It's time to wake up little Articos after a long winter. We stay on the boat for two nights, doing some cleaning, checking the engine and just have a cosy time. Back on the farm we start ripping up some cedar for the hull!
We are a Swedish family who have sailed the world since 2016 while sharing the adventures here on TH-cam. 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!

Love,
Malin, Johan & Vera
Vera is beyond cute! It looks like you are also teaching her English as she responded "yes" when you asked her how she slept in English. That is terrific and amazing how children pick up languages so easily.
Children really do pick it up !! I have 3 granddaughters that are fluent in English and Russian 4,6 and 8
Johan, wax your table saw table and buy a piece of formica to adhere to your outfeed table. This will dramatically reduce friction and make it much easier to push planks through.
Is wax the best option? Would it perhaps interfere with the epoxy later on? There are other lubricants that will not leave a residue on the wood. I have something for my planar but not sure what it is really.
Wax and Formica are good options but polyethylene varnish is less expensively than Formica and lasts longer wax. Just my thoughts. 😊
@@seanlathbury5410 Good idea on the Polyethylene. Didn't think about that.
Vera is growing so fast. Always fun to see her play and enjoy her life. I am an old grandma and today was hoping I live long enough to see the finish of your boat and the day she splashes. She is coming along so good and I cant wait to see the end result. You both work so hard it was nice to see you have a somewhat relaxing day on your little boat. Have a great weekend!
Congrats for having a day off. Between the farm, two sailboats and filming, not to mention Vera... I can't imagine how much building, repair, chores and maintenance you two face every hour of everyday. Thanks for all your hard work bringing your incredible lives to your viewers while making it look kinda easy and fun!
Wow, that was an eye-opening statement you made! Very good points (never occurred to my creaky, old remaining brain cells). I concur, Mr. Clark!
@@crustycurmudgeon2182 I've found that as I age (and I lived on my 45 Ketch so I know boats), I'm looking to find ways to cut out busy work, maintenance, and chores. You gotta be young and energetic to load up yourself like the Ran crew does -- like any boat owners do with little ones in tow. ;-) Thx, Crusty!
@@TomClark-Futoura You're very Welcome!
With so much wood to rip, and your fence being wood, I think the fence will wear pretty fast. I have been doing woodworking all my life and I would highly recommend using Formica covering on the fence. It will last and be very slick and not create so much resistance as the wood fence will. You might be able to find a Formica table leaf or something like that locally in an old furniture sales shop. It should be cheap and work rather well for you. Good Luck. Carl
She's a sweetheart.
We installed a ventilation fan above our Dickson stove to blow the hot air down out if the pilothouse into the salon. It does a pretty good job of moving the hot air down from the ceiling.
I got the sniffles watching Johan with his hand on that pile of planks near the end of the video. This is an amazing project and I'm so happy for you guys. You do such a nice job of filming the story. Thank you. Didn't I hear Vera answer in English near the beginning of the video? Ron
Watching your daughter is so nostalgic for me - reminds me when my daughters were that age! Cherish that time with her!
HalleluYAH! Soooooo funny and wonderful to see you all having so many beautiful family moments. Reminds me of my own daughter.
Nothing beats vodka and ice cream on a nice Swedish spring day! 🌼 A town with something for the adults and children!
I have lived there. It is one of the best summer towns. Great beaches. Longest in Sweden. 30 km stretching south from Åhus.
Thank you for the time lapse portions. I love the stary nights and outdoor footage. Loved this episode. ❤️
Nice for you to get some time on the boat. Vera made me laugh, on the radio. Lovely weather for it. Great vlog :)
Tack för att ni gör min värdelösa vardag till en bra vardag!!! uppskattar det som faan!!! mvh gubbjävlen från järfälla!!
It just occurred me today how much you have gotten done in such a short period of time. 🛠⛵️🏡 Very impressive!
Ran fan👍👍
Well that’s another milestone and I’m sure you’re pleased with seeing some milled product. Personally I’m finding all of this fascinating.
You guys have the best content. Thank you!
Thumbs up !..
13:44 brilliant idea with using magnets for the table saw, nice!
Power Feeds are really useful on the table saw, but also on the shaper.
I don't think you will regret getting one. Your frame is looking great.
