Our FASTEST Sail EVER - Ep. 306 RAN Sailing

Join the RAN Sailing crew ~ for livestreams, exclusive content & more
/ ransailing
Welcome to an extra long episode with a lot of sailing! :) After checking out in Union Island and a last dinner on the beach in Chatham Bay we set sail towards Bonaire. It’s a 410 NM long passage which we calculate to take close to three days. The sailing is great, downwind with flat seas and a strong current making us doing great speed. Johan shows and explains how we use our whisker poles and do the set up. The sail is so fast that we arrive much earlier and make landfall in Bonaire in the evening two days laters. We’re back in these beautiful waters!
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!

Hi guys! We hope you enjoyed this longer episode with a lot of sailing content 😊 Any other sailors that use this set up for whisker poles?

[@nick.caffrey]

Great episode. Had me hooked all the way through.

[@oschonrock]

Yeah, very similar. Just not with a roll main, so actually have to gybe it.

[@deraneaton2576]

I've only seen that setup using a single pole, and then in a racing context when more crew is available to work the sheets and sails while the foredeck handles the pole and topping lift. Especially busy during a bearaway spinanker set...

[@jonnykjrland725]

Takk, eg lærte noe nytt.😊

[@shreksswamp9001]

Hi Guys, I don't know what the sails are called, because I'm not a sailor, but I've seen Delos use two whisker poles, but instead of a main sail out they hitch up the two front sails at the bow to both the whisker poles. They have the main sail furled in completely. it looks great and in the right weather conditions the boat is quite stable.

[@timdunn2387]

A Viking, alone on the deck of his longboat. What a privilege to be invited along. Thank you.

[@rmweiss12]

There are really only 3 sailing channels on KZbin that are worth watching. Ran, the old sea dog and Patrick Laine. Good content, professional production and nice, non pretentious people. Keep it up!

[@nooneanybodyknows1321]

I appreciate you taking the time on the deck to explain the sail configuration, where the lines run, and the ins and out of the setup.👍 That was a fantastic, fast, fun sail. ⛵

[@RANSailing]

We're glad you enjoyed it 🙂

Well said! I am also here to learn how to invest after listening to a lady on tv talk about the importance of investing and how she made 7 figure in 3 month, somehow the video taught me nothing and left me even more confused, I'm a newbie and I'm open to ideas on how to invest for retirement

Investment now will be wise but the truth is investing on your own will be a high risk. I think it will be best to get a professional👌

Ran, Uma and Delos with the trifecta of amazing videos all on the same day.

Vera's singing at the rail was precious!

[@michaelvanwinkle7919]

I really enjoyed seeing Johan changing the main and foresail to prepare and execute the Jibe.

[@edrosenberger6947]

Johan is a excellent teacher and I always gain sailing knowledge when I come here....thank you!

[@suep4530]

I am enjoying see all the sights I might never see otherwise!! Thank you! Vera is becoming quite the young lady!!

[@rayallen1479]

What a pleasure watching Ran II being used as she was intended with such truly competent seafarers at her helm. Little Vera has such awesome days in front of her! Greetings from Anacortes…

[@RANSailing]

Thanks Ray!

[@cmors]

Such a nice boat, hard to believe she’s from 1988.

[@Sdelgado0267]

Great episode. I have to say that I wished that I could take sailing lessons with Johan. He is so knowledgeable and has the right temperament for this. Also Malin and Johan, you guys are doing a great job raising Vera.

[@Sarasdad91]

Wonderful video. Longer than usual and very welcoming as well. Thank you Johan, Malin and Vera.

[@scottwheeler2494]

Loved the sailing! It’s why I watch sailing channels.

[@bobgilbert7362]

Fantastic voyage and fantastic videography! Vera and the wing-on-wing handling details were icing on the floating cake.

Vera singing towards the island, one with nature.

You all do such a wonderful job in your story telling and your production. First rate all around! TY

[@guymanges3628]

Thank you guys for 306...

[@johnkyd3977]

I always enjoy following your travels, but as a sailor, the technical parts of your videos like your wing on wing rigging are an added bonus. Thank you.

[@ffgaivota]

I am not a sailor and i know nothing about sailing but i really enjoy your videos. You doing a good job and hope you continue to bring us every week such a interesting videos. Thank you.

[@garye4145]

I been following your adventures from when you first left Sweden and your content never gets old. Love to watch and even learn new things from you and I. It's great to watch your daughter grow up while on the boat and it sure looks like she is comfortable with sailing. Stay safe and fair winds to all of you.

[@moz1953]

a very happy midsummer's day guys, hope you are safe and sound back in Sweden 🥂

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Vera singing to the wind....🥰😁😇 Love the moonlight sailing shots... time and tide in one image.

