That was such a good episode... It was such an uplifting experience seeing Johan in the redwood forest and thinking about their time on this planet... You are both doing such a wonderful job, and i thankyou so much for posting these episodes.
I'm a long time subscriber... Loved you guy's out on the water... However watching farmstead/boat building, simply extraordinary. I thank you From Portland, Oregon USA. The build looks fantastic.
You're doing such a beautiful job with the boat build, but I find myself also in awe of the work space you've created for yourself; and not to mention the farm and the scenery beyond! All very zen-like, inspirational and calming.
This is why I love Sailing Ran, all the places you travelled , you took us along in your calm manner connecting us to so much beauty, I literally could smell the red cedar Johann. For memory Malin was in her early pregnancy with Vera, she too was a trooper as she was very unwell, and decided to stay with her husband when she would have felt better being off the yacht. ❤ I have So much respect for you two, very authentic and genuine.
Building as you are you actually build in some great stories which will live on with your boat once it gets used. Quite a composite of very uniquely sourced materials.
Once again, we get to see a man (shipwright by now) being in aw amongst the beautiful material he uses (in its virgin state I might add) - appreciating the importance of managing our forests. Beautiful vlog and dialogues. Tks 🇨🇦
Thanks guys, And thank you for appreciating the timber you are using.. i think you we’re aiming to say, “it’s not just a material we need” it’s amazing fore thought and appreciation that the material is available.. a small thing we can all do, plant a tree, your grandchildren Will thank you for it!
Great to see the planking progress as the gap closes. Thank you for sharing the Western Red Cedar buying expedition, it's so important to share the stories of how long such a wonderful natural material takes to grow to a become a high quality lumber. I am so pleased to see recognition of those who planted even small areas of such species. The future boat builders will be super grateful for the seedlings being nurtured now. I think of my grandmother's cedar tiled roof, such a quiet house.
The Avenue of the Giants is IMHO a must see and experience first hand. Western cedar smells divine. My western cedar deck is 30 years old and still in good shape for the most part. Congrats on the find and sharing the Western cedar forest. 🌲💚
I remember seeing pictures from 100 years ago showing lumberjacks felling large trees, not necessarily the Redwoods - maybe the Douglas Fir, with hand saws.Btw, the siding of my house consists of Cedar Shake Shingles. I stain every 8 to 10 years and they are as good as new. :¬) Webhead USA
Excellent ep. Slow and thoughtful. Thanks for showing us the grove. You mentioned loving the bark. The native peoples of the PNW (of NA) made incredibly intricate everyday (necessary) items from the bark. Hats, clothes, baskets, nets, traps, etc. It was as important to their lives as the timber and the salmon.
D. A. M. N. ‼️ The hull is looking fabulous 🎉🎉🎉 Happy you found more of the wood (timber) you needed. Looking forward to the closing of the hull. A party may be a good idea.....at least some champagne for the two of you. 😊 See you next time. ✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝️ 👙 🌞 ✨
That is one big boat. Now that I see you walking on the hull, the scale of the boat becomes very apparent. Incredible project and you seem to be doing a masterful job.
A life long sailor from a sailing family on San Francisco Bay. I loved watching your section on the Northern California Redwoods - very special- I'm a new subscriber as well- now I'm going to have to binge watch all your episodes!
This was a very interesting episode. I especially enjoyed how you're now interconnected with the legacy of a stranger from the late 1800s who decided to experiment in the planting of the western red cedar in Sweden. It speaks to the effect our decisions have on others who come after us. It's an excellent anecdote to tell on the point of leaving a legacy in many forms. I think that if every one of us as a family planted trees, we could greatly improve the planet and connect more with life. Have you and Malin thought about planting many trees on your farm property to replenish what's been used on the boat? Maybe not red cedar, but it would be a great karmic gesture!
The trees in the grove that you visited are probably second growth. We had second growth Western Red Cedar on the previous property that we owned in Oregon that were of similar size and that property had been cut and re-planted about 60 years ago. If they were 140 years old they would be much, much larger.
Eastern Ontario Canada here and the way we were taught as kids about the sequoia trees is to remember the number 333, they can grow 30 feet in diameter, 300 feet tall and 3000 years old, shame there's less then 5% of the original forest left. Nice episode showing your visit to that very old forest and nice to see the hull progress, almost light at the end of the tunnel.
Complements to RR2 for being this open and transparent on what it takes to do a shakedown for a new boat. Great learning and experience! Well done to you for telling the story and having this kind of cooperation between the two channels. Hope when you have the HH trial that RR can provide the perspectives and tell the story. Overall, well done!
I drove down “the avenue of the giants” last November. My favourite was the 1800 year old “grandfather tree”. I also learned that the burnt out trees are caused by lightning.
At sea, you will have the smell of a forest. People used to talk about how good wooden boats smelled before engines. Even the side projects like the workshop are done with craft and aesthetics.
@ 16:45 I hadn't found you when you sailed BC before and explored the Forrests, I had to take a moment, to overcome my tears, I get that a lot when seeing Nature up close, At sea or on land, we are but a passing mosquito buzz, to such a Tree,
OUTSTANDING Work Johan!!!!! I cannot WAIT to See her Finished!!!! I live in Southern Oregon NOT far from the Redwoods....I have seen them Hundreds of Times.....and I am ALWAYS in total Amazement How Big and OLD they are .....AWESOME Video
Nice work! I am really fond of the look and smell of the Western Cedar, also. This is very interesting build. Like your sailing, your carpentry is excellent. God bless😊
I've got to say, if I did half as much planking as you guys, I'd have some seriously incredible abs. The boat is looking great though! It's almost too bad that you won't be able to see the wood when it's all done.
It’s amazing that one person decided long ago about those trees. There you are with a load of planks in the original forest. The smell is lovely! Victoria BC
All I can say is “ great video”!!! I cruised the Queen Charolette Islands in 1982 in a Cascade 36- home built. I was in awe of the cedar trees / old growth. Your video reminds me of why I still am I still in awe of the island and the Haida people with their totem poles. Again , a Very cool video.
It seems western red cedar was a popular choice. We have the odd stand of it here in New Zealand that dates back to the 1880s. A bit of an oddity given kauri forrest was being cut down like there was no tomorrow back then. Ironically we now have little kauri left that has any age, but the cedar is now a tourist attraction!
I believe the reason old growth trees have less knots ( branches) is because when a tree grows in a mature forest it doesn’t make much sense to put out branches in the shade of the surrounding trees. Therefore it goes for height because that’s where the light is. A tree grown in a clear cut benefits from putting out branches right away as there is plenty of light close to the ground. This is a bit different from your explanation ( but I am not a forester). If you notice there is little or no undergrowth near the cedar. This is how cedar competes with other plants by making the ground unsuitable for other plants. Acidic I think.
I live in Squamish, on the west coast of British Columbia, where the western red cedar is native. It is interesting how slowly these trees have grown over the past 135 years in Sweden. I planted cedars in my yard about 45 years ago, and they are as big or bigger than some of these in Sweden. But the slow growth is probably to your advantage; the grain should be tighter and the wood perhaps stronger.
Wow, it's really coming along now. Such a fantastic job. The farm looks so relaxing as well, a beautiful home. Those trees are gorgeous. Great to be able to get the timber you needed. Love the vlog :)
The Avenue of the Giants is truly amazing. Walking around huge living things that have been growing there fir over two thousand years really impacts your thoughts.
@15:57 In the Netherlands we use the Thuja Occidentalis Brabant, aka Thuja, aka Levensboom (tree of life) mostly as hedges.👴🤓😉 This is the Thuja plicata, the giant tree of life. Let it be so...👴🤗😊
Showing the origin of the Wester Red Cedar was a nice touch! 🌲😊
That was such a good episode... It was such an uplifting experience seeing Johan in the redwood forest and thinking about their time on this planet... You are both doing such a wonderful job, and i thankyou so much for posting these episodes.
It is a lovely dimension to this project, so grateful to Johan and Malin for sharing this and the care they put into this.
Agreed! An amazing connection with the materials for the build.

