Stuck in ICE! 🥶 Will it damage the boat? - Ep. 239 RAN Sailing

[@charlesmyhill]

Malin is an accomplished chef and should think about publishing a cookbook of traditional Swedish goodies, and of the cuisine of countries you've visited. And also how to provision a boat like Ran 11 for an extended ocean crossing. Bound to be a best seller!

[@johnbaxter8569]

I love your Swedish Semlor day... and the traditional food you eat... In the UK we call it Shrove Tuesday and we eat pancakes... which we flip over in the pan... Its called tossing the pancake... I like to eat them with sugar and fresh lemon juice on the top... Another lovely episode which was full of interest... Take good care and keep warm...

[@cathyt502]

It's Fat Tuesday in Chicago, IL, day before Ash Wednesday. The sweet is a raspberry filled fried doughnut coated in sugar... called a "punchky" (not sure of Polish spelling)

[@selsyn73]

It is impressive to see how you guys handle the weather like it's just another day. Thanks for sharing another fine video. Your content is always enjoyable. Peace

[@edgeblur]

It is just another day. We have an expression "There is no bad weather, only wrong clothes."

[@philmay113]

Every time i watch your vidios i think what a gorgeous boat, she's beautiful, and you both work so well together, such knowledge on keeping your boat in very good order, thankyou once again from the old Englishman, and take care.

[@cliffstevenson5773]

So nice watching you guys putter around, cook, and upgrade Ran in the frozen harbour. Spring will come, I am pretty sure.

[@djihtiandr319]

Depends where you are …. There are places where spring come and go when you just went to buy a sandwich …and OOPS you are late! Wait for the next spring

[@stevekinney7423]

Another lovely vlog. Thanks. I'll never again complain about having to hook up a 30m hose to wash the car !

[@kentwood2914]

...can't move the boat closer to the showers...just to fill the water tank?

[@davidamato768]

Found your videos by accident. Such nice people, great videos:)

[@dantoddruns]

Thank you for sharing your culture and customs with us.

[@edwardfinn4141]

Great episode... I agree letting a i regal SS boat freeze in does not hurt it. And I have used rock salt spread on the ice beside the boat hull to reduce ice build up, especially around the rudder...

[@dennybarlau8065]

Well we had 10 days of 40 below just had a heat wave it hit 0 today as always Great Show Denny from Minnesota

[@philgray1023]

We had one day below 90F last week. We wore jackets for the first time in 4 months. I guess Queensland and Minnesota don't see eye to eye on weather.

[@daynajohnston4684]

Love watching your video updates. We live aboard and sail avidly. Hubby works at Schooner Creek Boatworks, Portland, OR, so of course we do all our own work. Additionally my grandmother was Swedish, Erickson decent, and your wife sounds just like her, love it. Wish I knew more about our Swedish family, but was skiing and sailing the world, and young to what was important. Safe sailing and manageable seas. Cheers!

[@michaelh1013]

Greetings from the other side of the Øresund. Yes ice wasn't really what we expected either. First time in 10 years up here. As you mentioned, external rudders could be an issue and mine has 2 of them ,so next winter I'll surely install install a de-icer that pumps the warm water up from the ground and keeps me sleeping with less sorrows..... So far luckily the only damage seems to be a bit of antifouling scrapped off from the waterline in first days with the ice where there was 12-14 m/s easterly wind here. Now rthe ice slowly melts away. Spring is coming! PS I recall having seen you with Adam and Camilla in a video on the Duesseldorf boat show. I took over their old HR312 some years ago and they helped out with many good tips.... The world is small. Since last summer it's a newer HR though and their old HR312 moved up to northern Sjælland.

[@scottaustin2270]

Hey guys! Love your vids for years now. I’m a full time liveaboard in Hamilton, Ontario (RHYC). There are 10 boats here and we each have our own bubbler, they work great to keep a large swath of open water. Here’s an “Ice Hack”: get a bag of salt (for sidewalks and such) and throw it around the hull. Works great in a pinch. Hope you guys stay warm! Cheers!

[@prmartin7259]

Thanks for another beautiful video. 👨‍👩‍👧⛵🧊🥞😀😃😄

[@guymanges3628]

Thank you Ran for 239..

[@jjrevelry7913]

Another great film! Watching you climb off the bow with your lifeline wires reminded me so much of my two season trip to the Baltic about five years ago! The Scandinavian way of boarding on the bow is unusual for me from the UK and took some amusing days to get familiar with I had to rig a fender-step to help with the climb!. It is fine after a while but still oddly, for such a fantastically practical society, impractical way of boarding in my experience particularly on a sailing yacht with all the foresail gear to work around. I had to load a six man life raft in cannister once and it was a hugely challenging task at the bow even with two of us. But it is a truly beautiful area to sail and I am glad you are filming it for the KZbin world to see!

[@davidc6510]

Great video. I had 3 inches (8 cm) of ice in my pool here in Texas the past week during the Arctic blast. Glad to see you are doing well in your more traditional ice blast zone. Thanks for sharing!

stay warm , I have been watching your weather via Windy cold here too Vancouver Ca -10c this week but will warm next few days some ice on our water but not as much as yours stay safe and take care

[@mitchellstadnik752]

Enjoyed, you got me reminiscing on my navy days ,on a usn submarine on a duty day one of our tasks was to bring on water every morning top off about a 1000 gal depending on how much the sonar techs would shower ,we generally did this alone ,one of the problems was the pier water psi was higher than the relief valve installed in the ships system, it was a balance of timing and knowledge to get it right ,if you failed the stakes were high ,the relief valve dumped above the captain's state room, never a good outcome

[@tlowe2502]

Thanks guys, great video. We look forward to your videos, it's always interesting. Stay warm. 👍🐾

[@lesthompson7923]

Having grown up along LI New York's Atlantic Coastline, I could relate to a satisfying familiarity with the circular ice patterns from dock pilings. It was a very warm reminder to me of "days gone by". Thank you for sharing your content with the world, and for me a now landlocked sailor!