14:49 if you figure that you want more, you could unscrew those two bolts there and slightly bend the sheet metal (it won't mind) so that you can put two wood wedges and expand the surface area of the rectangle to match that of the circle. As for the adapter, personally i'd just get some cereal box cardboard, have the two (rectangle and cylinder) bosses made out of wood on both ends and wrap the cardboard to make an adapter that's a transition from shape one to shape two. Some aluminium tape will provide the necessary strength and sealing power when you meet the saw and the hose. Maximum air transfer.
17:55 you can always buy a bigger motor (cheapo second hand pump motor should do the trick, usually changing the bearings and brushes brings them back to life) and that should be more than enough to help you cut that kind of wood (given the size i observed). Matthias Wandel (great feller, worth following on YT) has made his own band saws out of wood and he's been using them for years now, with motors that are quite a bit bigger than the size of the apparent machine. His middle sized one is actually twice stronger than what you'd get on the market (as far as i could get them near me, at least).
19:33 unless that's max saw blade height (in which case use a few drops of concentrated liquid soap or some warmed up duck fat, whichever you feel ok with using), raise the blade just a hair above and have the missus use a laundry soap on the exposed teeth every few pushes. That will load up the blade and allow it to slip. Before i install my new blades, i take a piece of rough sand paper and rough up the surface, the scuffed up surface allows me to load up the two sides of the blade with laundry soap (which has a lot of fat and therefore very slippery) which in turn gives me a head start whenever we cut old beams (in the field of restoration, we're not allowed to modify or alter the faces of the beam, but we are allowed, in some cases to make the faces into veneer for carbon fiber beams. That wood is so dry and being old, so difficult to cut, that it's basically like trying to cut wet wood with a dull saw blade).
One extra trick is to cut the separator fin out of a thicker piece of metal and then using a grinder, shape it such that it becomes a wedge, at the front end, same thickness as the existing one, and at the back, thicker by at least one mm on the side opposite to the fence. Polishing it to a mirror will also help AND important, clean the teeth of the saw blade with a brass brush. Gummed up teeth don't cut as good as clean ones, obviously, sharpening them helps a lot as well, for which i recommend a cheap, but effective tool AKA "the machinist's synthetic ruby stone". Found in the usual places online, it's excellent to sharpen these kinds of teeth. I'd get the 5 stone set (rod, wedge, and the assorted flat types) because you never know what else you'll need them for.
Judging from my tiny bit of woodworking with cedar, your barn must be smelling wonderful! 😊
If/when you get new belts ensure they are a matched set.
Not enough 👍🏼. The Vera segment was so very enjoyable. I couldn’t stop grinning. She surprised me with her “Yes” to a question in English. She missed her toys from the boat, but I bet it was being on the boat that she missed. I love her spunk!
The boat build is so exciting and Johan, your skills are amazing. You are both doing amazingly with this project.
Well it's like the project has officially begun now. Great Stuff
It was lovely to see you having some time off to sleep on the little sail boat and to move it away from it’s winter dock. It won’t be long until you can go for a spring sail ⛵️⛵️⛵️. The cedar planks look beautiful and you should be so proud of what you are accomplishing 👍👍😊
It’s nicer where you are than here. Otherwise seeing a bottle of Tuborg beer… must be summer. 😉👍🙂
Considering how much you have to rip ,being a life long woodworker and cabinet maker I'd strongly recommend buying at least one more blade two would be better and change them out before the blade starts to get dull. You could use a new sharp saw blade while you have the dull blade sharpened. Using a sharp blade is not only easier on you and the saw but you will get cleaner accurate cuts that will make your job so much easier. I change my saw blades as soon as I feel drag or hear the motor having to work harder. I always have three blades so I can have one being sharpened ,one to work with and a spare in case I chip a tooth or it starts to cut harder. My saw flier can usually get my saw blades sharpened in three to five days depending on his work load. I only use carbide tooth blades because they cut better and last a lot longer then conventional blades.
It may also pay you to purchase a hand held metal detector.
They have a metal detecting wand that people who use metal detector use to check the holes they dig to find the metal objects thier large metal detectors locate. The wand is about 10 inches long and two inches around. They work very well finding any metal that could be hidden in a plank or beam. They only cost around one hundred dollars and could save you the costly expense of having to replace a carbide tooth or a saw blade. One nail or bullet can really ruin your day on a job of this magnitude. Good luck ,looking forward to watch your progress on this huge build.
