[@paulstephens5229]

I can’t begin to imagine just how much work you have already put into making the hull fair, I raise my hat to you sir.

[@geodesy2009]

Simply amazing amount of back breaking work. You are a machine Johan. Mad respect! Absolutely no one on a sailing VLOG comes close to your ambition and drive. Marlin’s work is less obvious but editing, being a mom and a lot of hard manual labor is remarkable too. You’re an amazing pair!!

[@0912v]

What he said. I get exhausted just thinking of that work.

[@rustneversleep]

To call you two dedicated and hard working I think would a understatement 🖐️👍🍾❤️ !!!

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

I love that you know when enough is enough and you take time for rest and relaxation. Vera climbing the tree brings back fond childhood memories. Thanks for sharing.

[@windonwater3895]

I know I've said this a number of times but I'll say it again. You BOTH do such a nice job of explaining what you are doing. Yohan does a really nice job describing the process. Little things like how helpful the new respirator is and how much it helps. And, thanks for including Vera in the episode!! Ron

[@robinhodgkinson]

Fairing 50’. That’s one hell of an upper body workout Johan! Wait till you get a coat of paint on the hull. You’ll forget the pain and the was it worth it thoughts instantly, as you continue for years to admire those sweet sweet reflections. Been there.

[@bobrae5484]

Ahh to be young and able to endure the gruelling work - which looks easy on a video but must be back breaking. I'm glad to see they are protecting their lungs. Damage doesn't show up for decades after which it is too late

[@torstenhansen4308]

I was just thinking that even when I was young and in shape I would not have had the endurance that Johan is showing here. They don’t call it a ‘torture board’ for nothing.

[@mermaid7775]

I have no real interest in boat building but have watched every episode attentively. I think I would watch videos of Johan explaining how to boil water. Something about J’s patience, steady dedication, expertise and meticulous care in every detail is mesmerizing…and the humble tone just makes it ultra charming. Lovely family, epic project, high quality videos. ❤

[@jimiandersen6962]

Poor Johan! I feel every bit of your pain. After this you'll be fit like never before. Or need a good physical therapist😅

[@thecaptaincrayfish3873]

😂

[@mikewillis2934]

I admire your tenacity

[@judd_s5643]

Johan… that long board builds character!

[@pkane5472]

SV Delos just announced they're going to build their next boat and one of the commenters said "Please, just don't share any fairing! We see enough of that on Ran Sailing!" Got me laughing!

[@franckvandiest2829]

Unbelievable what you are pulling off man… respect 👊🏻

[@cutaway7405]

That is Such a Horrendous undertaking! You 2 have done a Tremendous amount of work and are doing a good job documenting it all! We wish you all the best! The finished project will be a Thing of Glory and an Amazing Accomplishment built with your heart and soul and steady labour....🎉❤❤😅

[@SuperKeylight]

BIG RESPECT MAN! I admire your incredible determination. Good luck !

[@edwinfennema1886]

Very good to take some rest. Enjoy the weekend

[@Cptnbond]

Malin that is a brilliant move to clean up. Due to its exothermic chemical reaction, epoxy droplets/waste rugs on the floor dust are a severe fire hazard. Cheers.

[@normandogrady2965]

This man is hero

[@carterbentley9030]

My thought exactly. Definitely heroic.

[@jackdaily3383]

MJ Sailing is building a boat and last week he showed us an electric planing sander that is about 3'long. That may take alot of the physical work out of the build. You two will be in great shape come boating time. Amazing work you two are doing. Cheers from the States.

[@freedomrider30]

Have made a couple comments in the past. Been here for years now. Crazy what you are doing!!! A+ you two!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎

[@charliebrown1828]

Wow! Just wow! Kudos to the family! Everyone contributes! Very nice! Well done.

[@ghostshipproductions3160]

I admire all the hard work you both are doing

[@johnbaxter8569]

More very hard work for both of you. I am so impressed with the quality of work you are producing...Well done!

