I hope they tune in to your channel and join the crew!

[@McTroyd]

Love the idea of a separate engineering space with a bench! Fix anything at a moment's notice, even while underway, without (usually) tearing up the interior. Genius. 👍

[@papamarkw]

Johan, you filled many of the details. I really enjoyed the insight you provided. It makes your build even more interesting as your plan becomes a reality.

[@pierrefiore6933]

...you guys are probably the bravest builders on youtube...amazing size for 'amateur' home built

[@mp6756]

It's a very thoughtful layout. Having the ability to edit the smallest of detail and design choice makes one thing clear. You will never own another production boat. This was a great walk through video thanks

[@TheThreebucks]

Friday for me is Lunch with the Ran crew! Looks good! Glad you’ve been getting more followers, you deserve 1 million!

[@iainphilip8818]

Apart from the exciting boat build I would like to congratulate (you both) on the excellent English and relaxed spoken delivery. Rather complicated matters are made clear and easy to understand.

[@paraweir]

Great design. Everybody likes, what's and has different needs, these were yours. Good for you...

[@FromThePrairies]

Really interesting to see you and several other channels who are in the middle of a build or rebuild emphasizing safety and the livability. So many common themes like utility rooms, etc.

[@forrestwebb6182]

Thanks for the virtual tour! Really cool to see how everything is going to lay out. It's going to be a really great space down below, and the raised salon is going to be amazing!

[@davidnichols147]

Absolutely breathtaking, love the raised saloon and galley design. Vera's pictured at the helm was delightful. Thanks for the update!

[@howardspruit3994]

I have designed and built several successful sail boats and been actively involved in the Bill Lee Santa Cruz ULDB scene. AND I think your design is PERFECT, I really like the raised observation area And your keel design philosophy I know the work is hard but your going to love it!!! Sincerely, Howard Spruit

[@Toffie10]

I like the deckhouse design!

[@james5796]

Loved the boat design and discussion thanks

[@arbekaswashbucklers9592]

It’s looking so good and it still amazes me you are building a huge sailboat. Really neat to see the process!

[@Sarasdad91]

It is so great to see you've done so well in your building this boat. You've come so far, just can't wait to see you building the bulkheads and installing everything else, plus see her put in the water.

[@bluesifer8238]

I really look forward to seeing your progress, and although there was no actual progress in this chapter I enjoyed it even more because I kind of now understand your dream more. Thanks and fair winds going forward.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the video. 😊

[@user-rr8vk1qp5b]

It's very interesting to see in detail the layout of the interior. Thank you for the information.😊

[@guymanges3628]

Thank you Johann for RAN 405...

[@oscarw9889]

Great explanation of your design philosophy . Your boat, your design and it looks like your sailing experience is of great influence in that regard. The watertight rudder compartment is an excellent idea as quite a few boats have sunk due to rudder failures. I am shocked not more boats have that to be honest.. Then again, many boats are glorified marina queens and not blue water boats by design.

[@ascott6804]

OMG this is gonna be a beautiful ship!!!

[@macmcdonald9347]

Thank you for OJT it helps to not only know the WHAT but also the Why. Again thanks.

[@bchdsailor]

A bit like Duracell layout now, you guys should meet up to share ideas 😉 It looks well thought of and still enjoying following your voyage to a finished vessel

[@bengt_axle]

Vera has changed so much in just a few years!

[@meinmaine9138]

Love this so much! It is exciting to see the plans and then you are literally walking through-inside the boat to bring them to life. Wow. Truly a remarkable project.

[@Moftoo]

I like the design, the interior design reminds me of some of the things that I like about a german yacht maker - Sirius Yachts.

[@RANSailing]

Great boats! I wonder what they could have done with a 50ft hull. Cheers!

[@americanbornwalkaway9110]

OHHH BOY Getting CLOSER AND CLOSER!!!!!! GOD Bless and Keep up the AMAZING GOOD Work

[@stevenweiss9124]

That interior plan looks very functional and comfortable. One thing we did on many Hinckley interiors was to use large radius - (about 35 cm) - laminated bulkheads on interior corners. The forward inboard corner of the master head compartment looks like it might benefit from one of these. It's remarkable how much the feeling of space increases by knocking off a square-ish corner where it's not needed.

[@ThomasCurran-wj9nx]

I like how you designed the inside of your boat with different and separate departments.

[@adam8642]

I love the thought put into the design process. All built on your lived experience.

[@VictoriaWargaming]

With the rudder compartment it seems like you're planning for transiting to the med and surviving the Orcas :) Hope to see you around Vancouver Island.

[@RANSailing]

Yes, that’s definitely something to think about nowadays when sailing in Portuguese waters. 😬

[@CaptainG-xs3yo]

One of your best videos. I like how you described the trade offs between different designs. 👍🌎⛵

[@RANSailing]

We’re glad you liked it 😊

[@nigellucas560]

Just amazing to see how one man can turn an idea into a thing. Most people stop at the dreaming, few have the drive to go through that point.

