When life gives you lemons make lemonade - Ep. 312 RAN Sailing

[@tigersharkzh]

With Mads now finished on his refit and out cruising, there's a void to the weekly dose of glorious sanding. This will be a great substitute.

[@justarandomguy3071]

Sailing Magic Carpet is a great refit channel.

[@giles-df9yu]

The two that rebuild a totaled boat, expeditionevansyoutube are great. They almost caught up with ran in the Atlanta before she was sold

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Thats Glorious Man glitter ...😁😉 Though i think this is going to be steel or Aluminium for the hull... though there is a Swedish company thats been building boat hulls from stainless steel for decades..🤔? Im wondering if they might revisit some of the Dutch designs..

[@williamd1891]

Don't forget Leo and Tally Ho.

[@HFX1955]

And M&J sailing 's catamaran

[@MrA1582000]

So very sorry about illness among your loved ones. Doesn’t life twist and turn. The decision to sell Ran Il was maybe to be. Your decision to remain near family and to build your own boat is a golden opportunity. Also and importantly, Vera will know her family and will establish where home is no matter where she roams as she is older. Nice to have that anchor. Looking6 forward to the videos of the build, probably even more than cruising. Wishing you goodness in this new adventure.

[@cathyt502]

Absolutely! It's also good for Vera to be on land and use her extremities as she ages at this lovely, tender age. She's such a well adjusted, smart, happy child.

[@elisabethak9502]

My warmest thoughts and best wishes for your family member! This is such exciting news to build your own boat. Can’t wait to follow along weekly!

[@lukeburgess3364]

I'm not a sailor, but I love your videos. The combination of sailing, building and adventure is great. However, what distinguishes your channel is the three of you. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. I'm really looking forward to the new direction and have nothing but respect for your family commitment. Best regards.

[@umpdaddy1]

I think you're looking at more than five years until RAN III is in the water. Quite a project you've taken on and I know she'll be beautiful.

[@alfwilmot9473]

My word you are dark horses, love the way you present your plans as a fete de compli .I send my prayers for your family and wish you all the best on the new chapter of your exciting lives . Love to you all. ❤️ Al

[@steveditch4504]

You made an unselfish decision for all the right reasons. Family first. We will not stop following your many future adventures as we all have to see Vera , our adopted grand child, grow and spread her little wings. So many changes in such a short time. Amazing. God Bless.

[@charlesmyhill]

The new boat will come to be hailed as one of the world's greats. Can't wait to see construction begin.

[@cgeorge6250]

Congratulations! Family is everything. Being close when big life changes happen is important. Having a smaller boat so Vera can keep her sea legs is great. I will enjoy watching your boat building process.

[@ardourallen3799]

_____ All these big changes in such a short time now becomes clear . I applaud you on your compassion for your family member. It is the cornerstone of why you had to return to Sweden now, but you force yourself to plan plan a bright future. So many others would just put their life on hold, but that is NOT your nature. Congratulations.

[@twowheelrodeo]

There is lots of sail boat plans, for sure.

[@mikevickers1391]

Your little girl is an absolute delight...beautiful child, and so well behaved.

[@kentwood2914]

"On the road again"..."TLC"...I'm so impressed with all of your knowledge of English and our expressions. I would imagine I am speaking for many of us (your followers) in saying that seeing Lars' heartfelt hopes for the boats future and your new adventure makes this channel so real. I hope that you do not feel inadequate in making such a drastic change from the cruising life because many of us that follow you are here for what you bring to this channel: "REAL LIFE". You are in our hearts and we all hope that you truly enjoy this part of your life.

[@highvibe4839]

They are authentic, genuine people. Doing it there way without all the dramas, not trying to keep up with the Jones as we say in Australia.. I believe they will also create a new audience of people who enjoy watching the boat being made, they will be fine.. I bet some will opt to help the build.. ✨⛵️🌿

[@timmulrenan8464]

I respect the adjustment in your adventure to allow being with the family member during this period. Life happens, most often not as you would plan it, but how you adjust makes all the difference.

[@swetstein2]

I hope that your family member will be well, and I wish you all the best of luck with your coming adventures.

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Wow, building your own boat, maybe I'll come over and watch you working!!