Hope you keep some cedar to line the clothes lockers, it makes your clothes smell delicious!

These trees can reach 1000 to 1460 years of age in my native province of BC. Truly an amazing privilege to walk amongst these in the wild. :)
Thanks guys, And thank you for appreciating the timber you are using.. i think you we’re aiming to say, “it’s not just a material we need” it’s amazing fore thought and appreciation that the material is available.. a small thing we can all do, plant a tree, your grandchildren Will thank you for it!
As a lover of wooden boats from Vancouver Island I sure enjoy watching your videos
Thank You so much

I think of my grandmother's cedar tiled roof, such a quiet house.
The substantial girth of the boat is now visible. She's looking to be a great boat.
Looking at the giant redwood forests brought back lots of memories! RANIIis going to be spectacular!⛵️⛵️⛵️
Beautiful episode, your countryside is absolutely stunning 🤩 great progress on the build 👍👍🥰⛵️⛵️
I'm no greeney, but I love walking in forest touching trees. Trees are most incredible things
Vad, du kan, !!!!!,Mycket imponerad av dina kunskaper.....Härliga snickarkunskaper...
Mvh Magnus Lemhage Skövde Sverige 🙂👍
Every episode i'm baffled by your craftsmanship.
Hi, never an episode to miss , great work and your feelings for nature is so honest . Thanks for your videos . 👍👍👍

Johan you must be so proud of the work you are doing....Ran lll is looking so beautiful
Excellent ep. Slow and thoughtful. Thanks for showing us the grove.

