They Circumnavigated On An Iconic Boat And We Got To Sleep On It - Ep. 176 RAN Sailing

[@nooneanybodyknows1321]

Ludvig, you are so impressively smart and keen to not reveal too much. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and employing women in your factory. English is a difficult language. THANK YOU! Excellent presentation. I'm currently looking to see if I can find out more about your sailing around the world. Thank you, Malin and Johan.

[@garysouza2277]

I agree. Great tour. No problem understanding his English.

[@TheSymary]

Thank you. Glad you liked it. We have a blog from our circumnavigation, and more recent travels. It is in Swedish, but Google Translate might work for you. symary.com/

[@deeparks3112]

Ludvig torture testing those bearings in order to improve an already superior product. That is what it takes to maintain your reputation and place in a competitive market. He deserves the success he has seen. Thank you lady M, and Johan, and little Mermaid, for a most enjoyable video.

[@russell3380]

I enjoyed the factory tour very much but I loved seeing your country. Mary was beautiful! Thank you Ludvig, for going through all of that in English for us. My hat is off to all bi and multi lingual people. Speaking English all my life and I still learn and scratch my head. Thank you two again also.

[@shirleybaker-jones9191]

Very appreciative that this boat maker was able to explain things in English for us from America. Hats off to this video thank you

[@russellclement2058]

@@SteifWood Hey Mr. Stiff , why did you have to bring Politics into this forum ? ,, Shirly didn't ,

[@murraywestenskow2896]

I appreciate how people around the world try to explain complicated and technical aspects of equipment in English - which isn't their native tongue. I've an ancient Danish heritage - and wouldn't be able to say hello to my ancestors. People who speak more than one language are very smart people.

[@itadrummer1]

Murray westenskow I speak three on a daily basis . All Scandinavian people are being brought up by speaking their native language at home and English at school , pretty much like the Hispanic do here in the US , particularly in states like FL , TX, AZ, and CA.

[@sajjen]

All kids learn English at school in Sweden, but just in the English lessons. The rest of school is of course in Swedish.

[@howardwhite9773]

Love plant tours; don't even particularly care what is made :) Impressed with everyone working in their second or third languages for the presentation.

[@backthebadge4009]

Great job guys...I know english is not your first language and it was really nice that you conducted this tour in English. I am sure this helped this company reach out to a broader market with really cool stuff. Thanks again

[@johnmaclellan2589]

Thank you for the technical demonstrations and why Rutgerson is fortunate to have such a skilled product innovator like Ludwig to be a vital part of their team.

[@gyzmopower7599]

Excellent vlog. Thank you guys and Ludvik for sharing.

[@pdutube]

I love to see how things are manufactured, there is something so satisfying about seeing something new emerge from raw materials. I also think Mary is a very cool boat and I especially like the observation dome near the companionway. It seems like a very nice feature that I would love to have on my own boat, especially in cold climates.

[@viltfjall]

A plexi-dome might look like a great thing but I'm not so sure anymore. I had one on my boat for years and used it less and less, even in 50-south sailing. After a while its nice to hear and smell the winds, staying in the dome was more of a constant roller coaster with a lot of water to wipe off all the time :)

[@rustycomer8502]

I’ve been running and managing various businesses for the last 35 years and I can say without any hesitation that - if I owned a company like Rutgerson (or one that actually built sailing vessels), I would most definitely want Johan “on board” as a technical advisor and designer! With his diverse skill-sets, abundant experience & knowledge, notoriety, congenial personality, and his ability to problem solve in pressure situations - Johan would be a huge asset to any of those businesses!!!

[@RANSailing]

😁 Thanks! I’ll give you a call when I need a job! 👍😉

[@johnmikel5934]

So true, love the passion he has as an artisan of his craft!

[@davidnichols147]

Excellent tour, thanks to Ludvig for this magnificent tour.

[@TheMusicrox4]

Glad to be introduced to Rutgerson. Excellent equipment & RAN video!

[@trongod2000]

Thank you for taking the time to visit factories like this and filming it to share with us. There is little doubt that most of us cannot afford to visit Sweden ourselves much less get a factory to take the time to share their assembly processes with us.