[@sailingsmalldreamingbig9022]

I really admire the work you do! It is just crazy amount of fairing and sanding. And what a rare sight these days seeing a child climbing a tree :)

[@dougmonroe3381]

Well done, you two! I did get tickled watching Vera climb that tree in your yard (about 10:30+ into your video). Even though she really wasn't stuck, she finally decided that she'd gone about as high as she was comfortable going -- sweet grin and all. I've an idea that on one summer day, she'll make it very near to the top of that tree! Having been a tree-climber, myself, at her age, I actually spent many hours resting in the branches of our buttonwood tree -- caressed by the wind and swaying of the limb I lay on. Those remain to be some wonderful contemplative moments of my own childhood. 💞

[@fastfreddy]

Suggestion for both of you - when it gets 55f /13c deg outside open your double doors and use two leaf blowers ( have your masks on) and blow away. After 3 sailboats I learned my lesson. As Malin did in this weeks video - - Pre-sweep the floors and tidy up as much as possible prior to this event !!😊 Keep the faith - stay focused as you are now !!😎👍 We love every Friday waiting for you updates.

[@lydiaajohnson]

Looking great!

[@HellyWelly93]

Looking good!

[@dannettepeters1507]

Getting closer and closer to that exciting day; the turning of the hull!!

[@woodandwaveskayaks]

I love your approach to boatbuilding. Very process driven. Trying to optimise the process wherever you can. It makes for a relaxed build and also easy to watch.

[@BeerGutGuy]

Keep the end goal in sight and take care of your health

[@gregg6282]

For 1 single person that is a huge amount of sanding. I take my hat off to you

[@foxtanker4055]

A very fare video. Keep at it and maybe spend the weekend at a spa :)

[@user-hv5ld5fv5r]

Watch every episode! Love your VIDS. Keep going, but don’t hurt yourself. Mike in Illinois USA

[@colinedwards7367]

That hull is definitely smoother than a babies bottom!

[@russellmurphy8111]

Have a great weekend and rest! Thanks for the video!

[@paulbadger6336]

Well done to both of you. Thank you for taking the time to share.

[@rob3942]

Unbelievable hard workers you both are. All credit and respect eh

[@sailorrusty]

Look really good, have a good rest. You've earned it.😁

[@kerrymettert8962]

Excellent Work!

[@davidnichols147]

Johann, unbelieve job fairing the topsides, your chest size must have really increased after 4 weeks. You both are amazing with optimizing each process on this project. Vera climbing the tree was so special, thank you to the whole family.

[@wadeshore]

You must be exhausted, I admire you. I look forward to your videos.

[@trevhedges]

Thanks guys!

[@timball885]

It’s looking great! You seem to have a good grasp of getting the balance of pushing on and taking a break, which I have found is key to very large projects.

[@dcdow180]

I have watched you since you sailed Ran1, then Ran2 , then the birth of your beautiful little girl, now the new build. How you can maintain the pace I have no idea but it’s remarkable, just love your videos

[@fredbreck344]

Looks like shard sport! I can feel it only by watching the video… Good workout! BR

[@michaelvanwinkle7919]

Good to see you add the improved safety breathing equipment. Now you will be able to enjoy your sailing of this boat for many years to come.

[@user-bk4es6yh3n]

Hi I'm from Barbados in the Caribbean and followed your channel from the start of your boat build project hats off to you great job

[@dougdekuiper3194]

Johan, I have said this before and I will say it again: I hate sanding. Qu do’s to you, you are doing a great job with a lot of hard work.

[@anoaradura3967]

Good job, beautiful .

[@shatho9137]

Amazing work

[@ThomasCurran-wj9nx]

looks so difficult. So painful. I admire your work ethic!!!

[@josephhegarty1918]

Thanks for a great video

[@milt7348]

Stay safe and we'll see you next week.

[@beggarsbanquet3420]

Attention to detail, your work is amazing, congratulations to the fine work you are doing, love your videos 👍

[@KillickGreenieRN]

Thank you for another great update.

[@erikjalefors9377]

En jädra massa slipa och spackla ! men det ser grymt bra ut !! bra kämpat !!

[@larssolem2507]

Johan you are so meticoulus and skillful, make sure you do not work yourself sick!

[@bjarkesvenningsen6885]

Great to see you changed those masks to one with a ventilator on. I commented some episodes back, that its not healthy to use a normal mask for 10-15 hours a day.. So really great to see :)

[@andrewjames7616]

Thankyou 👍

[@hguldmann]

I love you take care of yourselves in the dust❤❤❤

[@claremaccarthy7308]

Hvor er det godt! Tillykke❤ That’s just great. Congrats❤

[@lorentosi]

When i see how much efforts there is behind the construction of a sailboat, I am glad i spent 4M for my new Hoyster and i just have to whait 6 months for the delivery..in the meantime i can watch sailng channel on my sofa hahahahah

[@angeltyson1966]

Beautiful job just think about it you’re working on making your floating home and your Beachbody at the same time😊❤

[@bennykarlsson2138]

Tack!

