We’re opening up the farm and barn for our patrons to come and spend a fun day with us! In this episode we also talk about how we are going to turn the hull around this fall.
We are a Swedish family who have sailed the world since 2016 while sharing the adventures here on YouTube. While we are still sailing our main focus now a days is building RAN III, a 50 ft sailboat that we are building from scratch. 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!

Great stuff. When you mentioned that you two do it all without a production team, it made me wonder what your schedule is like? Do you film on certain days and edit on a certain day, or do you edit as you go? What programs do you use? I think you touched on this in a video before, but it might be good content now, for example, where do you put cameras in the barn, how much easier is it to film on land via the ocean..etc etc.
That's a beautiful hull shape
thats alot of dowels to make by hand…:)
This is so amazing..I can't wait see you guys on the water. Inspiring to say the least.
Looking good.
In floating docks and dry docks, when repairing, racks with a movable upper platform are used to work with the hull (its bends). This is a comment on how to reach the body when bending the "bottom"
You explain everything so well. Great job. Can't wait for more.
Really neat you are in touch with a professional company to help with The Great Turn-Over. And I think it's especially awesome Johan is using dowels to reinforce the bow. Ran III will be able to ram the iceberg that sank the Titanic. 😁 /s 👍
You're such a great family of blue water sailors and now boat builders . The progress has been amazing i know it must represent a lot of hours of hard work . We're all pushing for you ..go RAN go!
😎
I'm curious why you need to take the boat outside, why not make two or three rollover beams and rotate it in place? or is the beam of the yacht more than the available headroom?
How long do you anticipate your boat build will take?
You all are Great doing Fantastic work great craftsmanship she’ll be a wonderful floating home. In our hearts we are there with you Thanking you for sharing your lovely family home and yacht xoxo
It's really so beautiful there.😊❤❤👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌻🌻🌻
Can you explain "sandwich construction"?
Hi there RAN, have you considered applying at least one laver of fibre-glass before turning it right side up? I would evengo as far as the Gel coat as the application would be so much easier before turning!
Hi, your hull is coming along very well, l don't hnow if this will help but a few years ago l made a hull for a trimaran pontoon out of cedar, the way l got a even curve was to router a concave on won side and a curve on the other side so the strips interlocked together and make a good solid bond.
Just got here, A great day, finding you!

i just saw on youtube, people building a 52' boat like you..called Building Nyala , June 2016..they showed how they flip the boat like you will have too. It looked quite easily..good luck , i have been with you from the start.
Hi Ewan
Could be worth looking at Lobo scaffolding in the UK. Its adjustable and mobile
Thank you
Wow 🤩
How are you going to put ballast in the keel on the bottom?
Congrats guys!🎉
I have no words for what your are taking on, but wow remember boat work can take three or four times what you think.
To turn ot over First. Roll it outside first on some wheels.
Second.then build a perfectly wooden circular frame around each end .
Third. Then roll it over with the frame on it to support it. (you could have the frame already bult to attach after it is outside)
Then if you want it back inside replace the wheels and roll it back inside and remove the wheels.
Love your demonstration of craftsmanship, of yourself and others. Indeed no wonder professional companies are reaching out. Hope you’re proud already and that the summer period helps you enjoy the Swedish country side even more. Thanks for sharing the journey.
Excellent video, great progress and super news that you are going to get professional help for the move and rotation. Have you thought about how you are going to cradle the boat once flipped? Great work😀👍⛵️.
Great that you've some professional movers to help with the roll over! I've done it several ways, but there is no substitute for having the right tools and experience.
My most "fun" lift was on a 75' America's Cup boat I converted for passenger service. You may remember Lake Union in Seattle? I rented a shop right alongside the Freemont Bridge that is the entrance to the ship canal and the locks that lead to salt water. The plan was to move the boat (about 77,000#) out of the shop on machinery rollers and use a big mobile crane to set it in the water. At the very last moment I learned that a "fun run" with 10,000 participants was happening at the very same time and place. So I found a boat transporter to move it to a travel lift on short notice. The crane lifted it up over the building and set it down onto the flat bed transporter sitting in an alley between the bridge and shop. What I didn't take into account was that the sight of a big boat dangling at the level of the four lane bridge would shut down the traffic throughout half the city! Fortunately we got it loaded and out of there before the police figured out what was happening!
I'm sure your roll over will involve far less drama!
Looks like a real VIKING boat!
It must seem like a never-ending project, but you are doing really great, I love the detail you provide such as dowelling handmade. Soon when the hull is flipped over she will look like a real boat.
Amazing to see how far you've come with the built. Excited to see the final outcome
I enjoy how you guys explain the work thanks
I would think you have thought about the opening to move the boat outside. Wondering if have considered extending the opening by two feet or so, that would give more room to get around the boat. And again just an idea.
use a bunch of hay bales to flip it make a skid
Groovy video
Hi,
may I know please what is the blanking strip thickness??? and why you are not using epoxy foam board, the same as what the YouTube channel: Sailing SV Lynx are doing in building their catamaran
Thanks
Johan good work. 👍
can you tell me and the viewers what color the fuselage will be or are you going to keep it clear/transparent that would be a real eye catcher 👍👍👍.
Keep up the good work.
Greetings from a sailing carpenter.
