This Anchor Is NOT Going To Fall Off! - Ep. 198 RAN Sailing

[@budnorton2778]

I know I’m way behind with the episodes but I thank you for letting me tag along and be a part of the crew at least the way you film the show makes me me feel like I’m there

[@larryboles629]

Being the Mother and Father suits you two so well. It seems you both have this content look about you. Be happy, be safe.

[@tombarker3608]

The boat that is your home gets much better care than most houses. I don't remember the last time I washed my windows. Vera is such a sweetheart I look forward to watching her grow. Glad to see the weather finally change for the better. Always safe travel you three.

[@mariemorrissey9378]

Vera = Instant Happiness Thank You for for us the videos! #ILOVERANSAILING

[@donnakawana]

I truly adore the 3 of you...Vera is getting so big an so cute as ever....smiling an just getting big...she's a true blessing your both great parents!!! I love watching the upgrades you've done the boat she's just such your floating home so beautifully done!!!

[@robinhodgkinson]

I remember you losing your anchor. Four years ago! Can’t believe I’ve been watching your videos so long. Looking forward to more of your adventures. Cheers

[@jimczerwinski4951]

Been watching you for four years or more. Love your posts. Great little addition to the crew. Sail safe.

[@annewinning9723]

Vera is such a beautiful little girl, and seems so content and happy just like her parents. Stay safe and well

[@JamesHigham]

anne winning I’m thinking though she’d feel so secure with this guy as her partner, quite quietly formidable. Just wish them both the best.

[@daemonlowry4935]

You two plus tiny Vera never cease to amaze me and make my week a bit brighter....thank you.

[@davidbutler5114]

We have 4 daughters and watching you with Vera reminds me of that time in life with each of them. Thank you for the gift you have given me today.

[@prof.m.ottozeeejcdecs9998]

Hey Malin, Johan and Vera... it will fit, it's all a matter of organizing it 🤭 ! I remember my last move from a house to an apartment... 102 cartons of stuff, 40+ paintings, plenty of books, ha ha. You'll do it. Sails look nice. Boat looks great! Be safe and well! Looking forward to another episode of house cleaning and organizing. Cheers! ⛵️

[@marksalminen7050]

Your videos provide relief from the house arrest we're going through here in the US. Thank you.

[@gandalffrosch5366]

Thank you for this video. There is one little thing - please doublecheck the block in the top of the mast. Normally there is a difference between a mast-box-block for wire and or rope. Those for wire are more V-shape and might damage the dyneema. All the best!!

[@paulbadger6336]

Always end up smiling even after 4 1/2 years watching you document and share your life. Thank you 🙏

[@davidmiller2179]

What a little sweetheart.

[@ackack612]

Well, it's been 4 1/2 years of great viewing. And, you keep adding to your catalog.

[@stevekinney7423]

Congratulations and thank you on providing such fascinating videos for four and a half years. I must go back and view the early adventures.

[@tracksidebc5854]

Vera is such a little sweetie!

[@alanlovesmusic6442]

love that smile !!

[@vraymond108]

Great going, almost 100K subscribers! If you want to feel better about all the stuff on your boat, come and see ours. Between tools, spares, previous owners stuff and and naturally our stuff we are loaded. Not sure I told you but Peter Smith who designed the Rocna anchor completed our boat for the first owner in UK. His own Kiwi Roa coming afterwards has a lot of similarities but not the swinging keel. BTW Viera is a real cutie and we hope to meet her in person one day if we can ever get back to Europe.

[@michaelbakker5314]

4 and a half years of videos.... I have been following you video's for 4 years now. And every time there is a video out it is a joy to whatch. Keep it up this way, can wait to see your summer trip around sweden. Gr from the netherlands🖐🖐

[@miles4874]

Vera is so pretty and sweet natured and y’all seem like perfect parents.....just wow. Johan, I’m sure you left your heat gun out when you narrowed down your tools....it always works that way!....keep all tools! Stay safe y’all, the boat is looking SO good too. What a great team you make.

[@dreadnoughtb3364]

Getting closer to the 100K subscribers GO RAN!

[@dianes4858]

Wow! Four & a half years already?! I’ve been watching since the beginning. I love your videos. Stay safe. 💖

[@13jq]

Now that you have a little bit of time .... I think you should manufacture an extension for your bow. That anchor looks like it will clip the boat when the chain is loosen to let the anchor go. That looked really tight. With waves rocking that boat....It's gonna go BANG!!! 10:39

[@richardnwilson]

Thanks for another great video! When you're getting rid of stuff never ever ever get rid of any tools!

[@doncarson5887]

I lived full time in a motor home for 12 years and understand how you could collect STUFF over time. Love you new boat! Can’t wait till you start sailing again.

[@Gamecockinnc1]

Another good part of sailing around Sweden first is you can switch out cold-cool weather bear and warm weather gear plus make adjustments on what you need from storage and what you don’t need. 😊

[@georgebetar923]

Happy baby! Congratulations...

