First Design Proposal For Our DIY Yacht - Ep. 318 RAN Sailing

Join the RAN Sailing crew ~ for livestreams, exclusive content & more
/ ransailing
We're busy working on multiple things on the farm. Preparing the barn for the boat build, clearing up in the garden and making it pretty. Then we drive to Denmark to meet the naval architect and we get to see some 3D drawings of RAN III.
We are a Swedish family who have sailed the world since 2016 while sharing the adventures here on KZbin. Our boat and home is a Najad 440 from 1988. We post a new episode every Friday so make sure to subscribe and hit the bell to be the first to know when there is a new episode!

[@Dr.Pepper001]

I'm old (76) and have cancer. I may not live to see your completed boat. But I will watch as long as I can. This is my favorite KZbin channel.

[@charlesmyhill]

it is the first duty of a yacht to be beautiful. And Ran 111 will be!

[@rg1809]

All of these things to think about. So much of them are things anyone buying a boat should consider, and probably don't know. This video is priceless for anyone thinking about getting into sailing.

[@johnrichard4702]

Johan presents himself in such a manner as to highlight his experience and competence. He is very soothing and easy to listen to. I am very much looking forward to this project.

[@Nosecrusher]

A Swedish family using a Danish naval architect?!? A bit surprised they let you back across the bridge. 😎

[@Kathleensailorgirl]

Absolutely amazing to see the “clean” barn and all the interior preparations to get ready for the cold weather. The 3D images of the designs are amazing. It’s great to see you both so excited and happy. Blessings to all , stay safe ⛵️⛵️⛵️💕💕

[@JoseMariaOliveira]

I liked the new intro. Well done. It's also nice to hear that you want her to be beautiful. We're all here for the good, the true and the beautiful. Really looking forward to following this project for the next few years. Maybe I'll ask you to accept a visit to help, some time in the future. Good winds!

[@Tretz624]

That “wind stop paper” is called a “vapor barrier”. 😊

[@alexk5137]

Just want to thank you both for taking us along on such a great journey. It is an inspiration to watch how you have a vision and are not afraid of such an endeavor. For many what seems to be an impossible task you show that patience and proper planning erase ‘im’ from the word and leave only ‘possible’

[@2010katak]

Time for a barn painting party. Pizza, beer, and friends!

[@kenoesterreich7215]

It’s nice to see that you like a clean shop for work.

[@claudehopper9813]

This is really going to be a great series , your knowledge of yachts and functionality will no doubt develop into a great cruising vessel . Thanks for inviting us to follow along the Build will be fascinating and hard work ! Go Ran III

[@irishsailor9327]

Very Exciting times for you and your family.

[@edwinfennema1886]

What a beautiful project

[@Rocketman4H]

I just came across your videos on the episode that you are flipping your boat shell the first time and sanding the inside. I love your process and the beauty of your videos. Thank you for sharing

[@MrCrabbing]

Sure looks like a fine place to live.

[@MrSlundell]

We spent a few years to refit a boat in a barn in western Sweden starting around the year 2000. A few lesson learned; when the barn is being painted, everything inside will get red stripes. Do not paint the top coat when the fields are being harvested unless you want a very matte and grippy finish. A roof hoist is very helpful to move equipment and move material. If I had started the project today I would invest in a cnc router that can take full sheets of plywood. I can set it up for you if you want :)

[@guymanges3628]

Thank you RAN For 318...

[@allmomomosthomebus3895]

What an excellent place for Vera to learn to ride her bike. Kids remember stuff like that. When we moved into our home the kids rode bikes in the finished concrete basement. They still talk about that.

[@tomwilliams8675]

We call that Tyvek Sheeting. Sounds like you want a Sirius Boat. I really like the design of these.

[@capnfrankly]

I trust that the Barn roof is not constructed from asbestos tiles / sheets. A total ban on the use of asbestos was put in place in Australia some years ago due to the direct links to a pulmonary and nasty diseaese , asbestosis a very insidious disease. If found in a house elaborate protections are put in place around the entire house whilst it is removed. Continue to enjoy your videos and your courage in undertaking an immense building project in a new boat. 👀😁

[@andrewsalmon100]

That is a nice list. Engine in its own compartment is nice. Deck house saloons are classy.

