Finding Timber For Our Boat Build In Swedish Forest - Ep. 361 RAN Sailing

[@markloti]

Showing the Western Red Cedar was very special - thank you!

[@highvibe4839]

This is why I love Sailing Ran, all the places you travelled , you took us along in your calm manner connecting us to so much beauty, I literally could smell the red cedar Johann. For memory Malin was in her early pregnancy with Vera, she too was a trooper as she was very unwell, and decided to stay with her husband when she would have felt better being off the yacht. ❤ I have So much respect for you two, very authentic and genuine.

[@nmauch]

Fun to see the clip from Humboldt! I used to live up there. I think I recognized the harbor you came into.

[@johnbaxter8569]

That was such a good episode... It was such an uplifting experience seeing Johan in the redwood forest and thinking about their time on this planet... You are both doing such a wonderful job, and i thankyou so much for posting these episodes.

[@Tomm9y]

It is a lovely dimension to this project, so grateful to Johan and Malin for sharing this and the care they put into this.

[@marcolamy]

Agreed! An amazing connection with the materials for the build.

[@kerrymettert8962]

Showing the origin of the Wester Red Cedar was a nice touch! 🌲😊

[@earlsnapp5209]

I'm a long time subscriber... Loved you guy's out on the water... However watching farmstead/boat building, simply extraordinary. I thank you From Portland, Oregon USA. The build looks fantastic.

[@denisbeaulieu958]

Once again, we get to see a man (shipwright by now) being in aw amongst the beautiful material he uses (in its virgin state I might add) - appreciating the importance of managing our forests. Beautiful vlog and dialogues. Tks 🇨🇦

[@Liesthroughisteeth]

These trees can reach 1000 to 1460 years of age in my native province of BC. Truly an amazing privilege to walk amongst these in the wild. :)

[@beachplumb]

You're doing such a beautiful job with the boat build, but I find myself also in awe of the work space you've created for yourself; and not to mention the farm and the scenery beyond! All very zen-like, inspirational and calming.

[@gregkarkowsky967]

A good perspective of just how big the hull is

[@lkirkby3]

Building as you are you actually build in some great stories which will live on with your boat once it gets used. Quite a composite of very uniquely sourced materials.

[@marktanska6331]

I'm no greeney, but I love walking in forest touching trees. Trees are most incredible things

[@michaelphilip3919]

As a lover of wooden boats from Vancouver Island I sure enjoy watching your videos Thank You so much

[@trevhedges]

Thanks guys, And thank you for appreciating the timber you are using.. i think you we’re aiming to say, “it’s not just a material we need” it’s amazing fore thought and appreciation that the material is available.. a small thing we can all do, plant a tree, your grandchildren Will thank you for it!

[@colingrant7355]

Hope you keep some cedar to line the clothes lockers, it makes your clothes smell delicious!

[@Tomm9y]

Great to see the planking progress as the gap closes. Thank you for sharing the Western Red Cedar buying expedition, it's so important to share the stories of how long such a wonderful natural material takes to grow to a become a high quality lumber. I am so pleased to see recognition of those who planted even small areas of such species. The future boat builders will be super grateful for the seedlings being nurtured now. I think of my grandmother's cedar tiled roof, such a quiet house.

[@Kathleensailorgirl]

Beautiful episode, your countryside is absolutely stunning 🤩 great progress on the build 👍👍🥰⛵️⛵️

[@EUC-lid]

Excellent ep. Slow and thoughtful. Thanks for showing us the grove. You mentioned loving the bark. The native peoples of the PNW (of NA) made incredibly intricate everyday (necessary) items from the bark. Hats, clothes, baskets, nets, traps, etc. It was as important to their lives as the timber and the salmon.

[@tomas5376]

Looking at the giant redwood forests brought back lots of memories! RANIIis going to be spectacular!⛵️⛵️⛵️

[@SerbanOprescu]

Splendid images at night!

[@777rogerf]

The substantial girth of the boat is now visible. She's looking to be a great boat.

[@Tim8mit]

Johan you must be so proud of the work you are doing....Ran lll is looking so beautiful

[@allsearpw3829]

Hi, never an episode to miss , great work and your feelings for nature is so honest . Thanks for your videos . 👍👍👍

[@jerome01949]

Beautiful production....