[@capndenito3101]

When Vera first made her appearance in this vid, she just made me smile away?, she's a little treasure, keep safe, keep going!

[@sailingthecosmos191]

Thank you for another good video. Yeah, it's nice when the weather turn in the north, boat work is so much easier. So funny with the cutback to when you guys were in the canaries. All love from Denmark, stay safe , stay happy

[@steelboat2436]

Yeah, but the cutback from Hawaii is a/was bit scary.

[@Ruffway64]

I just love you 3 beautiful souls! Im so excited to get sailing and see your wonderful country

[@john951753]

I haven't seen such a big and beautiful smile since i drove school bus and i was taking the elementary kids home on a Friday afternoon

[@jimwalker5941]

Vera has such a beautiful smile. She is going to bring a lot of additional joy to the Channel. Thank you for your videos and be well.

[@RoyalAtenea]

Your boat is getting the love it needed, she's thanking you, great job and keep it up.

[@Chris-fo8wp]

A brush is the worst thing you can do to teak decks....use a 3M Doodlebug pad, the white soft ones, it will not pull the fiber out of the grain..also TDS, Teak Decking Systems, makes a good non corrosive, bio degradable teak cleaner, and their sealer works really nice as well!! Fair Winds and Blue Skies!!

[@deraneaton2576]

Johan, Malin, Vera is wayyy too cute! A total charmer... :-) I appreciate the way you clean teak. When I crewed the Cheoy Lee 44 'Aviva', my job in the middle of July (full summer Sun) was to sand every square millimeter of the teak deck -- with a belt sander -- under standing orders never to breathe on the gelcoat for that captain's fear of scratching it. Felt like being told to dance ballet on eggshells while playing rugby -- and Bligh looking over one's shoulder throughout. When the anchor drops unplanned, the rancor goes up -- an episode well remembered. I hope that new one -- almost a figurehead, it fits so well -- behaves better with a proper shackle. Seeing how you use springs on RAN II's dock lines, might it be prudent to rig one to the anchor, too, when underway? Fair winds, following seas, RAN II! S/V 'Windwalker'

[@thierrydanz1893]

Johan, when you replaced the main halyard with a dyneema line did you check the sheave in the top of the mast. If it is one designed for a wire halyard it has a groove in it. That will cause chafe on a dyneema halyard.

[@mikeh720]

@1:43 Vera is so cute! Such a smile ❤

[@gregkarkowsky967]

You guys remind me so much of my nephew and his wife. Its amazing how people all over the world are the same.

[@RVLifeNOW]

That’s one big anchor! We love our Manson...but there are a lot of good anchors out there..it’s the chain and swivel you have to be really careful of. But where you are there is at least no bad Chinese chain! -Rebecca

[@M-Swede]

Johan just cleaning the deck and yet it is all so calming. This is the channel were the work week slowly fades away. Thank you!

[@corujariousa]

Baby sailor looks so beautiful! Work...Work... Work. Stay strong, together and safe.

[@donb4386]

I always learn something from your videos and feel a bit more edumacated when done.

[@SVZonda]

As in Where in the world is Waldo, at 13:36......... where in the car is Vera? Magic. All the best Richard

[@raygorinski4422]

Hi, an anchor should not be attached directly to the swivel, it should have a few links of chain in between,so if the boat swings say 90 degrees and you pull the anchor up it doesn't side load the swivel. They are strong in a straight pull but weak in a side ways pull. Love your channel. Be safe.

[@jeffwrinkle575]

Almost to 100K subscribers. Great channel, great people making great content.

[@occumedge4031]

Such A beautiful child, she is always smiling and laughing.

[@evantaylor7465]

lovely boat

[@billb.6109]

We enjoyed your video, and can't wait for your sailing adventure to start, please stay safe and well.

[@38below39]

Thank you guys // looks like your going to hit 100 thousand subscribers Congratulations

[@alanlovesmusic6442]

nice anchor. don't lose that one ! It's a big one.

[@Pulitnt]

Hey guys, just found out your channel yesterday... and probably watched half the episodes since then! :) Thanks a lot for sharing, your story is quite amazing and inspiring!

[@johnfoster3286]

Stuff. I find as soon as I sell it I need it again even though it had not been used for years.

[@RoscoeJames]

Nice to see you getting back into the routine of normalcy after the big changes in your lives. First child, new boat, and the current geo situation. Thumbs up. A nice escape for us, your viewers.

[@johnjohnson8531]

Glad to see all is well, baby doing good you two are living my dream so happy for you guys travel careful

[@Sailordudeayeaye]

Almost 100K subscribers! It is amazing how much stuff you can stuff into a small space!

[@jbibb1963]

Getting me excited to hit the boat this weekend and follow your lead on Spring prep! Loved the lightness of the full cockpit enclosure! What a wonderful place to enjoy a meal. Thanks you guys!

[@rickczainski9856]

I'll always remember the anchor overboard episode. I now double check mine. I must say your videos are among if not the best on KZbin. I continually am impressed and envy at your life. Sto Lat!