[@RANSailing]

You’re welcome anytime Barry! 😉

[@zoidberg444]

Sorry to hear about your family member. You know Johan you are a man of many talents. If you manage to pull off building your own boat I really will be impressed. I watched the amount of work Doug Jackson at SV Seeker put into building his boat over a decade. He managed to recruit a small army to come down to Tusla, Oklahoma to build it. Maybe you should try and find someone to make the most critical welds on the bow and the keel.

[@grahamovenden9007]

i am envious , the three of you are my favorite Vikings . influenced

[@angelcalero6464]

Guys, Vera is looking prettier every video. Her hair has gotten really long and beautiful. Best wishes to all of you on this new journey.

[@torbjornahman]

Wow that was big news and kind of unexpected! Best of luck with everything!! I know nothing about boat building but it sounds like fun... I might have to pay a visit!

[@carbidegrd1]

Make the anchor for them Torbjörn !

[@michaelbaumgartner6582]

woud love to see this Anchor...

[@JohnSmith-cx7zt]

I hope you get to build your dream boat. Family needs you around at this time . Give you all comfort.

[@TraneFrancks]

What? $5,700 for a boat that actually can sail? That's crazy good value. Every time I look at boats listed in Canada on YachtWorld, it's generally 4x-plus times more expensive for even the worst boats. I'm delighted you found something affordable.

[@regkane-Pluvis]

GOOD LUCK, REG

[@chetdogspoon]

Disrupting your personal lives in support of family reveals true integrity; looking forward to the design and building of your Dream Boat and your local sailing adventures.

[@svattitude4661]

Lemonade for sure!

[@gatemana5]

You and I have much in common, but I’m an American, not Swedish. 1) I bought my first Volvo in 1971 and drove only Volvos until 2015. 2) In 1968 I bought an Irwin 31 foot fiberglass sloop and named her “Beau Monde” I paid $15,000 for her and sold her in 1975 for $5,000. I used her mostly for weekending in the Atlantic Ocean at Atlantic City, New Jersey. I loved the sailing life, almost as much as you do. And I sailed as crew from Maryland to Bermuda in 1975. I'm 91 years old now and I've seen every one of your videos. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to relive the happiest time of my life. I'll follow your videos as long as I can. I'M IN LOVE WITH THE THREE OF YOU SO PLEASE TAKE CARE.

[@ArcticSeaCamel]

Another channel building a boat! Can´t wait! I´d love you guys to review my plans with all your experience ☺️😉

[@czeslawpi]

Matt and Jess have been building their own catamaran for what seems like forever. It’s such a huge huge slog. Good luck y’all.

[@giles-df9yu]

Life on the hulls in Australia, building one off a mold.

[@passinthru4328]

Best wishes in your new ventures. The boat seller seems like a solid guy.

[@kerrymettert8962]

Wow! Building your own boat! This will be an excellent journey to watch. Johan is so handy it will be good to see him building your dream boat. This is just so cool!

[@kevinlytle6215]

We all should understand. Also many of us follow those sharing thier build or rebuild of their dream boat. We are all onboard for the new journey!

[@grahamreader9141]

Sorry to hear of the family member illness. Congratulations on buying your new (older) little boat and look forward to seeing you building your dream yacht. Take care.

[@koosslootweg8500]

What a undertaking!! My admiration.

[@MarcelEling]

Big futereplans, nice to follow you in this period.

[@BillChild2njoy]

Very exciting and I'll keep watching certainly 🙂...

[@keithhall9298]

25 years ago, we sailed up and down the coast of California to Mexico twice, raced the transpac, Newport to Ensenada both twice and chartered in the Med and Caribbean and lived aboard for several years with our toddler and sheep dog - such an awesome time. Then school localized us into the reality that education is only somewhat transportable and then kid sports. So we renovated a home then built a home on 5 acres planted an olive orchard harvested olives for oil and had a great time with the kid. Did the same with our home in France but did vines instead again great time - now. life moves on an we are back in boating for the last five years all over again. So my suggestion do the farm enjoy it to the max kids grow up as fast as you grow old enjoy. Then look for a mistress - she'll be waiting.

[@miguelmartinho]

Hello Malin, Johan and Vera! Quoting the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa: "Para viajar basta existir", or in free translation "To travel, just exist"). Fair winds and seas!

[@1bradhannon]

congratulations

[@janicechilders4885]

This was meant to be for sure! Congratulations! You are good people!🥰

[@peterhansen767]

Grattis! Lycka till med båten och den nya fastigheten!