[@mariemorrissey9378]

Great Episode!

[@Sarasdad91]

So nice to see a boat build from beginning, and someday, till the end. Can't wait to see Ran 3 get her christening.

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

The Avenue of the Giants is IMHO a must see and experience first hand. Western cedar smells divine. My western cedar deck is 30 years old and still in good shape for the most part. Congrats on the find and sharing the Western cedar forest. 🌲💚

[@webheadusa9377]

I remember seeing pictures from 100 years ago showing lumberjacks felling large trees, not necessarily the Redwoods - maybe the Douglas Fir, with hand saws.Btw, the siding of my house consists of Cedar Shake Shingles. I stain every 8 to 10 years and they are as good as new. :¬) Webhead USA

[@blackdoublezero]

the mighty Volvo wagon is back !

[@terrysharp908]

Thank you for taking me on your trip to get the cedar. It must be exciting to be getting the hull planked up. Thanks

[@tjsmyth1741]

NOYO Harbor my hometown. Vessel build looks great. Peace and blessings to you and your family. ❤

[@darrylmcleman6456]

More Fine Business!!! RAN 3 is the same length as the mobile home I live in! CHEERS from Westcoast Vancouver Island Canada!

[@BobMuk08]

loved the section in the trees.

[@royormonde3682]

Eastern Ontario Canada here and the way we were taught as kids about the sequoia trees is to remember the number 333, they can grow 30 feet in diameter, 300 feet tall and 3000 years old, shame there's less then 5% of the original forest left. Nice episode showing your visit to that very old forest and nice to see the hull progress, almost light at the end of the tunnel.

[@allmomomosthomebus3895]

This was a very interesting episode. I especially enjoyed how you're now interconnected with the legacy of a stranger from the late 1800s who decided to experiment in the planting of the western red cedar in Sweden. It speaks to the effect our decisions have on others who come after us. It's an excellent anecdote to tell on the point of leaving a legacy in many forms. I think that if every one of us as a family planted trees, we could greatly improve the planet and connect more with life. Have you and Malin thought about planting many trees on your farm property to replenish what's been used on the boat? Maybe not red cedar, but it would be a great karmic gesture!

[@HopeOfJoe]

D. A. M. N. ‼️ The hull is looking fabulous 🎉🎉🎉 Happy you found more of the wood (timber) you needed. Looking forward to the closing of the hull. A party may be a good idea.....at least some champagne for the two of you. 😊 See you next time. ✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝️ 👙 🌞 ✨

[@gregzeszotarski9927]

That is one big boat. Now that I see you walking on the hull, the scale of the boat becomes very apparent. Incredible project and you seem to be doing a masterful job.

[@gaflaview6476]

Good going. Can’t wait till the flip.

[@williamkhatchell620]

Love to see all the large old trees, especially the one across the stream. Planking looking great. Almost there.

[@sailingsvzara]

You should install a jack line on the ceiling and wear a harness in case you fall. Thats a long way.

[@somadevo]

Lookin' great

[@bryansmith1920]

@ 16:45 I hadn't found you when you sailed BC before and explored the Forrests, I had to take a moment, to overcome my tears, I get that a lot when seeing Nature up close, At sea or on land, we are but a passing mosquito buzz, to such a Tree,

[@bobsails9750]

Thanks very much

[@magnuslemhage7552]

Vad, du kan, !!!!!,Mycket imponerad av dina kunskaper.....Härliga snickarkunskaper... Mvh Magnus Lemhage Skövde Sverige 🙂👍

[@roberttorres809]

I’m loving it, my God; that’s going to be a beautiful boat!!!!

[@andrewjames7616]

Thankyou 👍

[@americanbornwalkaway9110]

OUTSTANDING Work Johan!!!!! I cannot WAIT to See her Finished!!!! I live in Southern Oregon NOT far from the Redwoods....I have seen them Hundreds of Times.....and I am ALWAYS in total Amazement How Big and OLD they are .....AWESOME Video

[@amham48]

You have a unique ability to create informative and calming videos unlike any other KZbin channel I've discovered...thanks!

[@michaelgillespie6526]

The perfect coffee break video! Thank you for sharing! Greetings from 🇨🇦

[@HellyWelly93]

I loved that you went and visited the forest where the tree was from 🥰

[@marcbloch1963]

I drove down “the avenue of the giants” last November. My favourite was the 1800 year old “grandfather tree”. I also learned that the burnt out trees are caused by lightning.

