have you seen Sailing Uma channels motor system on there boat they are renovating there boat now

[@boomerangfishact6754]

The most frequently expressed sentence of Johan: „I think it turned out really good!“ 😊 👍

[@pkane5472]

Because he spent so much time thinking it through before "acting" @@peterhancox5268

[@rallyman1122]

Given how detail oriented Johan is I can see why he says that.

[@camdening7315]

Always an understatement… exceptional craftsmanship! 🫡

[@tartansailor]

That little girl will break many hearts in a few years...She's so cute. Cheers

[@richardlawson8105]

Your home/farm looks so beautiful from the air. Vera is growing so well, you should continue to encourage her can do attitude. This boat is proving itself to be the work of a master craftsman. Johann, Mads, Alandino you insipre me.

[@basiaboy]

Oh my goodness Vera has grown so much this summer…. She’s so cute too!

[@Valerie_Dawn]

The hull is looking really good. It’s always nice to see sweet little Vera working with you. She has grown so much.

[@raymondthomas8080]

I can't believe how much your little stow-a-way (Vera) has grown. It's truly enjoyable watching the entire family contribute to the boat build effort.

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

With every step, my fascination grows. I can imagine tired calves from stooping and bending. I loved the drone footage. Thanks for sharing.

[@dannettepeters1507]

WOW! A major milestone is reached and it's time to glass her up! Going to be very interesting as well, to see the fiberglass layers take their place! I am getting most anxious for the "turning of the hull" when we get a proper look at this beauty! That will be a celebration for sure! 🥂. Then the really fun work begins and the interiors and top deck take shape!!!

[@mapsman5513]

The drone shots really show the surrounding fields clearly. Vera has changed so much in the last year. What a wonderful place for her to spend a few years of childhood.

[@graemesmith8232]

Great to see Captain VERA keeping a very close watch on you too deck hands!

[@larrycase2762]

I am always so disappointed when the video ends. I could watch you work all day. Great craftsmanship, and I look forward to the next episode.

[@alexmorton7730]

I thoroughly enjoy watching the build and your little daughter adds a lot of sweetness and beauty. She reminds me of my own daughter, helping around our Nova Scotia farm at that age and of my granddaughter helping plant onions at our place in Greece, folding the earth over them and wishing each a good sleep.

[@aramisorrel]

This child is the most beautiful sailor worker that I ever seen. ⛵

[@bdowco098]

Please show some of your home, inside your house, family breakfast and a bit of you cooking. We enjoy your videos so much, especially Vera. Ran III is looking so lovely.

[@bobgaysummerland]

You guys are heroes. Seriously. This is a huge undertaking. But it will be finished and it will be beautiful, strong and a point of pride.

[@JCAJCA3]

A true Wood Working Artist!

[@prof.heinous191]

Hats off to your stamina Johan!!

[@Smilliztho]

Vera picking up washers really reminds me of 20 years ago when I was her age and my dad was building our house together with some hired carpenters. The carpenters where heavy smokers so me and my brother went around and picked up cigarette buds in a bucket. Dad gave us 20kr (2 dollars) for every full bucket!😅 It might sound weird but I loved helping out. And the pocket change where perfect for buying ice cream in the afternoon after a hard days work!

[@donaldklapproth8091]

Having been raised on a farm in the US, I can tell you your far. Bri gs back wonderful memories because, like ours, you have no close houses, just open growing fields. Just love the Arial views. Johan, how much woodworking background had you before this unbelievable experience you've taken on? Your talents continue to amaze my wife and me! FWCS ⛵️

[@nick.caffrey]

Nice to see Vera getting the 'hands on' experience. She just takes everything in her stride, it seems. Shows what can be done when there are committed parents.

[@nmauch]

Vera should be done spreading the gravel by the time she’s 10. 😊 I miss my kids at that age-so cute and helpful! The project is definitely in an exciting transition!

[@everydayeverything]

Two weeks was a long time for us to wait but hoping you had a chance to disconnect. Happy to see your episodes back!

[@kerrymettert8962]

Great progress again! Vera is such a cute little helper💕

[@TheThreebucks]

I always enjoy hearing about Johan’s careful planning, measuring, and re-measuring, and I never fear it’s going to turn out anything but correct and “really good” ! 👏

[@Ydnar6929]

As always, a fun and informative progress video. Bonus footage of your absolutely adorable daughter. I look forward to every Friday.

