It's more than just a stick standing on your boat - Ep. 231 RAN Sailing

[@garyl4538]

Who knew how complex the design and manufacturing could be! This was a great education and fun to see "your" mast being prepared.

[@ianhamilton396]

Love this !! Only on RAN Sailing can you see a very talented mast designer who is also keeping the 1980's Rock & Roll Mullet alive in 2020!!!!!!!!!

[@donnakawana]

Wow no matter how much we think is machine done. It's still a ? person behind that machine or tool doing the Craft of craftsmanship... This was amazing!!!

[@hansschweikert9153]

I'm blown away by the mast discussion at Selden. Thank you for educating the community.

[@SVImpavidus]

We have to say again; Our Selden in mast furling system has been faultless. Follow their owners manual and you will not go wrong. The gass kicker and the boom with twin sheet has been a joy to sail even coming from a racing background the ability to shape the main sail is comprehensive giving those few extra knots and being able to make landfall before dark without the engine. The extra track in the mast enables you to deploy a storm sail or additional sail should you chose. The oly wear we have had is on the goose neck from boom twist. It would be good to see a replaceable bushing engineered or included in the design. Sail Safe Guys, Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.

[@adam56usa]

Really like your channel. You’re honest. No clickbait. The baby is beautiful! Have a warm and safe Christmas.

[@jeffreysearle2996]

Ok let’s talk about the real talent here, it’s not the mast designer or the Builder, I think the real talent is the camera women shooting the video while holding a toddler, Now that’s talent, we won’t even talk about feeding the baby while steering in a channel. 😎😎

[@thefullmonte1902]

And Vera, the professional baby not crying in the middle of the interview!

[@olafurolafsson8498]

Very informative video. The 12 points go to the fantastic woman holding the baby and the camera. Congrats on the new mast.

[@yachticus]

how can you not love the Selden approach to engineering - no sales - all hard facts - like it or lump it.you would have to take some confidence that this will continue to work- in the worst of situations. grateful for your access to this team - thank you

[@annewinning9723]

That mast is a work of art - what a great investment !

[@AirnFire1111]

Great sailing channel. Love your videos; the integrity, the humanity, no fake or created drama. Keep up the good work.

[@yachticus]

is it possible for that child to be any more adorable - blessings to you both ( read three)

[@billb.6109]

Thank You for sharing such a informative Ep., Your mast truly is a work of art, and engineering wonder. Safe travels.

[@bubbagail7450]

That's rather amazing how much goes into the making of a mast. Vera looks right at the camera when you are recording like she knows exactly who you are talking to, really cute. Merry Christmas guys.

[@trebledog]

Whenever I watch anything re sailing either in Sweden or Norway, I always wish I was born Swedish. So I can visit and work in any of a number of these commissioning shops.

[@dirtknocker2587]

Your channel has a lot of good information! As well as giving us a look into a life we wish we could have! Thank you!

[@wendykerley3019]

A very happy birthday to Vera she's beautiful.

I don't think there could be a better advert for Selden than this video. Informative and nicely presented. I really hope they know how to appreciate it :)

[@Graeme408]

I know I am preaching to the choir but I feel compelled to encourage you on your continued ventures. You two are a delight to watch, all three of you have talents on another level above way above me and for that I am delighted and impressed. Your english is surprising in its accuracy, timing, and use of both grammar and some uniquely American English colloquial expressions. Finally I am pleased to watch the very good quality craftsmanship. Your attention to detail is not often found and impressive to watch. Many thanks, from a loyal viewer in Maryland, United States, near Wash. DC

[@icehog3454]

I love it. Vera is so cute. She knows what the camera is all about. Stares and smiles right at it. Your boat is amazing and all the improvements you are making is making it the much better. Cheers 🥂

[@TravellingSunglasses]

Super interesting! Thank you for educating and entertaining us. And a big high five to Malin for filming while holding Vera in the carrier!!

[@MarcStjames-rq1dm]

What a great benefit that the companies must want to do their very best knowing that they will be seen on this program and could be great adwise.

[@DellHell1]

Very interesting and I'm so glad that the guys could speak English because English is the only language I can understand!

[@corujariousa]

Johan, I always admire your positive attitude towards work and skills. Complaining gets us nowhere, right? Stay strong, healthy and together. Peace and prosperity to the entire family and a little kiss on Vera’s cheek. So beautiful! ☺️

[@fransdriesen1311]

Very informative and well explained...love these technical reviews...