[@haighaj]

Great walk through and a good description of all your choices! Can't wait to see the build progress!

[@donb4386]

Few of us will ever get to personalize the design of a boat specifically for our family. This is a tremendous opportunity for you. It’s fun for the rest of us to watch it evolve. I am curious how this time spent boat building will impact your future sailing adventures. I’d be very surprised if once the boat is done and ready to sail if you’ll sell the house and move onto the boat full time as before. You’ve established some roots on land, Vera is growing up and will have her own routines and her own friends. I can’t imagine forsaking all that for the nomadic lifestyle you once enjoyed. I’m looking forward to what your land/sea hybrid lifestyle will be. Of course that’s years down the road and you have lots more glassing, fairing and sanding to do before then. :-)

[@iznasen]

I send you a "Baz!" from Morocco! Well done!

[@LostYogi]

I know it's still a long way, but man I'm looking forward to seeing it on the water❤

[@pling2]

From what I've read of the Orca attacks a very good idea for the rudder to be behind a bulkhead or enclosed so that it doesn't sink the boat.

[@arkansasboy45]

It sounds like you two have thought out your plan very well. It is going to be interesting to see it all come together.

[@koningbolo4700]

Designing my long wheel base camper van conversion I had a similar dance with ergonomics, equipment sizes, practicality, flow and material availability. The planning stage of any build is important but not as sacred as one might think. Things chance as the build progresses, new insights, new ideas and other ways of thinking, a change of heart of the significant other throw spanners in the works to various degrees. The process is enjoyable though for the most part, although some things get done twice... and some even more times. But you know the saying: "We did it right because we did it twice."

[@user-ml6bn2qo5s]

Smart decisions as expected from this very smart couple. One thing to consider is the flat bottom. It creates a rather flat bilge and water tends to get stuck in the low recesses away from any sump. My sailboat has some areas that collect water, so I wet vac them occassionaly to prevent odors. A central vac that can handle water would make a very useful tool for this job as well as make normal cleaning easier. Garage type wet vacs have large motors and small tanks and take up very little room.

[@smokindauberdoo4208]

Looking GUUUUD 🎉🙏😇👍👍

[@HopeOfJoe]

This is going to be a real pretty home on the water. 😊

[@user-bc7gc5wr3n]

Appreciate your time and explanation Hi to Vera and the misses

[@ralphfolden3273]

I really like your design😃😃😃

[@glenntaylor5638]

every stage is a stage closer; onwards and upwards!

[@vivanasperen3339]

Having watertight sections of the boat for any water incursion would be very good to do. Sealed hatches etc. boat is looking great!

[@scotttan6377]

It's going to be one cool yet functional boat once all completed . A reliable HVAC system is a must ( imho ) . May add to the resale value or at the very least have it all plumbed for one.

[@roxyknight4909]

Great thought in the design. Not sinking is definitely a priority, water tight bulkheads are great safety idea.

[@graceybfrg]

So damn happy you are not going the multi hull route like so many other content creators. So much more life in mono hulls! 🙌🏻

[@bendaves77]

Really excited to see the build out of the interior on ran 3..

[@richardpalma6791]

You did a great job explaining your thoughts about the boat design As a landlubber I found this video very interesting 😎

[@danwong731]

I’ve been watching the Duracel project for over a year now… and now I have a show for Friday! Love your work. Super exciting project.

[@ChrisHolman]

Great design, especially having a water tight bulkhead for the rutter.

[@RedZone395]

I really love the design, i can see the benefits of a lot of your design choices, and i really like the idea of a deck salon, reminds me of the design in the Danish Nordship vessels.

[@allsearpw3829]

Hi, great work and a lot of thought you have all put in .

[@earlsnapp5209]

I really appreciated the walk-thru and design features. Thanks

[@johnfolsomjr]

This is going to be such an amazing boat! It's interesting to see that you guys as well as Dan on Uma have both decided that you don't need access to the foot of the bed - love this sort of creative design

[@kristaready8812]

Looks like you made some fantastic changes. Can't wait to see it coming together 🤗💞

[@davep5788]

Thanks for the update. It looks really good.

[@dchiffy]

Another great chapter. Some good thinking, looks great and functional Thank you

[@michaeldelaney7271]

Thanks for the review of the design. It looks like a clever layout to me.

[@stever2583]

I love how the clamps in the background look similar to Nordic Runes!

[@markchodroff250]

Thank you , first time I seen the layout, looks good and because you had boats in the pass and lived on them you can now see what you need and want !

[@davidcox8961]

Wow !! What an enormous interior. It'll make a great liveaboard.

[@lydiaajohnson]

Looks like a great live aboard design. I’d like something like that for myself.