[@exae352]

This is more like building 2 boats. One of wood and one of fiberglass. Miss your travels but love watching the building of the new boat.

[@danrose3621]

It is awsome you got your daughter involved in the build

[@rainfinger]

Pure genius! Vera's cameos are so enjoyable.

[@FromThePrairies]

This takes "measure twice, cut once" to an entirely different level. Well done!

[@jvkew]

The visual quality of your channel is always wonderful!

[@BobMuk08]

Lovely to Vera wanting to make her contribution to everything!

[@abrahamtov364]

She is so cute and happy what a great helper!

[@migueltorres6073]

I thoroughly enjoy watching the build and your little daughter adds a lot of sweetness and beauty. 😊😊

[@ASvanRandwijck]

I look at this interesting episode and heard you say that you want to fill the gaps with thickend epoxy and then give the hull a primer coat. Suggestion: first 'soak' it with thin epoxy as it is so it can easily saturate the wood and then apply the tickened epoxy. Maybe that gives better bonding.. Keep up your amazing work!

[@billb.6109]

We loved your drone footage,... such beautiful farming countryside!!! When Johan says, "I think it turned out really good", You can take that to the Bank! Safe Travels.

[@normanboyes4983]

That was a really interesting episode and I can well understand the angst of measuring and re measuring multiple times before committing to those relief cuts, especially at the transom. Vera is growing up very quickly and is showing all the signs of making a good apprentice on this boat project. Fantastic work, all round. 😀👍⛵️

[@joefrost-l4x]

I love watching the work, almost as much as watching your sailing adventures. Quick tip for routing recesses: first cut the two end channels, as you did, then run the router back and forth between the channels. That allows you to always have about half of the plate on a bearing surface. That will cut down on the divots that you ar needing to clean up with a plane.

[@glenntaylor5638]

All that hard work and expertise; she will be a fine boat!

[@brentclarke1841]

Ran III awesome boat build, beautiful hull,, really strong construction and she looks fast.....👍⛵👍

[@kenholt8297]

Great job helping your mom and dad Vera.😅🎉

[@walterthorne4819]

LITTLE BEAUTY

[@andersnilsson6625]

Thank you guys for another wonderful video, great to see the build progressing. And Vera is just so sweet! Like candy 😃💕

[@arkansasboy45]

The drone shots of the farm were really nice. It reminded me of an island on the ocean.

[@milt7348]

Stay safe and we'll see you next week.

[@dannyknox4314]

It must be so satisfying to know that you really know every seam of your boat - no doubts wondering what the original builder was thinking - why they did something. Thanks for including us on the journey,

[@MrEwoud342]

Its monday and I'm in the yard!

[@knutarneaakra6013]

You folks are so great

[@mikeharrison5089]

Johan, have you got a boat building back ground? You seem to have a very good knowledge of what you are doing and how it should be done. Far better than your average DIY man. Love watching you work and listening to your commentary.

[@cliffstevenson5773]

Another beautiful interlude for your viewers. The wood working was lovely, the farm a colorful jewel in the Swedish countryside, and Vera a wonder changing before our eyes.

[@runristaren]

It's coming along nicely! Hälsningar från Finland 😊

[@Kathleensailorgirl]

Beautiful drone footage 😊 once again amazing workmanship 👍👍blessings to you all 🙏🙏⛵️⛵️⛵️🥰😊

[@petegraham1458]

You will be very happy you took the time and effort to make the transition to the overlap joint trough , I was concerned when you first explained its purpose , having done some glass work on boats that corner would have been a failure point. Very good work getting that done up! Nice to see the family involved again!

[@marka11111]

glad to see you're keeping those marvelous drone skills sharp too

[@philipwright7186]

I noticed on an episode of The Duracell Project, to avoid voids when laying fibreglass over a 90 degree bend, they used resin and thickener (I believe), squeezed it along the 90 degree edge then used a round tool to shape it into a smooth curve. This might work along your deck recess.