[@clidiere]

Amazing.. A winch talking to a furler! Making new holes in the deck because the new hardware doesn't fit: the story of my life!

[@philgray1023]

That's nothing. I talk to all my deck hardware, do you think that darned traveler takes the blind bit of notice of anything I say.

[@davidcoleman4800]

Seldén has for so long been the gold standard in masts (and especially in-furling masts), it was so awesome to see why. And It was really fun to see the actual place and people that make it happen.

[@fillg]

My parents aren't interested in sailing but I showed them one of your videos a while back and now every time I'm at their house they want to see your videos. They always enjoy the scenery and the way you tell your story, also Vera has become a highlight for them (such a cutie). I've shown them other sailing channels but you guys are the only ones they ever ask about.

[@mosca3289]

Very confidence inspiring seeing the workers talk about their product.

[@davidc6510]

This was a very interesting episode and I enjoyed watching the detail of your mast build at Selden. Thanks for sharing!

[@tarivard]

Fractional design is awesome. I have a fractional rig and I use it exactly as they describe. I fly a gennaker with the higher mounted halyard. You can use the second line as a topping lift for your whisker pole.

[@passinthru4328]

Only one hour to cut and grind all the holes in that 23m mast, not counting the time required to do all the measuring and programming of the CNC machine to accommodate the boat measurements and new sails. That's impressive!

[@victormagnusson244]

Another great Friday video. I like your coastal sailing of Sweden , and your review of it’s history,geography and communities. Greetings again from 🇨🇦

[@kirstyjjamieson]

Great watch - I lot heaps. Thank you for sharing.

[@carterbentley9030]

I had no idea how complex a mast could be. Happy Holidays!

[@EricSmith-lf6cz]

That was a lot of fun. Your excitement was clearly evident in the video and that just made it exciting for me. I can't wait to see it installed.

[@OldManGibb]

Great Video, I really enjoy watching true Craftsmen describing there work. Can't wait till the next video. A massive Happy Christmas / Yule and a Great New Years to you all.

[@SailingWylde]

Thank you all for your wonderful videos, you've been a true inspiration for our family to start sailing!

[@jimmcdonald9244]

That new mast is really something! Johan and Malin you'll appreciate the ease of use when you're running after Vera at the same time. Well done guys!

[@funnyglow2096]

The scenery is so beautiful and stunning.Very enjoyable! Reminds me of my trips where I take the good music like the Guns N Roses, Imagine Draongs or the Delta Parole and then enjoy the powerful feeling of the sea. ¡vamos!

[@atakd]

Great video. Selden make excellent spars, their internal batten car system is superb. Good tip on trapping spi halyard behind the spreaders, as well.

[@richardzastrow6354]

Yes, I learned something new. Thank you for the tour of the Selden mast plant

[@tomcole7688]

Fascinating to watch and listen to a master craftsman describe what he has built for a very knowledgeable customer! Fair winds to the Ran II crew and Merry Christmas!

[@jb9090]

Very generous of Selden to spend some time with you for your channel. They’re craftsmen and gentlemen. I would have enjoyed seeing how the mast is formed from raw metal but that’s another story

[@sm6wet]

They buy the extrusion from a extrusion company.

[@jonasgamborn9255]

Good luck with your rigging project! Merry christmas from Jonas/Selden Mast

[@BRuas9080]

It was very interesting to see your work and the factory. I also have a Selden furling mast on my boat, but mine is manual. I was not aware of the setup with the electrical motors.

[@ps4peace]

Been in enjoying learning so much with Ran II, she'll be standing tall in no time!

[@portfoliofotoz]

That was an absolutely fascinating episode. Thank you, and big props to Selden for helping you bring it to us.

[@AustinBoil]

VERY cool video, I really enjoyed listening to all the details that go into one of those "sticks". This will give you all kinds of setup options & ease of sail configuration changes underway. Exciting stuff, now let's stand the stick up on the boat!

[@lancedaniels]

Thanks for posting and sharing. Very interesting to see your new mast, hear from the people who discussed the masts with you, and accompany you on the tour you went on at the factory.

[@trevhedges]

Thanks again guys!

[@americanbornwalkaway9110]

NICE to Check out the new Mast!!!!! Great to See Vera and her Beautiful Smile....THANKS for Sharing

[@sm6wet]

10:20 That was so funny. For those who just dont know about Swedish accents in English this man is talking typical Gothenburg dialect English or what is also called Volvo English. Never thought I'd hear that on a cruising channel. Hey Johan, who makes the extrusions? Guessing its SAPA? How come noone in the cruising world knows how to pronounce Seldén? Thank you for a great episode. Very interesting.