[@gregsutton2400]

Thanks for the update, the video of Vera as a 2? year old was the highlight.

[@PAINFOOL13]

Thank you for such a wonderful update. It sure helps one to visualize the interior, which looks highly functional. Be safe n well 🙏🏻 💛

[@PAINFOOL13]

Sorry about my spelling. I had the shakes 😅

[@RANSailing]

Thanks! 👍😊

[@oday3514]

Good video (and I am amazed at how well you narrate what for you must be a second language). On my boat, both the head and the galley are on the port side, thereby making sailing on a starboard tack the preferred tack, because using the head and galley are safer if everything will fall away from you. Yes, I can use the head and galley on port tack, but it is much easier while sailing on starboard tack. Also, I suggest having the toilet oriented port to starboard (laterally), so that you can use it - more easily - while underway. For us 'Mericans, the beam is 12.5 feet, and the draft is 7.2 feet. To me, the draft seems excessive, especially considering the length of the keel, but your architect would know best. I assume that the keel will be cast in lead?

[@RANSailing]

The orientation of the toilet down below is something that we will probably change in future updates. 😊

[@bdphourde]

A very detailed and informative explanation of the modifications! I sould never have thought of your boat as being narrow. I guess when you compare the bow to the stern it averages out.

[@philipwright7186]

How cool to be able to create a design from the keel up that caters for long distance requirements. Out of interest, how big are you planning the FW and (I assume) diesel tanks? I also wonder if you will miss having opposing sofas in the salon? Wouldn't that be a useful feature for the offwatch crew?

[@dianereed9364]

Great design - so well thought out!

[@agie170hss2]

As always: Fantastic attention to details! (and excellent explanation of the reasoning that led to the changes). Brilliant.

[@cmcsailor497]

Great video lots of great information on the build, looking forward to seeing the interior build as your attention to detail Is amazing and I am sure you are both going to have a fantastic quality build ⛵️

[@dannettepeters1507]

The work ahead is going to be the really fun part! Look very forward to seeing the interior take shape, as well as the deck areas! Going to be awesome! Just think, in a couple if years she'll be floating! 🎉🥂

[@Jeffrey-ed8sz]

It all looks user friendly.😊

[@boomerangfishact6754]

✌️ Your videos are my perfect start to the weekend! You explanations are very good. I like your choices.

[@michaelwilliams5234]

Superb video! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@magnushedlund5757]

Great video. I think you should consider have the galley up at the deck house. Make food at the nice view in the social area and avoid stairs climbing for dining.

[@alisonlaw1977]

Lovely to see the design of the boat.

[@graemeoliver744]

really smart design choices.

[@ronpippin4893]

Thanks for the design update episode. Really nice design. It would be interesting to look at bit deeper at the pilot house layout on the nav station side. Also a bit on the cockpit / aft deck area layout.

[@davidfisher268]

Well done

[@user-cg2wy8gr4i]

Patagonia? Now that sounds like an adventure and because I enjoyed your Canadian fiords I look for to seeing you undertake this journey!!!!

[@MrPaulcm1]

It's going to be such a beautiful boat on completion. Love the design. Thank you for the update. :)

[@SuperRajack]

Great video

[@trevhedges]

Thanks guys! 😊

[@IceglacierArnar]

Tak for det

[@andersnilsson1040]

En grej jag blir orolig över med båten, speciellt nu när ni bestämt er för en lång rak korridor är akustiken och även hur lyhört det blir i båten. Ljudmiljön är en mycket större del av något en man kan många gånger tror och det kan vara bara några centimeter i längden mellan väggar eller i en korridor som gör hela skillnaden. Ljud är knepiga grejer och jag rekommenderar er att ha detta i beaktan när ni bygger. Läs på lite om stående ljudvågor på våra vanliga tal och stör frekvenser och försök undvika de längderna mellan hårda parallella ytor.

[@franktadley1810]

OK, looking good. A useful interior and livable while sailing and in port.

[@HellyWelly93]

Loving your ideas!

[@markalan1501]

Excellent presentation. Very professional. Thanks for answering all the questions I've had for a few months.

[@johnharman5440]

You do a great job explaining and narrating the process. miss your daughter and wife. They’re so lovely.

[@MrA1582000]

Enjoyed the update.

[@andymarshall2201]

Great update guys, excellent design and update. I love yours and Duracell Project channels. Always look forward to Fridays.

[@mattmeiners985]

Great design... Love it....

[@sthtemp2]

Great esplainer. Thx. All makes sense.

[@petegraham1458]

Thanks for the update on the design. The experience you three have shows in your thinking the pilot house design is the best for high latitude sailing , I have spent plenty of time sailing off the west coast of British Columbia cold rainy is not enjoyable unless you can get out of the weather for at least part of the passage. I think plates really aren’t useful on a sail boat we used large shallow unbreakable bowls for our food .