Showing the Western Red Cedar was very special - thank you!
Thankyou 👍
Love to see all the large old trees, especially the one across the stream. Planking looking great. Almost there.
More Fine Business!!! RAN 3 is the same length as the mobile home I live in! CHEERS from Westcoast Vancouver Island Canada!
Love this episode to bringing the wood "back home"❤
So nice to see a boat build from beginning, and someday, till the end. Can't wait to see Ran 3 get her christening.
Thank you for taking me on your trip to get the cedar. It must be exciting to be getting the hull planked up. Thanks
So love how Johan reveres the forest and tress.
Good going. Can’t wait till the flip.
the mighty Volvo wagon is back !
Johan you have done a fabulous job on this Boat thus far, I've been binge watching your videos for several days been enjoying this build bigtime!
The ultimate exercise in agility!! Stay young
D. A. M. N. ‼️ The hull is looking fabulous 🎉🎉🎉 Happy you found more of the wood (timber) you needed. Looking forward to the closing of the hull. A party may be a good idea.....at least some champagne for the two of you. 😊 See you next time. ✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝️ 👙 🌞 ✨
NOYO Harbor my hometown. Vessel build looks great. Peace and blessings to you and your family. ❤
That is one big boat. Now that I see you walking on the hull, the scale of the boat becomes very apparent. Incredible project and you seem to be doing a masterful job.
A good perspective of just how big the hull is
I loved that you went and visited the forest where the tree was from 🥰
I’m loving it, my God; that’s going to be a beautiful boat!!!!
The perfect coffee break video! Thank you for sharing! Greetings from 🇨🇦

Another GREAT video
Really loved the story behind the Cedar 👍👍👍👍

Splendid images at night!

You have a unique ability to create informative and calming videos unlike any other TH-cam channel I've discovered...thanks!
At sea, you will have the smell of a forest. People used to talk about how good wooden boats smelled before engines. Even the side projects like the workshop are done with craft and aesthetics.
Fun to see the clip from Humboldt! I used to live up there. I think I recognized the harbor you came into.
You are fearless, making that cut.

What a massive undertaking 👏👏👏
Wow...amazing forestry there. Thanks for sharing!
One of my earliest memories is standing in that same tree at 3 years old over 2 decades ago
Brilliant narration as always. And such a lovely idea to splice in that footage from 2019. You guys rock! Thank you Malin and Johan. 😊🎉
Nice work! I am really fond of the look and smell of the Western Cedar, also. This is very interesting build. Like your sailing, your carpentry is excellent. God bless😊
Great episode, loved the wood details.
Thank you for sharing 😊
Sail on
Cheers
Fascinating to see the impact a TH-cam channel makes. machinery and timber offered
Great Episode!
Happy to hear that you got a great price for all that timber. I also enjoy seeing the hull develop. Thanks for sharing.
You should install a jack line on the ceiling and wear a harness in case you fall. Thats a long way.
Seeing the cedar trees makes me a little homesick for my west coast Canada!
Great build, great to see the boat almost planked.
I've got to say, if I did half as much planking as you guys, I'd have some seriously incredible abs. The boat is looking great though! It's almost too bad that you won't be able to see the wood when it's all done.
Beautiful forest.
Excellent video covering so much in such a short time. The end of the planking phase is accelerating towards you.😀👍⛵️
It’s amazing that one person decided long ago about those trees. There you are with a load of planks in the original forest. The smell is lovely! Victoria BC
I really enjoyed seeing the forest, thank you for that visit. The boat is really coming nicely! 🎉🎉
All I can say is “ great video”!!!
I cruised the Queen Charolette Islands in 1982 in a Cascade 36- home built. I was in awe of the cedar trees / old growth. Your video reminds me of why I still am I still in awe of the island and the Haida people with their totem poles.

Thank you RAN for 361...
West Red cedar is a lovely timber especially for making greenhouses which last for years and so will your boat .
I just love your channel. Very informative and you guys are fearless! 🇨🇦
Fantastic!!!!
Fantastic carpentry
I’m very impressed by your abilities and attitude! I am not a sailor but I am a woodworker and your work is impressive
It's so beautiful already! A modern drakkar!
What a beautiful hull. Fantastic work.
Thank you so much for the English narration. Such a sweet build. Wow! ✨🌸✨
Beautiful production....

That bow looks fantastic, you must be very pleased with how shes coming along.
Great video especially including the forest scene. Well done.
Excellent job nice story explaining Western Red Cedar!!!
The Avenue of the Giants is truly amazing. Walking around huge living things that have been growing there fir over two thousand years really impacts your thoughts.
THE haul is really looking good. I bet you are looking forward to getting the insides done.
Beautiful Family!, and everything so well explained, Thank You, and Best Regards From Dominican Republic⛵

This is the Thuja plicata, the giant tree of life. Let it be so...👴🤗😊
You should plant one of those on the farm.😊
Thanks very much
Johan, now you’ve been ‘in my backyard’ to get this timber. I would easily have come to your help.
Lovely episode J and M.