Thanks
I sent you a message a few weeks ago regarding the power feeder you're thinking about. I have one in my workshop that you can have for free. You can always sent it back when you've finished with it I'm in Scotland.
Top Job as usual well done!!!
This all shows me how little I know about boat building. I anxiously await each episode.
Hi guys, thanks for taking us out to see how your boat fared over the winter. Vera has really gotten a lot of good out of her balance bike and really does well on it. We hope the ripping of the planks goes well. It is so exciting to see the new boat starting to come together after all the planning and preparing you have done. Take care, God bless, 🐂
Howdy from Texas! Of all the sailing families on TH-cam, Vera is hands down the cutest kid of all. Following y'alls hard word on the new build.
Lovely video with a bit of everything to catch up on
oh man. that night time to morning time lapse was really cool. Great cinematography :)
That little girl is so cute ,your doing a great job building a boat and more importantly a young lady
Great episode....bit of everything... work...play...boats...wood....machinery....and Vera! 👍
A vast amount of work yet ahead but you have your vision and youth to help you; inspiring story!
I'm viewing this on my coffee break at work and your videos make it a true break as I watch you experience such marvelous family adventures. Thank you for sharing this episode!
I love Vera.
Nice work , nice days at the dock. The reason you saw is jamming is due to the long extension board you made.
Or better said the reason the original extension tool is short has to do with the free run at the back and of the circle saw. Having the wooden extension it tends to run stiffer. The saw is almost cutting twice what take more energy.
vera i do believe is ready for a peddle bike you all are great
Once again a very nice weekly video where you are taking us along for the ride (scenic tour). We are privilège to see your little bundle of joy, going about her things and growing up - she is so lovely and precious to watch (a real charmer). I truly enjoy your weekly update and applaud your creativity and skills. 🇨🇦👍
Autumn is my favourite time of year. For the life of me, I don't understand why people call it ''fall'' - although I suppose the famous James Taylor song, 'you've got a friend' wouldn't scan quite so well if he didn't use that term.
Visited Ahus many years ago... remember it being very quaint and peaceful.....was sailing in dinghy world champs in Varberg..but travelled all over doing the tourist thing and staying with Swedish sailing friends.... That's a great thing about yachting..friends made then are still friends today despite the thousands of kilometres of seperation...
Thank you so much for taking us on your journey. I found your channel recently, and today got to where you overhauled Ran I’s engine in Seattle... what a job that was! I loved touring Alaska and BC, such beautiful sailing areas. And now, every Friday I eagerly await the new adventure. You do an amazing job... boat building, videoing and editing. Vera is such a sweetheart. She is a tough little girl, dipping her feet in that cold water!
Thanks!
Move the Extension fence up to the back side of the blade when splitting wood. You don't want it behind, binding up the blade.
We just anchored right next to your old boat Ran 2 in the Bahamas. Noticed the vessel name on AIS, and when we pulled up, there was no mistaking her. Looks like they changed the name and the trim colors, but I recognized her from the solar arch, radar mount and dinghy. She looks to be in great shape.
Say hello from us! 😀
Tell You what ))) I've got 1979 Volvo Penta MD11C! )))) Still running pretty good. Kind of lower RPM, lots of torque even at low RPM. Good on fuel consumption (sometimes I spent less than USD100 for the whole summer season on 32 ft sailboat). The only thing I don't like about Volvo it's their absolutely crazy expensive spare parts.
Well, enjoy your "new to You" sailboat ))) She's a beauty!
That time-lapse, Malin! 🤩👏🥰
You need new belts and spare’s.great to see you take some family time on your other boat!! Best boat build on you tube!!this is just great to come along with you!!
Fair winds⛵️
I live in a very similar climate here in the northern midwest area of America and i have Harley Davidsons.. I use synthetic oil in them especially since they sit in a shed during the winter months and synthetic oil doesn't seem to have the condensation issues conventional oil does
Epic, thank you. So much fun to watch and learn.
Thank you so much…
This was a lovely video, seeing you and and the family taking a break to enjoy each other and away from the great work you are doing !