[@davep5788]

I would have said "good enough" two weeks ago, although to be honest I never would have started. Amazing work.

[@PapaCheeb]

Johan, I hope you are doing some before/after photos of yourself during this part of the build, and maybe even some basic body weight and measurements, if only for the fun of it. As the weather warms and the heavy clothing sheds I’m expecting to see a Swedish Tarzan emerge. 😮 😂 💪

[@janfalkhermansen9907]

I feel for you, I have done so much of that kind of work myself, I can feel it in my own back by looking at you

[@boooshes]

Since the fairing compound additive is designed to be sanded easily, I have found that a heavy initial layer on a properly keyed surface saves a lot of work in the end. The only real down side is that due to the thicker layer that may exist in some areas, and the lower scratch resistance of the compound, it may result in more or deeper surface scratches in use.

[@alleycat5472]

I still get mixed up top side, no your on the top, oh no your on the bottom, whats up, oh no that is down :) Thank you for sharing.

[@matswilliams1058]

Incredibly hard work you put in, day in and day out! Super impressed with your progress and good that you take time off from the torture boards!

[@markpalmer5311]

Just looking fantastic!

[@Payne7365]

Enjoying your videos!

[@rnbspowa7of69]

Looks GREAT! 👍💙😎🇺🇸

[@chantedefelepe]

What a great job 👏 well done to you all

[@mnbsay9548]

Mr. Miami is certainly proud of you 😊 You’re a machine,Viking. The pace at which you work is incredible, just impressive…wow I can’t wait to see the look on the faces of people at the dock. Nice boat. Where did you get it… I built it… 😳😳😳😳

[@JakobEngl]

great video

[@marekdenn]

Sweet Volvo!!

[@MrPaulcm1]

Wow! You are doing such a great job on the fairing, way to go guys. Love the mask you are using Johan, so much better for you. Love the vlog :)

[@iam57yearsold]

What a fantastic project. So much work.

[@peterbartmann9006]

Really hard work. ..

[@americanbornwalkaway9110]

OUTSTANDING

[@islandonlinenews]

Everything ads up, great job!!! It’s inspirational to watch you work so hard at such a big job.

[@user-gs2vu3jw9t]

When we built our 44ft yacht we called the "long board" a "torture board" because it absolutely was! Ours had 2 handles, one handle with Barb written on it and John written on the other. Keep at it you will get there in the end. It feels great when you stop!

[@fonhollohan2908]

I recommend before you apply the base coat go with a marine filler primer and put on several heavy coats and then when you sand it then its will help flatten things out and get rid of low spots to prepare you for your base coat.

[@ehofman7636]

You did a wonderful job with the hull is looks so good well done you have a lot of gym in 4 weeks 👌👍

[@ianpledge3891]

Literally outstanding

[@ianlangley987]

Only one word for all your efforts - PERFECTION. Well done. I bet you can't wait to turn it over and start work on the inside. Cheers Ian

[@Really2950]

Good workout

[@arefsum]

Beautiful work 🙂

[@michaelmerrithew4042]

I can't imagine how strong his shoulders have become. I wouldn't want to have to take a punch from him. He has a monster imagination and determination. You da man!

[@johnbaxter8569]

Thanks

[@RANSailing]

😀 Thank you! 👍

[@Tim8mit]

wow by the time this boat is finished you will have earned it's resale value in hard work, not to mention the materials....can't wait till you flip the hull over...I'm surprised just how early spring comes to southern Sweden, in Montreal Canada were are quite a bit further south and spring has come extra early this year. Best wishes

[@evewilkinson9653]

Absolutely brilliant you two are amazing, I just wish that I had your energy again .❤❤❤

[@allsearpw3829]

Great to see the hull is looking fine , and you should start the Oh glorious sanding club along with Mads . Take care and awaiting the first coat of paint . Amazing word .😉👍👍👍

[@garylcampbell9964]

Very very nice.

[@guymanges3628]

Thank you RAN for 387...

[@azzajane5568]

The sanding looks to be a good core workout. I bet you have noticed a difference in your core strength with the boat build, Johan. Thanks for another great video.

[@jayomjarmo]

You are a real work horse ,respect !

[@haraldhannelius]

Oh glorious sanding