[@markperry7842]

Ok you both are tough folks. You move around and work in that below freezing temps as if it no big deal. I’d be cold for years if I did life line work in that temp. Thank you for a fun video. I enjoy your journey very much. I’m also a fan of sailing Uma. Take care and get warm please ✌️😎⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️

[@bryonensminger7462]

With Vieira starting to stumble around you need to get some safety nets up all around the safety lines

[@jrp616]

That's a sad picture of your boat stuck in the ice. hope you get some warm sunshine soon

[@HopeOfJoe]

Johan, a little bit of a puzzle................, yet you are such a master at puzzles !! :) :)

[@webheadusa9377]

Cream Puffs here in the US, but made with pastry dough. Vera, point out to Mom & Dad that you can have the soft ingredients with or without a spoon. Mom was eating hers with a spoon. Dad was eating with his fingers, so it is okay for you to eat the soft ingredients with your fingers, too. Wonderful video! :¬) Webhead USA

Buy a new furling mast and rigging, get access to the rigger's rotary swager :) You look at home in that shop. You folks handle a little ice much better than the State of Texas.

About this time Sailing Uma over in Norway had frozen drain lines in their ice, yet their best heat source is a wood stove in the cabin.

[@McTroyd]

The Semla looked amazing!! I'm totally going to steal that. A Swedish king cake!! 🍰

[@rick7025]

Happy to see Johan did not loose his sunglasses in the water this episode. Question would he go in and retrieve them?

[@RANSailing]

Haha! 😂 I’d probably come back in summertime.

[@soarindragon603]

I've seen people use aerators placed under the hull in the winter to keep the ice from forming next to the hull. This was on lake Ontario in Toronto. I think it stops the water from freezing because it keeps it moving. I'm not sure what kind of aerator but maybe something you'd use for a koi pond in the winter would work? Maybe you need more than one but I think they should not be too expensive. You could hang it at any depth you want and center it by using two strings tied to either side of the boat and the aerator stone(?).

[@heavyduty2280]

aww I feel for that little bird walking around on the ice but I guess he's used to it

[@roscoejones4515]

Poor Vera is thinking "so where's my semla you guys?"🙄

[@stony7827]

hay Johan and Malin (....and Vera) thanks for this Video - it is certainly not easy to work on the boat under these temperatures... Kika and Dan from Sailing Uma are actual located in Trondheim ... have -19°C and much is frozzen on the boat... they had the same problem with getting fresh water as you This electric propeller seems working great - i saw this by the boat from Anna and Malin in Malmö. All the best and have still a good life on RAN-II.

[@garyfroeschner2523]

Great video

[@homer5802]

When it gets cold like that, you should open the engine compartment and put a space heater near it. And keep a close eye on your thru hulls.

[@RANSailing]

Our heater sits in the engine compartment so there’s always enough spill heat in there... 😊

This is certainly not a time I envy you and your wonderful adventure, I would not survive such cold weather. We have a low of 17 and a high of 35 degrees Celsius today.

[@alexandermenzies9954]

Great video. I was thinking about possible ice effects on the boat and you answered my thoughts. Here, near 40 S, it seems almost inconceivable to have ice on the water. Yesterday, it was 37C.

[@johnnybarbar7435]

Look into "ice eaters" for keeping open water around your boat. They are basically a small trolling motor that hangs under the boat and pushes deeper water upward and prevents icing.

[@ChristopherYoung5977]

You have a stuck pixel in the lower left corner of your camera's sensor. Love your videos!

[@paulpaul9914]

On a 1 to 100 scale what would be the approx coordinates of the stuck pixel horizontal then vertical? Found it at about 10 horizontal 10 vertical. Appears during the long hose scene but not later on during another night scene.

[@BluesAlmighty]

A simple way to keep the hull free from the ice is to use an aquarium air pump to blow fine air bubbles under the rudder

[@ldirk58601]

I am suddenly craving a pastry and a hot chocolate after this video :-)

[@sailingmohican2767]

Get a air pump and put a bubbler under the hull it keeps ice from forming around the hull ..😁

[@kentwood2914]

Would like to see the challenge with the whisker poles passing lifelines with current setup. How are the poles taken from stowed to being attached to sails that prevents them from passing forward some and missing lifelines?

[@sergueiv4596]

Nice videos!

[@jwyzdm]

Great video as usual. Thanks for the explanation of why you were not simply breaking the ice around the boat each day. I was wondering why you were not doing that because it seemed to this couch potato like the best thing to do.

[@SailingLifeonline]

Salute! Great video! The cabinet doors are sealed in the galley, is this a salvation from the cold?

Ive used those Wireteknik swaggers, really good dies. if you cut one of the swages you will see that the temperature generated by the compression of the metal fuses everything together! a least with (18x7) wire, never got around to swage (19x1)

03:00 Not sure why you didn't choose to use synthetic dyneema lifelines ? Easy to rig with brummel splices and no tooling and no corrosion and soft to the touch. Could be considered to be stronger than the wire too because diameter can be bigger.

don't woryy of ice freezing around your FGB it will not damage the hull at all!

Excellent dessert. Were almonds traditionally available in Sweden a hundred years ago?

[@zooloo73]

Good question, I had to look it up and found an article about customs logs being published online. Almonds do not grow in Scandinavia so they have to be imported. In 1786 there were 8 594 kilos of almonds declared for customs to Norway. Similar for Sweden I would guess. blogg.forskning.no/ragnhild-hutchisons-blogg/mandler-forteller-om-norsk-handel-pa-1700-tallet/1107239