[@gerardopena810]

What a nice process. Thanks for sharing!

[@TexSavage]

Thanks for taking us along.

[@mp6756]

I know it's early in the design process but a deck house boat makes sense in every way for a family under sail. I'm very excited for you guys and I am looking forward to the build. Stay safe and enjoy the process.

[@frankrice5364]

U guys are awesome thanks for sharing y,all life

[@bluewendytube]

That had something for everyone, very enjoyable as usual and a welcome escape from the grim UK. Great to see the barn de cobwebbed and wind proofed. The tub looked fab with the addition of a few perfectly positioned plants.

[@kbenham7683]

Good luck on the new project. The Najad looked fine and had good specifications: low PHRF and high comfort ratio, etc. It will be interesting to see how you better them. I admire your bargaining skills, both for the new boat and the farm.

[@trevhedges]

Cheers guys

[@johnbrown-cn8uh]

Loved the video, very excited for your vision and can't wait for your next offering . So nice to see Vera enjoying her new freedom to roam around the barn on her bike.

[@georgeappleton9469]

Congrats! Congrats! Congrats Guys!!!))))) I am SO Happy for ya’s!)))) You guys are AmAAAzing!)))) Love from the states Jacqueline

[@jimt1240]

A 50fter is quite an undertaking. I've built a few small boats and three houses by myself and for me they've always ended up taking nearly twice as long as expected. A small 40-50hp diesel tractor with a front end loader would be very useful to you for moving materials, lifting, mowing,grading, etc. You'd be surprised how useful one can be. Best of luck to you both!

[@alexandermenzies9954]

The beauty of the farm setting will make building a great pleasure, I'd imagine. Looking forward to more details.

[@kirklumsden8107]

Great stuff!

[@jerome01949]

The adventure continues........

[@muaddib1116]

That's so fantastic that you are working with Ulf. I was under contract to buy a beautiful Scandi 52 near Stockholm, in 2020 right before Covid started. Sadly, Covid made the deal impossible, and I had to walk away from it. Really cool design, I still get sad sometimes that I couldn't buy it. I ended up buying a Farr 50 Pilothouse, which has some similar features but has inferior pilothouse/deckhouse visibility, but part of me will always regret not getting the Scandi.

[@tolgahasturk3247]

Ok I'm ready.

[@From_Refugee_To_Yacht_Owner]

Great Design.

[@kerrymettert8962]

Looking good around the farm and barn. You guys are making it your own. Thanks for showing us some early designs on your boat build. Really enjoy your videos!

[@DoubleUThings]

Halfway your wish list I thought: "He actualy wants a catamaran!" :-) Good luck with the build, guys.

[@fc15min]

Be sure, that ground under the cement floor is good and will keep the weight of your future boat build!!! Good luck, hold thumbs for your next boat!

[@jimmiller5476]

You may have to pump grout under the floor or install piers to hold the frames

[@derekwarner6898]

Looking forward to the design development, this was a good explanation of the provisional needs by Johan and having followed you good folk for a while now, I know he will do a great job. Well done Malin on clearing the garden!!!!!!

[@Lifes-Adventures]

Looks like an awesome boat. You have a lot of work ahead of you. I like the second deckhouse design.

[@Tetsaraku]

Liking the Draken model at the back ground :)

[@mykirbs2002]

Your new boat will look pretty whatever you choose !

[@robjac8772]

lycka till Johan och Malin, härligt projekt, måtte ni vara uthålliga, ingen lätt uppgift ni tar er an.. imponerande, ska bli kul o följa..

[@rossarthur116]

Very envious. Exactly as I would build my own if I ever had the chance.

[@janhbhugo5085]

Lots of work ahead ! Good luck !

[@donwilson1061]

I love the new intro and you have an excellent approach to the project in my opinion. I can't wait for the build to begin!! The farm is also beautiful and quaint...great for Vera!! I'm with you for the duration.