[@ctrain226]

When he whipped out the hand plane my hands hurt for him😂

[@patrickleahy770]

I think the port side is the best side of this boat. Discuss. The way the shop is set up the light from the windows always makes it look great. Now the other side is no slouch, but the other side is a beautiful work shop, vs a beautiful farm. And this is what I think about instead of studying. 😂

[@allsearpw3829]

Hi , GREAT WORK AND A REALLY GREAT FAMILY , well it is now looking like a long ship and going to be a fine vessel for you all .❤👍👍👍

[@HopeOfJoe]

And the work moves forward. RAIN III is looking sooooooo good. She will be a solid boat and safe for the family. See you next time.✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝️ 👙 🌞 ✨

[@donaldwright6613]

You are doing a great job mate, and yes it is looking great. 👍⛵

[@markuskail1922]

You can use childrens chalk for marking where to sand and where it was already sanded :)

[@hedleyjackson5131]

I am not at all surprised the transom took so long hats off to you for working it out looks great super detail and skill.

[@geekdomo]

OMG she is growing TOO FAST! At this point she will be old enough to man the helm during next passage

[@Duh6666666]

Is it just me or all sailing kids cute as buttons? Great job on the boat, it is going so well, can't wait for the next steps.

[@andrewmullen4003]

Your new apprentice looks like a handful!!

[@svlamancha9877]

Great progress on on the hull. You could save on the the peel ply by priming the hull as you go and laying up wet on tacky. 👍

[@scottwhite2379]

Around 5:20 it's mentioned coating and peelply so that you do not have to sand again. This caught my ear. In my quest for knowledge i have found that statement contentious when it involves strucural bonds.

[@gordthompson4664]

After all of your work on the planking I must confess that seeing you dig into it with a router made my blood pressure spike a little bit. Talk about "Measure twice, cut once!" 😅 As always, all the best from Canada! ❤

[@arthurschuler8906]

In 1990 I helped repairing a ferrocement hull. The pressure of the deck deformed the hull a lott but later when we sailed it did not matter at all to my astonishment.

[@shawnbarnett8366]

Ran II has in really beautiful lines. The craftsmanship is very apparent.

[@evanofelipe]

When I see the Swedish Autumn fields and farmers gathering the last of their Summer’s yield, I am uplifted. It’s a reassuring, timeless and tranquil scene that forms the backdrop of your gargantuan efforts. It’s also a scene that’s repeated across Western Europe and then I think of the ghastly horrors occurring every minute just a few hundred miles to the East. Splintered and blasted stumps of thousands of trees tilted on the boundary of bomb cratered fields with a nation bravely fighting for its independence. The two scenes cannot be more different. It’s as though they’re on different continents, the fact is they are not. The West will need to hold to together to defend its borders against an angry Russian bear determined to overthrow and wreak havoc in its wake.

[@Qweekdraw]

Measure twice, cut once. Job well done!

[@guymanges3628]

Thank you RAN for 364...

[@arthurkettle3010]

It's already a work of art... fantastic work Johan 🤟

[@MikeKoss]

Vera is looking so grown up! ❤

[@charles11ification]

Intelligence, discipline, precision and patience on display.

[@Lilou34650]

Your farm looks like a Island with a long Bridge.

[@fastfreddy]

Great video , great work and craftsmanship . Fair winds

[@selsyn73]

Malen and Johan, your videos are eagerly anticipated each week. It is so relaxing to sit here on a Friday night enjoying your content. The video quality, the work quality, the beautiful life quality, the farm. I could go on. Thanks for bringing joy to so many of us non-sailors and non-boat builders. Peace

[@jackdaily3383]

Johan, I saw a trick on You Tube at a carpenter's shop where they took a vacuum hose to the large clear bags of sawdust, and it brought the volume down to a 1/3 of the original size. The hull looks incredible so far.

[@gfroese4799]

Eagerly waiting for the next vidio

[@ph1646]

Did anyone notice at 1:00 a red tractor with a blue implement, and a blue tractor with a red implement? Swedish farmers are awesome!!!

[@MrPaulcm1]

Wow, great job guy's on getting the screws out, plus sanding and sealing. Lovely seeing Vera helping out. Awesome aerial shots. Great vlog :)

[@Rsama60]

When you explained the transom I think I saw the laserline close to your eyes. Please be careful, the laser might damage your eyesight. The hull looks amazing.