[@davidc6510]

Sorry to hear about the illness in the family. I am sure you will make wonderful lemonade out of those lemons. Best wishes to you and your family member and thanks for sharing!

[@svlolalouise9763]

Nice change of plans Looking forward to seeing the build

[@FantasyDreamHomes]

Wow! Lots of changes to your channel. I am super excited for you, and I look forward to the next phase of RAN Sailing. It sounds like a KZbin channel I used to watch a couple of years ago--Sampson Boat Co--where lots of viewers and subscribers would show up to help build the boat. If I didn't live so far away, I would definitely volunteer my services. Good luck on your house search and I pray for the good health of your loved one/s?

[@nrsjeni2351]

To see how happy that man was to sell his boat to you, that joy is amazing. He knows it will be more than a boat to you. 🥰

[@RoyClare]

So sorry to learn of the illness of your family member; warm thoughts with them and with you. But thank you for sharing the news, and for the exciting prospect of a build-your-own-boat project! I’ve been following you guys since the very beginning … and I’m staying onboard for the latest chapter. I follow the awesome pair on Magic Carpet, but now that Mads and the lovely couple on Salt & Tar are sailing, there’s a gap for a construction and sanding job or two … !! Go well. 🎉👌🏽💯

[@cheerio3847]

It will be fun to watch another boat being built, I've been enjoying sailing magic carpet and found the building process is interesting to watch. I had a private laugh as you were talking about the issues getting the boat OUT of the barn. My grandfather- morfar- used to build wooden boats as a hobby. They were smallish, a style called here a 'run around' as it was a smallish wooden motor boat for running around puget sound on day trips. A friend asked for one slightly bigger than normal, so he built it then they found they couldn't get it out of the building! They had to take the doors off and widen the opening then FIX the opening back again. Took them several days and grandpa swore he'd never do it again! Grandma complained until they sold the house how that side of the garage always leaked. Thanks for making me laugh again at that old story!

[@hudsonb631]

WOWWWWWWWW SUPER EXCITED!

[@vikimoody8783]

Yeahhh for you three. Sorry to hear your family has sad news but all seems to be working out so you can be there. God is Good! Of course, I’ll be staying tuned in ! Best to you all!

[@fraserguthrie4692]

Another way forward for your project is to buy an empty hull or hull and possibly deck, You could buy a production hull (say: X-Yachts) or contract a boat yard to build only the hull to your design. This could save you a lot of time and give you only the cabinets - your expertise - to do. Also you do not need to put together all the tools and equipment to build the hull - fiberglass, trestles, vacuum bag etc

[@rickynaaier2594]

After all these years finally first, best of luck with your new venture!

[@msilvatone]

You guys are so inspiring, the only way you can better than Ranll is build your own....so excited to follow you on the next stage

[@SVHummingbird2]

The news about your build is exciting! finding the right place to build can be challenging. I built most of the structure for ours in a home made tent, which throughout the process I had to keep adding tarps, and as the boat grew in length and height I had to raise the tent 3 separate times before finally dismantling it. I also started out under a large walnut tree, which did not allow for rigging the masts so I had to move it to finish. SO what I am trying to say is be careful when choosing your build site, it is easy to underestimate what you will need.

[@saraedin7293]

Ska bli spännande, inspirerande och fortsatt lärorikt följa era nya utmaningar och äventyr, lycka till 💖

[@abbbee8918]

Now I’m onboard with RAN. Having watched Mads for 6yrs and lost interest following them, I’m excited for this build. Just what this channel needed, sorry for the circumstances that brought its timing forward. Family sailing just turns channels into lifestyle shows. Nothing against sailing with children but it’s not (and shouldn’t be) very adventurous or entertaining. Good luck with everything.

[@jeffscherer1078]

Great video, thank you!

[@davidsilverman3967]

Wow! building your own "boat." You might want to get in touch with Aladino at Sailing Magic Carpet. He is a certified boat builder who was trained in Sweden. They are currently refitting a large wooden Sailboat, Magic Carpet #2, in a barn plus he previously rebuilt a total wreck, Magic Carpet #1, over a four year period. His talents are amazing. I look forward to continuing to follow your channel. You are a beautiful family.