[@Tomroozeprive]

Great job !

[@Catalina58601]

You are both such hard workers. I am excited to see it all turn to reality! Your barn looks amazing! It was meant for this.

[@arkansasboy45]

I am really looking forward to seiing the build take place.

[@louisbunton679]

You both are amazing people. I look foward to watching your dream come true !

[@hudsonb631]

I'm very excited for you guys! This is going to be really special. Good to add a 3rd cabin. Just incase friends join you... or perhaps another little :)

[@katemactiern9169]

Bravo pour votre beau projet!!Et dans votre jolie ferme vous semblez tous épanouis !!

[@andersholt4653]

I'm getting more and more excited for each video. You're onto a winner. How thrilling it'll be to see the progress and your proud smile when you've overcome each hurdle. All the best and please don't forget to look after each other in the process.

[@i_am_am_i]

so smart on adding the windows! It'll be really helpful for your motivation and mental sanity during this build. :)

[@dantoddruns]

I enjoyed watching the barn prep and the landscaping as much, if not more than the boat design. Thanks for sharing your story.

[@oldsailor9022]

I will follow your project with interest . A very well thought through approach.

[@kevinlytle6215]

Such a lovely place to call home and what a barn! Huge! Look forward to seeing how your boat will be constructed. I helped a little with building a 37 foot mahogany runabout a number of years ago. Amazing how light and strong a few layers of strips of wood can be with epoxy saturation. Once finished and covered with fiberglass it was as smooth as could be. We cut the strips from standard stock on a band saw which allowed making varied width, depth and length for the strips. Saved a ton of money buying rough stock. As always thank you for this channel!

[@frederickoning191]

Boatbuilding it seems contains life lessons. Deciding what is most important and not subject to compromise--- even the size of the mast for the sails and windspeed for the design of the hull. It all starts with our needs and wants judgments. It will interesting to see how your long held values will play out in this process. What you have said so far in this video makes good sense.

[@oldshad65]

That hull design looks excellent, not a sled and not a charter tub. Nice.

[@DD-xx8wh]

it's just amazing~1:47 says it all...you two create superb design in absolutely all things RAN!! your episodes are wonderful but I'm happy to see whatever's left after all your other challenges get all the time they need! this adventure is going to be so good, can't wait, all the best!!!

[@cesarnovoa9351]

Congratulaciones for your beautiful new space surrounded by a so fertile land. I imagine that you know now that before you start to build your new boat you´ll have to consider to put aside a notorious quantity of money to face the continuous maintenance of the barn and house. Thank you so much your sharing with us of your fantastic life trip.

[@stephendinnes2568]

magic stuff folks,,,keep the new type vidio,s

[@10lauset]

Cheers to you. ..

[@johnparisi3192]

I am very impressed with your plan and hope to become a supporter. I noticed in your closeup of the barn wood that you have or had an infestation of what we call in the USA, Powder Post Beetles. They made all those holes in the wood timbers and can weaken the wood. They can be treated with a borate solution if they are still active. If you hit the timber with a hammer and sawdust falls out the holes it can confirm bug activity. Treating the wood can help your resale value and maybe keep the bugs out of the boat.

[@freedom35pedrick]

Autum is awesome

[@jingbar]

Johan, a great presentation and you are now so confident. I remember back in the first episodes, it looked as if you were hiding behind Malin but now what a difference. Malin have fun on land and enjoy nature, birds singing is certainly different to waves crashing on to the boat in a storm. Bob

[@sandymackenzie8413]

It sounds awesome. You have a great adventure ahead. Good luck to you all!!

[@Buzzcook]

Nice to see the work start. I look forward to the years ahead when you finish.

[@jayrosenthal3343]

This is going to be an exciting adventure. Thank you so much for allowing us to come along on this journey. Have you given any thought to a skeg hung rudder?

[@carlo1081]

After listening of all the crazy in the world i love your videos even more ! good luck on your adventure!