[@Opdeweegh73]

Complements to RR2 for being this open and transparent on what it takes to do a shakedown for a new boat. Great learning and experience! Well done to you for telling the story and having this kind of cooperation between the two channels. Hope when you have the HH trial that RR can provide the perspectives and tell the story. Overall, well done!

[@RoyClare]

Brilliant narration as always. And such a lovely idea to splice in that footage from 2019. You guys rock! Thank you Malin and Johan. 😊🎉

[@farmecologist3395]

Wow...amazing forestry there. Thanks for sharing!

[@anthonyrondolino8148]

The Avenue of the Giants is truly amazing. Walking around huge living things that have been growing there fir over two thousand years really impacts your thoughts.

[@jamesallen8838]

Another GREAT video Really loved the story behind the Cedar 👍👍👍👍

[@donkinzer5718]

The trees in the grove that you visited are probably second growth. We had second growth Western Red Cedar on the previous property that we owned in Oregon that were of similar size and that property had been cut and re-planted about 60 years ago. If they were 140 years old they would be much, much larger.

[@rickdaniel8478]

Great episode, loved the wood details. Thank you for sharing 😊 Sail on Cheers

[@johnschmuck5589]

I’m very impressed by your abilities and attitude! I am not a sailor but I am a woodworker and your work is impressive

[@webheadusa9377]

Do you plan to sell the plywood frames that serve as the skeleton for the planking? I say this in case the thought to sell your framework to someone else has not crossed your mind. I think you could recover a reasonable amount since the buyer would be getting the already-made forms for his or her boat build. And they have your step-by-step videos to help their build. Be careful with your demo, keep the pieces in good shape, yeah, shipshape! You could even sell your power tools as well, it is unlikely you will need them again. Just thinking a buyer might lease the barn and the house for their boat build. Recycle whatever you can whenever you can. :¬) Webhead USA

[@RorySeanWainer]

What a massive undertaking 👏👏👏

[@normanboyes4983]

Excellent video covering so much in such a short time. The end of the planking phase is accelerating towards you.😀👍⛵️

[@steventrostle1825]

Happy to hear that you got a great price for all that timber. I also enjoy seeing the hull develop. Thanks for sharing.

[@davidhuysmans67]

Every episode i'm baffled by your craftsmanship.

[@thomascallaghan5988]

Great video

[@fonhollohan2908]

Johan you have done a fabulous job on this Boat thus far, I've been binge watching your videos for several days been enjoying this build bigtime!

[@ralphfolden3273]

Nice work! I am really fond of the look and smell of the Western Cedar, also. This is very interesting build. Like your sailing, your carpentry is excellent. God bless😊

[@LanceT.]

I've got to say, if I did half as much planking as you guys, I'd have some seriously incredible abs. The boat is looking great though! It's almost too bad that you won't be able to see the wood when it's all done.

[@kbenham7683]

At sea, you will have the smell of a forest. People used to talk about how good wooden boats smelled before engines. Even the side projects like the workshop are done with craft and aesthetics.

[@christopherforster6555]

West Red cedar is a lovely timber especially for making greenhouses which last for years and so will your boat .

[@guymanges3628]

Thank you RAN for 361...

[@billmeldrum2509]

I just love your channel. Very informative and you guys are fearless! 🇨🇦

[@meinmaine9138]

I really enjoyed seeing the forest, thank you for that visit. The boat is really coming nicely! 🎉🎉

[@JohnSmith-cx7zt]

Great build, great to see the boat almost planked.

[@fastfreddy]

All I can say is “ great video”!!! I cruised the Queen Charolette Islands in 1982 in a Cascade 36- home built. I was in awe of the cedar trees / old growth. Your video reminds me of why I still am I still in awe of the island and the Haida people with their totem poles. Again , a Very cool video.

[@calypso22]

What a beautiful hull. Fantastic work.

[@robinhodgkinson]

It seems western red cedar was a popular choice. We have the odd stand of it here in New Zealand that dates back to the 1880s. A bit of an oddity given kauri forrest was being cut down like there was no tomorrow back then. Ironically we now have little kauri left that has any age, but the cedar is now a tourist attraction!