[@amham48]

Wow! Unexpected turn, looking forward to the next many chapters. Hope your family member recovers. And once again, another Swede speaking prefect English...looks like the entire country is multi-lingual.

[@sunline24]

How exciting. You will be starting a boat build.

[@jaydubya4727]

The adventures just keep coming, lemonade indeed! Over the years I have become a dedicated fan of your family and, for me, it's all about you, not your venues. Thank you so much for sharing your lives. You do it with such amazing skill.

[@flyinhawaiian7226]

Congratulations 🎊 I used to watch your videos in the very beginning. You guys inspired me to sail!! Lots of things happened in life, and I dropped off. I googled your info and got your channel!! I am back as an old and subscriber!! Now, I see a new addition to the family, I luv her! Your lives are sooo magical. I am sooo happy to see you guys again!!

[@graham961]

A totally different direction for you. Thanks for letting me continue to follow along. Looking forwards to it👍

[@music-man]

Hello there. Sorry to hear about your family member being ill. Family and friends that is all we have.right and you will cherish the moments you have. On the other front wow.lots of stuff going on and i will look forward to watching this all traspire. Much love to all of you. xxxx

[@mikefox1332]

I have followed you all for quite some time. I will continue to because I respect and admire you both as a family and sailors. I look forward to future episodes! 😘

[@HDXBear]

logistics and planning this build is a big commitment but so rewarding when completed . Best of luck

[@jamesa702]

Of course, grow a boat in a barn. Wonderful harvest. Thanks for sharing.

[@trentdelancy3130]

Family first. I love how you guys have always included you Swedish family on the journey. Prayers for your family.

[@williamdykes2750]

In National Lampoon's 1978 movie Animal House there a scene with John Belushi who kept saying the same two words. Inappropriate language for a family channel here, but that scene immediately flashed in my mind watching this episode. Wow.

[@giles-df9yu]

Very very exciting,

[@cathytodd3996]

I was sorry to hear of your reason for staying in Sweden and send best wishes to your family. You are definitely making the best of difficult circumstances and I will follow your new adventures in sailing and boat building with great interest.

[@peterhaan9068]

Wouldn't miss it for the world! Oh wait, that's included too!

[@donnakawana]

This new adventure will be a mixed bag of up's an downs. We will be here to watch support an follow the journey... Thanks for sharing your lives with us. I'd love to come work on boat... ✌🏼💗😊❣️

Congrats! Look forward to following your life changes. Very exciting to watch and see how it will unfold.

[@SMM-Mystery]

First, sorry to hear that you have a family member who isn't well. Truly hope that they can get well. Second, congratulations on the new sailboat. Though it isn't your dream boat, it doesn't mean you cannot make a few dreams come true on it. Finally, really looking forward to your new build.

[@zerofox7347]

I admire your enthusiasm I know for a fact I couldn’t put myself through it. I’d rather just buy a new boat 🤣

[@philipchandler330]

Prayers for your loved one and you all

[@jimc4731]

You can do it! Susie from Emerald Steel welded her steel hull over 30 years ago having no prior experience welding. They are still sailing around the world. You would have on the job training at its best. Learn to weld and build with steel!! Your cabinet and furniture making experience will be used on the interior fitment. Good luck in your new endeavor! Keep up the good work! JIM 🥰

[@crdorado1195]

This episode was FULL of news - good and bad. Heart felt prayers are given for your family, may all turn out good. It was special to see Vera shouting salutations to her grandmother- they were both happy to see each other. 'Can't wait until the next video.

[@royrcf]

Fascinating episode , the future process sounds very interesting.

Hey, sorry to hear that a family member is not too well. I hope things get better for them. Wow on building your own boat, it is going to be an awesome project. I hope you find the right place and get it. You guy's rock in everything you do. Love the vlog :)

[@sailinglatis]

Very exciting! How life teaches us about the turns in the road of life.

[@jackmead6166]

Good luck we did the same thing moving to Puerto Rico from the states because of a sick family member. A great great great reason to uproot your life even though it can be personally painful. Wish you the best of luck!!!! Keep us posted! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Of course we will continue to follow you in your adventures!

[@Sarasdad91]

I am so happy for the 3 of you. I can't wait to see the new build. The temporary boat at 31 ft is a big drop from RAN 2 but hopefully the new boat you build will be bigger. I think your videos are about to get a little more exciting. I can't wait to see the build. :-)