[@robertcarkeek8391]

So very exciting! May the Viking spirit, and lore inhabit all which lyes ahead for you, and in perfect helth !!

[@gordthompson4664]

Thanks for another delightful installment. I look forward to seeing you turn your dream (boat) into a reality, with all of the "little details" along the way. Step 1: Spider removal. Step 2: Stapling up plastic sheeting. Step 3: Replace broken-down stapler. Step 4: Finish stapling. And so on. 😉

[@ianmorris7121]

Loving seeing the whole project coming together... Seeing the prep works on your new home and the barn is great as I feel it adds more more variety to your possible video projects .... Like others have said, I like the design flow of the second deck house.

[@tlowe2502]

Sounds pretty good, thanks guys looking forward to seeing the building of it. We love y'all 👍🏼⛵🐾

[@lboard321]

he does everything easy

[@Tim8mit]

the fabric for the wall in Canada is known as house wrap, by various names...the stuff is fantastic, and works well

[@sventhompson]

Nice!

[@MrBobVick]

Looks like a great plan, love to see the girls doing yard work, way different than boat work.

[@gingin21jr]

I love the design of the Sirius yachts Like. Most that they have a small workshop included You may have a look I like the second design more,looks more beautiful

[@Vis4vinny]

I am glad y'all came to this. This is going to be great. I'm a long time viewer...loved the old boat...and am back to loving you guys with this. Thanks for sharing.

[@HellyWelly93]

So excited to see how this turns out!

[@gmoose777]

Great video guys the farm is coming along nicely and the preliminary drawings look great. Have you considered skeg mounting the Rudder to make it more protected from damage. good luck with the designs and don't compromise too much I look forward to following the progress. Cheers

[@todmills]

Designing a boat is a spiraling-in process, where each aspect of the design is revisited with each turn around the spiral, adjusting by smaller and smaller amounts as the design is refined towards the "perfect compromise".

[@jvkew]

Wonderfully informative, Thank you very much for your You Tube videos. And I appreciate the effort invoved.

[@bubbagail7450]

This is going to be amazing to watch you build this boat.

[@ammoalamo6485]

This is a big project. I have seen two other boats built in the style you mentioned, but I think this is the first time with so few people on the job. I hope you find a way to invite friends, neighbors, or even hired help as your project progresses. Best wishes to all.

[@MrTodd76123]

I'm not surprised to see you so particular with what you want after seeing you repair your previous boats and all the sailing you have done. I found the description of what you want and why particularly interesting.

[@dalejohnson3520]

I have not heard someone call the stairs called a stoop for many years. The small maple trees that you are cutting down are often called vine maples here in Oregon. They are very flexible and can be used in many different ways.

[@stephaniebeaton3939]

Your farm is very beautiful. Wishing success with your journey

[@FighterFred]

Byggandet av båten är förstås den stora grejen, även om designen är viktig. Bra med lite längre köl, ger kursstabilitet. Rodret behöver skyddas, inte så kul att tappa det ute på havet.

[@McTroyd]

First look! So exciting. Really neat that you were able to find an architect who was willing to take on this job.

[@zaneenaz4962]

Plowing ahead with determination and vigor. Congratulations

[@myuboat45]

looking forward to this new build . During the cold winter months of western Canada. Going to enjoy my coffee watching. .Hope the videos are long like this .along with your explanations for us non boaters .Your design is right on. BEAUTIFUL. Let's get going . 💪

[@thehugoalexander]

Sooo jealous of that barn. Such a great space. Been a subscriber since the end of RAN I and all of RAN II, but this phase is going to be so interesting. Good luck guys.

[@bobsails9750]

Thank you

[@bjornwennas7407]

Spännande!

[@robinhodgkinson]

I like your basic list of features. Beam carried aft, square bow, large square house ( but not too boxy I hope), stocky rig, etc. The longer shallower keel is interesting. Love the lines of the hull - she looks fast. I’d also be considering a skegged rudder as apposed to spade for a sturdy cruising boat. Of course, boat design is all about compromise as you say. Looking forward to the build. That should provide a few years of entertainment! 🙂