[@mikaelwestergaard2289]

Bring the sailing on, I love it 👍🇩🇰

[@Lifes-Adventures]

Awesome video! I love the setup you have with the two wisker poles on the mast. It’s great the way you explain the sail changes.

[@kevinbwillson4161]

Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful

[@HellyWelly93]

I've been on a boat that used a whisker pole once, and it was so awesome!

[@scottshure3389]

I What a great sail. You make it look easy. It’s so relaxing to watch a well prepared boat sailed by a knowledgeable crew.

[@donnakawana]

Wow, what a fast sail is right... I love the ease of use the set up of your whole sail system... Just really well thought out... Vera is adorable with her lil french braids. Hearing her singing an just growing up... An Momma an Daddy your both such amazing parents an humans.. I really love your channel.. Thanks again for sharing your lives with us ✌🏼💗😊❣️

[@dingo397]

Really enjoyed this one....Nobody on you tube explains things like Yohan...In my opinion. Thank you !! The sailing was wonderful.

[@GoMrBob]

great video! it's so hard to show the actual sailing in a meaningful way, but I think you guys did an amazing job in this video. well done.

[@jamesbillington5058]

What a wonderful sail. Great speed. Also, thank you for the whisker-pole instructions. Very helpful.

[@philmay113]

Thanks for sharing your process for tacking while wing on wing sailing, always wondered how you would approach that!

You cant beat tomato soup with croutons , excellent food , easy on the stomach . good food for first day back out in the ocean. Excellent videos as usual !!

[@RANSailing]

It's tasty and simple to prepare 🙂 Thanks for watching!

[@gardensofthegods]

I've never seen a swiveling stove top in action before but I guess that makes all the difference and all the sense in the world .

[@americanbornwalkaway9110]

Very cool....

[@valspannbauer3334]

Another episode that my husband & I thoroughly enjoyed!!!! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us, & we get to watch Vera grow up before our eyes, but not too fast. Malin & Vera are lovely & also in their braids!!! Stay safe!!! 💕

[@debdoyle119]

Great sailing

[@jameslesliejr.5636]

Getting enough exercise is crucial. 👍 Thanks for the sailing tips. Another excellent video. ⛵⛵👍

[@windonwater3895]

Thank You! Yes, I loved all the sailing. It was great to see that controlled jibe. You have some great equipment that lets Johan talk in such a calm voice while out on the foredeck in all that wind. My whisker pole is stored on deck and a pain to set up - so I seldom use it. Ron

[@MrPaulcm1]

Wow, what fantastic views on your walk Johan. Vera singing was so cute. Beautiful sunset. Great sailing, some beautiful night shots. Love the vlog :)

[@RajeshSingh-Bhangu]

Awesome

[@jimmusson]

The gimbaled sail change video was great. Lots of rolling.

[@HNDevelopments]

Your best episode so far. I sometime skip through so i can just watch the sailing and maintenance!

[@walterwinn2842]

Excellent job guys.

[@retiredfederalie178]

We. Ever had two poles but anytime we did wing on wing we pole out. I like the idea of twin poles tho makes single handing easier.

[@malgraham351]

Loved it

[@marekhrin3034]

Loved it guys. Great video!

[@leeluck1968]

Very nice sail!. Also interesting to see the change of the sail position at full sea. It’s a real pleasure to both enjoy and learn from these videos. Thanks a lot!

[@torreym]

I loved the details of changing over the whisker pole. Great video!

[@Ourgrandvacation2023]

Great episode. 👏🏻

[@lancedaniels]

Thanks for posting and sharing. It was so nice to watch you sail all the way from where you began, to your destination. It felt like a kindness that you shared rather than leaving viewers hanging part way through the passage. My cousin and his wife have been to Bonaire several times to scuba dive. They like it because they say you can walk into the ocean and scuba. You do not have to take a boat out to reach very nice places.

[@gregsutton2400]

Great Video!

[@UziRyder1]

Great episode.

[@bengt_axle]

(7:47) Your boat is rocking so much, yet the soup is barely moving in the pot!

[@RANSailing]

That's thanks to the gimballed stove 🙂

[@danielsondavidf]

Excellent planning and sail management. Any fishing as you reposition?

[@johnbrown9623]

Awesome episode

[@larrymacaluso9051]

Another great video, Johan thanks for explaining the sail set up, Ran II just seems to cut through the water like a race boat. Thanks for sharing.

[@piepirate4u]

Love the sail setting. Great episode . However, I don’t understand why you wouldn’t simply fly a spinnaker.

[@nessuno1948]

Beautiful boat.

Nice sailing

[@kristaready8812]

That was such a relaxing episode. The sound of the waves and your relaxed vibe is wonderful!