[@wickerbill7793]

Wow !!! A factory where humans are operating machines rather than computers operating them. Humans using tools. Pride of workmanship. Hats off to the Swedish folks for their ingenuity and commitment to Mfrg quality products. C’mon America let’s get goin. We’ve lost our middle class to outsourcing our mfrg industry. Malin & Johan thanks so much for showing us your beautiful country. We love to hear you two speaking Swedish. What a delight to watch your vids. The baby’s getting big 😊. Mark & Carol, San Francisco, CA, USA

[@crdorado1195]

Johan, your knowledge of sailing products, equipment, and materials helped all of us understand the importance of "correct vs adequate" in sailing.

[@lessd685]

Very informative and interesting. Most useful video. Thank you. Fair Winds.

[@HopeOfJoe]

What a great webinar on propper sailing block tools and why !! Thank you, Johan and Malin

[@solarsail56]

Thanks for the awesome and informative factory tour. As always, you've done a great job with this video. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@russellclement2058]

Incredible factory,, even more incredible products,,

[@brendanhayes2752]

Know I know what I want for Christmas. Roller bearings!

[@heatherhodge1590]

So cool! Both the boat and the factory. Thanks for sharing!

[@larrymacaluso9051]

Really enjoyed the plant tour and manufacturing process of a quality product, this Ludvig appears to be a very good engineer and speaks good English as well, (thank you). Malin's tummy is beginning to get in the way, she looks terrific and l hope she is feeling well. Good luck to you both on your search, as well as your plans for the future.

[@dtonvista]

Thank you, that was very informative I wish there was more videos showing different products we use while sailing. It would be good for manufacturers actually show videos of their testing of there products, example show me a videos of how they test a product like the this and the 2500 count high test destructive test to failure!

[@cawfeedawg]

I am in the process of restoring an ALberg 30 to sail to greenland and iceland.. and im working on the rig now.. I think I will give Rutgerson a try with all of my new block needs. Thanks for this video.. Perfect timing.

[@NELLIE3588]

A lot of interesting and informative technical information; as I’ve said before function follows form- you both are doing a great job researching all the parameters of your next boat. Two thumbs up.!!👍

[@svpanacea1892]

Very interesting. Enjoyed the factory tour. Thank you.

[@dmack1827]

I normally learn from your channel. One of the many reasons to watch. This was a nice episode.

[@ToastandJam52]

Yes, very interesting how the less "glamorous" parts of a boat are manufactured. Thanks!!!

[@BobMuk08]

Really enjoyed this... I love seeing how stuff is made why its made as it is. great vid.

[@cgeorge6250]

Mary what a cool boat. The factory tour lots of knowledge,much appreciated .

[@ocxb]

I really enjoyed this video especially the manufacturing part as I am an instructor in the cnc machining industry. Thanks again 👍

[@woolyimage]

Brilliant. Thank you. Especially liked the Rutgerson tour do you have any more footage you could add to another video it was really interesting !

[@arnazmkhairul]

Haha.. I;m kinda liking this boat review series as much as the sailing ones!!

[@moz1953]

love your endless curiosity no matter what you do or where you are, best wishes to all 3 of you

[@robertskinner1799]

This video was a surprise. I had no idea Rutgerson was so high tech, I just knew it was high price. I loved the video, thank you!

[@kateristrobel2022]

Wonderful guys, I think my first boat must be "SWEDEN" built. That's quality parts. Thanks a lot for the views of the city.

[@mikeh720]

Dragging Johan out of Rutgerson must've been like pulling a toddler out of a toy store!! 😂

[@music-man]

wow what a great episode! So informative thanks so much for sharing. cheers.

[@TheRickpfarr]

Marlin: Send my thanks to Ludvig and his boss for such an informative tour of the companies product line and passion for excellance. As an American sailor I had no knowledge of this company and I look forward to buying a few of their products for my own boat. It's so great to see a seasoned sailor working in a field that he understands what racers & cruisers need to perform on the big oceans. I learned a lot about your heritage and professionalism on this video. The world of sailing is in great hands.

[@Cedartree-cf6om]

I love the techy stuff! So much to learn. Thank you! 😃

[@davefoster7770]

Thanks for sharing factory guys expertise. His English is obviously not marvellous yet his expertise in his field is obviously first class. A really interesting video. If only the English were as good at languages to such a technical level...