Add, the strips begin. WOW, 7%. 😞 BUT! You have a start 🙂
Thanks 4 sharing,
Cheers
hi love your videos i have an 31 ft westerly berwick from 1974 with the same engine as in your boat old but super reliable just decoated it and fitted new injectors never fails ,you can keep your more modern engine there are no electric to go wrong much simpler . as long as your on the water what else matters ,truly fascinating to watch your new boat build thank you for sharing and good fortunes to you and your family keep up the great work 👍👍👍
1st to watch, 39 seconds after you posted. LOL
Kind of rare.
Yet again you've made my Friday. It's still oh so heartwarming to see how Vera is growing up. It appears she's be bilingual before she starts school. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪.
Vera answered your question in English, loving her cameos.
Such beautiful surroundings as you take the next steps on this amazing journey. Love your little weekends boat in that beautiful little town. Exciting to see you prepare some strips, can’t wait to see them offered up to the mould and become a boat! Vera is a so beautiful, you are lucky to have so much time together as a family unit, far better than the rat race. Thank you for a fabulous vid.
Now it is getting exciting! Great video. 🇨🇦
What a beautiful little ship, Articos.
Johan, I'm wondering (since your boat will be around 50 feet long), if you will be scarfing the planks together or using butt joints, and butt blocks? I know that scarfing will actually reduce the coverage of those planks (hence, you'll need more cedar boards), and an abundance of butt blocks can have its own negative impact. As you're a very intuitive man, and you think like an engineer, I'm sure you've weighed these two methods out fully in your mind-- I'm just curious what you've decided? I'm seriously interested in your build, and I'll enthusiastically watch every episode as you release them. This is a major journey, and I look forward to the entire build! My best, from USA.
good Fun
What a heartwarming video ❤️ We are watching with bated breath as you build your dream boat and watching it grow as fast as Vera 😊 Skál 🍻⛵
Nice to see you guys out and about as a family again .. out of interest i was watching some monks here in Thailand ‘ripping’ planks from a teak tree trunk as the temple where they live specialise in making the long wooden racing canoes. The monk just stood on tree trunk, barefoot in his orange robes carrying a powerful chainsaw and walking backwards sliced off perfectly dimensioned planks with the chain blade just inches from his bare toes .. it was an amazing sight !
…
Thanks guys
good episode
Vera is so cute and smart. Some day she will have her own show!!
Happy to see the progress. Looking good.
Your mention of Bornholm reminded me that I was diagnosed with Bornholm's disease 70 years ago whin I was a child. Nobody then in England had ever heard of the island or the disease. I often wondered what it was like there
Vera is wonderful! You two need to make more!😊😊
Great break from boat building. Vera is so cute and looks so happy where ever she is.
Nice MD7 there. She maybe old but no modern electrics to get in the way to fail. Enjoy the family, they grow up way to fast.
Continue to be amazed by you two (three 😁).
What a fantastic build Vera I enjoyed watching her ride her little bike
Another great one. "Sun Hill Farm" I like that.
That lumber looks great. Congrats on getting another "first" done!
Great work on ripping those giant planks you guys are awesome keep up the great work!!
Beautiful, I have no other word, Vera, your ride to the boat, your work is going perfect, every day more interesting, everything is excellent, thank you very much.
I enjoy your great videos!
The engine has started, Vera!
Very moved 😊. Rooting for you. And Vera is delightful. ❤
Johan, I didnt know you had a boat back in 69. Heck, I didnt think you were that old!
So Vera is speaking and understanding English? What an intelligent and fortunate little girl!
Beautiful Capt. VERA on deck...
Maybe once as for mentioned,you address the belt issue and add the laminate to the fence and the extension table plus wax the blade, it might help speed up the ripping process otherwise you may need a stronger or powerful motor or make two passes per cut .
Really enjoy your project, keep up the excellent videos and work. 😊
Time for another child. Don’t wait too long
Stay safe and we'll see you next.
This was a great episode - not that we don't enjoy all of them!
Vera already has command of the radio - your communications officer has been selected!
What an operation! I can't wait to see the strips start going on!
Looks very promising.. Step by step and take the time to set up the ripping and planing..
grym snubbe!! önskar jag kunde göra d samma!!!
That timber looks fantastic. Looking forward to the boat taking shape
You folks are so amazing, I enjoy watching where your journey is taking all of you.
Nice! That saw is a little monster! I thought it would take much longer time to rip those thick planks! I'm eager to see how you attach the strips to the temporary frames so the frames can be removed later on...hmmm. I know you have it figured out :) :)