[@michaelstroud2279]

I loved this episode the technicalities of building a mask and making it all work all the parts in unison

[@johnbrown-cn8uh]

Loved the video . The information was very valuable to sailboat owners with old mast like I have. thank you for sharing.

[@meemo32086]

Johan, I can see in you the genetics of those early Vikings. They planned every detail which in turn pushed them into a superior sailing ship that won them so much wealth and glory. There must be salt water in your veins! Impressive!! A very Merry Christmas to you all!! Thanks you for teaching us all so very much!! Be safe!! Kisses to Vera!!😘❤💕💞

[@pantera6672]

SIR you are definitely a Viking :) PEACE be with you always

[@bayanicustodio3998]

Another thing I learnt about Swedish industry through you guys 👍🙂 Happy Holidays for your family.

[@tomwilliams8675]

That was an interesting tour. Thanks to the Selden people for letting us see their manufacturing plant. Did you install a forward looking camera up on the mast? Now would be the time 🤔🤗 Maybe ask Santa before it's too late🎅 Merry Christmas and happy holidays, it has been wonderful watching your family and your channel grow. 🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@jackhanaway8367]

If not a camera then maybe some coax cabling for when you do decide to do it.. Santa can do it I'll bet!

wow what a interesting tutorial on the mast and how everything works. I have never seen a video as good as this before that breaks it down. Good Job Vera. all the best guys. merry xmas. xx

[@robertw.1499]

Fantastic insight, and I could see you could hardly contain your excitement to get it installed 💪👏💪

Thank you for sharing, like others have said it was nice that it was able to be done in English. Looks like you're going to get a great new mast!

[@unclebob6728]

Thank You! GO RAN!

[@erichcollar9810]

Again, I was riveted to this type of episode. Johan looks like it's Christmas. Nice work Selden and nice work camera person with the junior apprentice.

[@Al.W7263]

"I'm grown up now." Great reply.

[@ProudMary53]

A great informative and very interesting video. Thank you very much for the insight on different masts. Cheers Pete

[@davidmartin978]

Very nice. I can't wait to see it automated in action.

[@junemartin1475]

Happy holidays to you all!🎄 Really enjoy your videos.

[@davehoover8853]

Always enjoyed making improvements to the boat and getting things just right for comfortable cruising. This mast is a whole other level though! Love the way the factories in Sweden work!

[@paulbadger6336]

Well done 👍. Very informative and interesting. It seems like you have chosen a company that will provide you with the perfect product to fit your needs and the confidence of longevity. I like your style.

You guys are great.

[@dennismiller5725]

Amazing piece of equipment, and huge technichle advance since I started sailing in the 1960s!

[@michaels1997]

Fascinating discussion, great to see such expertise in action and humbling that everyone was doing this in English, brilliant episode!! Christmas wishes from the UK!

[@allsearpw3829]

Hi ,YES it is a little more than a stick , a fine piece of engineering ,just to catch a free puff of wind ,that can take you any where in the world . Wait until some clever clogs ,decides to put a tax on it . Well I will never look at a mast in same way again ,they will have to be up there with a young lady in a swim suit . Nature plays a part in all things , mine is two shiny props taken off our rib .polished and stand each side of our fire place until Easter and the it is time to go boating again . Thanks for ride along with the three of you ,stay safe take care . A mast for all seasons for all the right reasons enjoy .

[@normanboyes4983]

That was fascinating and a great tour of the Selden facility. Looks like you are going to have a 'spiffy' set up.

[@moz1953]

interesting stuff for sure, my favourite moment, as always, was Vera's adorable smile 😄 at 8:39, thanks again for ALL your vlogs this year, stay safe and a god Jul 🌲 XxX

[@pkane5472]

I can't hit enough "likes". Somebody fix that! What a wonderful episode. I was grinning the whole time listening to the mast builder talk about his amazing craft. Masts are now computerized. What next? My goodness!

[@JDHood]

The camera REALLY loves Vera! She is a natural!

[@billylallen2662]

That was really fun and interesting for us too. Thank you for giving us something interesting to learn.

[@robw2379]

That seems pretty slick... especially the mast furler coordinating with the out haul. On the other hand, I can't be the only one watching this thinking "wow, that is some fancy machinery that when it breaks, it will be a bad and expensive problem." I hope that your reality is better than my trepidation. Happy sailing.