[@CAPTJohn47]

When I watch Johan crafting RAN III and compare his workmanship to my own boat projects, I feel like a chimpanzee with a stone axe. I primarily come here for the joy of watching Vera. What a delightful little person she is!

[@dillinpicklesworth5698]

Eagerly awaiting splash day, ❤❤🤗

[@WayOfHaQodesh]

Hurra! Grattis - what a milestone! She's a beauty!

[@jimstone2669]

Your work is exceptional . You find out how to get the job done with the tools you have on hand i love too watch you work little Vera is so cute the way she finds out how to solve it out on her own .You must be very proud of her .Good luck and ALOHA .

[@heinergforce8432]

It looks like your daughter is very interested in building boats. How about building a Sailing Dinghy with her? That would definitely be a great project until the big boat is finished and you could even use it later on. Could even be a nesting Dinghy like the West Port Pram.

[@Buzzcook]

Well it's about time you got some work out of Vera. ;-) Watching the process is fascinating. You do good work.

[@judd_s5643]

I have extensive experience building experimental fiberglass aircraft (man rated). This hull layup would cause me great anxiety. I don't know if you have done large layups before, but they can get out of hand quickly when the epoxy starts setting up. My biggest concern is how you're going get the fiberglass to lay across the bevel and then go inboard for that 2-4 inches (the part you routed out today). On a hand laid up aircraft we would rotate the fuselage 45 degrees so that all glass will maintain contact with the foam. Do one side, let it cure, then rotate and do the other. Obviously, you can't do this. Something to think about. - That epoxy pump (I have the same one) will not be able to keep up with the demands for this big layup! - Winters coming which will complicate the layup process. - You're going to need a lot of experienced people to help you. I have seen complete disasters when well-meaning help .... helped. A person experienced in shooting Chop or PrePeg wouldn't necessarily be much help. You need someone that understands fiber orientation and can work quickly. I'd recommend you connect with your local Experimental Aircraft Association chapter. There certainly should be competent help available. - Preplanning is imperative, have all your glass precut, hull/glass/epoxy at the right temperature. Lots of throw away gloves and razor blades! - ABOVE all have a huge roll of PEEL-PLY at the ready if this starts going south. Sure glad I'm going to be a spectator on this one. When you pull this off you're going to be a rockstar! Good Luck. 🙂

[@thomearle1294]

You guys are amazing! Thank you for sharing with us.

[@leighmarkey6679]

Please consider sanding after pulling off the peel ply. Or wait and use peel over top of the glass. It’s been proven that peel ply leaves residue that will weaken the next bonding. A light sanding should always follow peel ply. Especially important in this case seeing it be the initial bond between wood and glass.

[@jonathanm8197]

Hi Ran guys. I'm also currently building a sandwich-construction boat (a 25ft catamaran). In my case, the core is a mixture of timber (oak, pine, and spruce) and plywood. One problem I've had while glassing the hulls is that, if the epoxy is applied to a sideways/vertical timber surface, there are small bubbles that are very hard or impossible to fill. If epoxy is applied to a flat/horizontal surface, you can just pop the bubbles and keep adding epoxy until there are no more bubbles. But, if there are bubbles on a vertical surface, popping them and applying more epoxy over and over doesn't always fill the hole. I just wanted to warn you about this now, so you can think about it before glassing. Maybe peel ply will solve the problem, or maybe your cedar will make fewer bubbles than my oak. Hope this helps.

[@jonathanm8197]

FYI, Kevin Boothby (How to Sail Oceans channel on KZbin) solves the problem of epoxying holes in vertical surfaces using tape funnels (see episode 227). Hope this helps

[@geoffworthington9425]

Great progress enjoy watching

[@McTroyd]

I'd love to take a 4x4 ripping around that farm land, now that there's no plants to run over. 😅 Ship-shaping's showing ship shape! 👍

[@chrisstephen4563]

Big milestone. Well done you guys

[@jamesmorken3356]

Timing would be great to get vera a brother or sister for your future voyages. Love your content!!❤

[@gaflaview6476]

Great drone shots. Vera is a great help. That transom is above my pay grade, good going.

[@davidcogan9163]

Beautiful job on the hull she will look amazing when done David Australia 🦘