[@johncrisp6683]

It’s amazing that one person decided long ago about those trees. There you are with a load of planks in the original forest. The smell is lovely! Victoria BC

[@jumboon]

It's so beautiful already! A modern drakkar!

[@jwfox54]

Beautiful forest.

[@dale6349]

The ultimate exercise in agility!! Stay young

[@MrPaulcm1]

Wow, it's really coming along now. Such a fantastic job. The farm looks so relaxing as well, a beautiful home. Those trees are gorgeous. Great to be able to get the timber you needed. Love the vlog :)

[@akimmonet]

You give Leo a run for his money. Both of you are at the top of your game. Thank you so so much and heartfelt congratulations. RAN III exists henceforward; and what a beauty she is! ❤

[@kentulander5716]

Fascinating to see the impact a KZbin channel makes. machinery and timber offered

[@giles-df9yu]

Beautiful job , redwoods are something to see in person, I visited the mariposa Grove in Yosemite years ago. Seeing those tiny trees in person is something you will never regret you look up and you cannot see the top.

[@MarceloMitelman]

Fantastic!!!!

[@MrA1582000]

So love how Johan reveres the forest and tress.

[@MrCrabbing]

That bow looks fantastic, you must be very pleased with how shes coming along.

[@RickPrice-jm4si]

I live in Squamish, on the west coast of British Columbia, where the western red cedar is native. It is interesting how slowly these trees have grown over the past 135 years in Sweden. I planted cedars in my yard about 45 years ago, and they are as big or bigger than some of these in Sweden. But the slow growth is probably to your advantage; the grain should be tighter and the wood perhaps stronger.

[@thematronsmilitia]

One of my earliest memories is standing in that same tree at 3 years old over 2 decades ago

[@alexdieudonne1924]

Great video especially including the forest scene. Well done.

[@peterheiberg566]

I believe the reason old growth trees have less knots ( branches) is because when a tree grows in a mature forest it doesn’t make much sense to put out branches in the shade of the surrounding trees. Therefore it goes for height because that’s where the light is. A tree grown in a clear cut benefits from putting out branches right away as there is plenty of light close to the ground. This is a bit different from your explanation ( but I am not a forester). If you notice there is little or no undergrowth near the cedar. This is how cedar competes with other plants by making the ground unsuitable for other plants. Acidic I think.

[@stevenwarner7348]

Thank you so much for the English narration. Such a sweet build. Wow! ✨🌸✨

[@johnjcabrall]

A life long sailor from a sailing family on San Francisco Bay. I loved watching your section on the Northern California Redwoods - very special- I'm a new subscriber as well- now I'm going to have to binge watch all your episodes!

[@bendaves77]

Humboldt County in Northern California is also known as the Emerald Triangle.. it's known for its special Marijuana.. alot of hippie communes are in the area and it's the perfect place almost like a garden of Eden for growing and nature being able to strive with the conditions.. America truly is an amazing place.. of course I'm an American so it makes it easier to say this..😂

[@dougmonroe3381]

I live in northern California, myself, and have spent many enjoyable hours walking the trails around and among these great giant Sequoias in Humboldt Redwoods State Park (and the "Avenue of the Giants" near Redcrest, CA). I love their smell, too! It's good to see them, now, in Sweden as well!

[@stevenholton438]

It must be nice to emerge from that big pile of lumber and finally have most of your usable space again! Shop area looks very efficient and beautiful with the grain of the wood showing up the elegant lines of the hull!

[@russellmurphy8111]

Excellent job nice story explaining Western Red Cedar!!!

[@dougmassey1807]

Cedar is such an interesting and uniquely perfumed wood. The giant redwoods north of San Fran which you also featured were on our honeymoon must see list 35 years ago. Also we lived in Bermuda a sailing nation and Bermuda cedar was also cultivated there for wonderful wooden home treasures, not least the lovers goblets which we still have. I am unsure if the trees were ever used there in boat construction. Interesting boat build videos, such craftsmanship.

[@sailingchencharu2787]

Great Job! I have one question about the transom. Forgive me if someone asked before me. Why not build the transom and deadwood before planking so that you can lap and fasten the planking over the transom edge? I'm sure you have a plan for this step and I'm curious how this area to be constructed. thank you.

[@Tretz624]

You should plant one of those on the farm.😊