[@davidc6510]

Very interesting video! Love watching this kind of content of tours of sailing product manufactures. Thanks for sharing.

[@sailingbrittany6795]

Thank you very much for the plant tour. And, like others have noted, so nice of you all to do it in English.

Hi and yet another another amazing informative video Ludvig has me sold on all he makes

[@tombarker3608]

No surprise you slept like babies on Mary. Its second nature. Thank you for the tour of your country. Even on land safe travel you two.

[@cm1971it]

Implementation of experience...nice factory tour!

[@janmaaso]

Hey, I had a Swedish designed Ketch, by Laurin, better known for his L-28 design, which is great for any kind of weather conditions. Mine was also small, a 28' boat, probably the smallest ketch rigged boat I know of. It was FAST and I was able to clock over 9 knots on that thing! absolutely insane! It was one-off, designed to specification, and built in Karlstad. It was flush-decked, so very small below decks, but the nicest sailing boat I ever owned. So, so fast. NOBODY passed me on that boat! Nobody.

[@johnmikel5934]

Very interesting tour, great interview, and the designs are top notch. It's nice to see products NOT designed or made in China.

[@jimanderson2518]

Well i know where im getting my equipment now😁 thanks for the walk about Ludwig🤓 Fairwinds from the @captains.chair

[@LoriG75]

Awesome and informative video. Loved the little seaside town you were in! Very colorful and picturesque 😊

[@Fe01Nix]

Thanks, very interesting.

[@elanthys]

I saw the thumbnail and I was like... Hey, this boat looks like Joshua! 😄 So psyched when I saw it was indeed its sister! So cool to see this design around 💜

[@TheSymary]

She was built 1976, at the same shipyard in France as the original Joshua. She has been ours since 2002, and we sailed her more than 80 000 miles. Fabulous boat.

[@SteveWrightNZ]

Really great tech content, thanks!

[@bubbagail7450]

It seems like you would rather find a boat that was built somewhere in your region of the world rather than just any boat from anywhere and that's pretty cool not only you believe they may be built better but your support of that (your) part of the world is very commendable. I feel that whatever you decide on will be a fine vessel for the family. Good luck.

[@chrislee1435]

I enjoy traveling along on your journeys!

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Great video guys, amazing to get to sleep on a Joshua. Would have loved a tour but understand it is a private boat so not very appropriate I guess. The tour of the factory was really interesting, the different between smooth bearing sheaves and rollers was very helpful, all in all a very informative video. Btw there are some nice Bowman yachts for sale right now, might be good for you. Andy UK

[@migaguiar]

Top video .. thanks so much

[@TheMusicrox4]

I really like the observation dome on Mary. And that it's protected too. Can be seen at the 5 minute mark.

[@creatingmemorieswithmike4617]

Such a dome was very useful for Moitessier while steering endelsly down the southern ocean huge waves in freezing temperatures.

[@richardjones7984]

That appealed to me as well.

[@sailingmistral685]

So we have to expect more Rutgerson equipment on your new boat don´t we? But it´s ok because everybody is struggling to a maximum. I personally would look for a NAJAD, it should be big enough.

[@jedi201]

Awesome video and tour.

[@montymontano8618]

Always interesting how the most commonplace mechanism has an interesting story behind its creation.

[@CheersWarren]

I listened to the podcast with, I think ludvik, by Andy from 59-north , but to see the actual factory was very special. Good to see that a lot of hand work still involved in the products. I was also impressed to see that they are shipping product to big production French Manufacturers like Beneteau and Catana ,nice to know they are using quality products unlike some of the lowgrade stuff on some american built boat. Cheers Warren

When you see what goes into a quality product it becomes clear about pricing, even though it makes the wallet twitch!

[@johnboone2581]

Thus, you get what you pay for.

[@lubberwalker]

@@johnboone2581 not always. Shysters have no issues with selling products at a higher price to convince you it's higher quality. Also you could buy sometime at one fifth the price that lasts half as long.

[@johnboone2581]

Ellul Walker , your right but more times than not you get what you pay for. For me I do my home work before I buy.

You guys were in one of my guilty paradises (Newport Beach/Balboa Island). There are many boats for rent there (that you can/can't sail)...so tempting. AirBnB Boats is a great idea (if it doesn't already exist lol).