[@espowari]

Been watching the channel for a very long time. Glad to see the continued adventures of the RAN!

[@richardshippful]

What a beautiful smile on little Vera.

[@sparrowhawk3894]

Vera is so beautiful and a happy baby......you have a blessing.

[@billbaker9623]

There is a well known law of physics that says, "Stuff will always expand to fill the available volume." It's like gravity; it's always there and there is nothing that you can do about it. :-)

[@ABeriault]

Still fun and entertaining! Cheers and be covid free!

[@yrwynt6672]

Rocna recommend not using a swivel, but if you do, they say to add a bit of chain between it and anchor as well.

[@russwilbanks7946]

Such a lovely video! Looking forward to watching you all grow together on your travels!

[@CadohaAdventures]

Boats coming along really well, good work. We've got an oversized Mantus anchor on our boat which gives up piece of mind when we're anchored 👌🏻

[@JustMe-pp1mp]

Hello and THUMBS UP for two great people. Thanks for letting me follow your adventures. Glad to see you out and about, stay healthy. :-)

[@markturner2646]

The boat really shined up good. Can't wait until you start sailing again !!

[@geekdomo]

OMG her smile made my day

[@MrAjamjar]

Very relaxing to watch your spring cleaning and great top tips on the teak cleaning, thank you. Your Najad 44 is looking absolutely lovely. That Rocna anchor fits like a glove! Love your vids. Thats how it is. 😊

[@stony7827]

a very nice boat, and: really a nice family - my best regards from austria

[@ianmcfadden4709]

every one of your videos have been great the four years have gone by very quickly cant wait for your cruising season to start (properly) see you next week

[@claudiah5643]

Love your channel! I’m proud to be a patron.

[@WanderingKnapps]

New to your channel. We are fellow liveaboards. We are currently in the Florda Keys. We too just bought a new mantus anchor. See yall later. Chris, Jolene, Carter, Chase and Caleb

[@carlthor91]

Still keep the Bruce. Best wishes. Cheers all

[@davidc3312]

Your baby has a great personality.

[@FTATF]

I have broken those swivels before. good call on that. it is certainly the weak point. I am a charter fisherman and i anchor a lot. I pull the anchor with a buoy and a ring when its snagged so that does put some torque on it. I also run a Breakaway, but i would sleep with one...

[@larryreiner1427]

I watched with interest as you loaded all your goods onto your new 44 footer. Do you keep an inventory of what you have aboard and where it is located. I watched a sailing episode where the skipper could not find what he needed and had to buy a new one.

[@dmack1827]

Ran II is looking really good. It is always fun to make something yours! Expensive, but fun. Best to you all.

[@bubbagail7450]

Great video guys, you are really getting Ran II ready for some serious sailing this season. Stay safe.

[@seanhaugen5258]

Another great episode! Getting so close to 100k subs, and the silver play button!!

[@FF7824]

Very nice! All the best to you.

[@bryanandlaginalaswell1736]

Well done.

[@Diggers57]

Nice, thank you.

[@csjmoore]

I was going to make a comment like Larry's - We had so much "stuff" on our 43' and I knew was somewhere onboard but I just could not find it. I started with an organized placement list but as time and seasons went on the list evaporated. Cheers for a good season coming up.

[@327365hp]

I have anchor envy!

[@MajTom-wd2yt]

Approaching 100k, good on 'ya. Stay Safe. Ventos justos e mar calmo ⛵️

[@tommyedodson2412]

Boat is really starting to come together and looking great.

[@peterculverwell2030]

Another great episode, thanks👍

[@suzanneouimet6977]

Good to see you working together

[@tomwilliams8675]

I forgot about the other anchor getting lost. It seems so long ago 😊 You can never have enough stuff! Especially spare parts and special tools. Looks like your spring is coming sooner than ours in Upstate New York. 🙂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@andrewberry6705]

We have the same Rocna anchor and were told very definitely not to have a swivel between chain and anchor....just straight chain to shackle to anchor. Seems they were right as we had no problems with setting or retrieval

[@waynedoeblin6801]

Long live the Rocna👍

[@guymanges3628]

Good for you three , Safety Please.

[@rollorichkid9797]

Another interesting video! I have found when changing from a wire halyard to Dynema you may find the masthead sheeve needs to be checked. The wire can leave a narrow groove and or burrs.

[@patrickjamescollins5323]

Nice vid. Thank you!

[@dw4956]

RAN Sailing Ep. 205 Raising the water line.

[@johnturner2175]

This is one of the best times to put together something every boater wishes they had. This thing is a very good investment. It does several things most importantly it saves you time and money, some people say they are one in the same. Anyone guess?? A written inventory with location or better yet an iPad sailboat inventory app.

[@FromStoneage]

100k!! almost there!!

[@billroberts9182]

You ask "When is it going to end?". My Grandpa use to say "when they pat you in the face with a spade." By the way, your child is beautiful! You are both so lucky.
