Johan, I've built a few things over the years and I've found that the only people who don't make mistakes are the ones who do nothing. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.
You seem surprisingly calm, when you consider the enormous task you have undertaken. The level of craftsmanship you demand from yourself is remarkable and I'm sure will result in a fabulous yacht, which you'll be able to sail proudly for years to come.
Hey guys, I get so much pleasure from watching your videos that I felt compelled to become a patron (you are my first and only!) … and please don’t think of me being patronising (I’m married to a non native English speaker) but there’s a lot of technical language involved in these videos and your English is excellent! Keep up the great work and I look forward to next week’s video 👍
In a world of mass produced stuff meant to be used and thrown away, watching a skilled craftsman create something of lasting value is wonderfully satisfying.
I'm still amazed that you "found" the wood supply, it's been waiting for you this whole time. You're giving the wood new life and making it into a beautiful creation. Simply amazing watching it take shape.
I'm amazed at how well that piece went into place. I couldn't have made it fit in a million years. I'm so proud of you two and how the boat is progressing.
The best sailboat building TH-cam channel I've found so far. Really interesting, captivating. You do a really great and quality work! Greetings from France
I love the mix of modern technology matched to traditional craftsmanship .. of which Johan is hugely blessed … it does make you wonder about the skills of the old time boatbuilders who didn’t have computer driven routers and laser leveling etc
I'm always amazed at your total command of English. This build is quite technical and you always explain it correctly using English. I'm reminded that it is not your native language when you speak casually with Malin and your friend. Of course, the stem is a piece of craftsmanship.
As I have said before he is a gentle Viking. History In my head, I picture "Hey you want to go on a raid"? "No, I would like to build the boats". " Good luck on your raid. but did you see my new design". That's the way I picture him as a Man's Man doing what he enjoys and is very good at it.
This is such a joy to watch. The level of attention given to every little detail is delivering a quality skeleton/frame for the planking thus rewarding you with a wonderful product. We can tell from the tone of your voices that you are proud of the work (while not gloating on the video) …and we’re so happy for you. Vera is so sweet to observed and we all love it. Merci 👍🇨🇦
This stem is a magnificent wooden beast ! Good for you it did not slide during the installation. Gravity will make sure it stays in place now. I guess the planking will require less Viking brute force !
It’s so enjoyable and instructive to see this process. Johan’s explanations are really clear and concise, the artistry of his craftsmanship is a demonstration of being in flow.
Johan, get yourself an engine hoist to move heavy items. They are inexpensive and both of your backs will be in much better shape over the duration of the build.
I love the way in which you catch your mistakes, one would think by now that, yes mistakes will be be made, but when you catch them they are always a surprise, I guess that is the nature of mistakes.
Good Friday to you all. Vera is a real artist, Malin installation dance was pure magic and Johann is an exceptional carpenter. His modest approach to life is terrific. May your Family enjoy the Easter weekend on Sunny Farm. Congratulations with respect to the new stem, you have been certainly putting in the hours. Can't wait for the planking to start. Thank you so very much for your positive and continual instructions.
Thank you for keeping Ran Sailing very interesting while you are ashore. It is a transition you have accomplished with great success. Also compliments on the fine video and audio production quality.
Wow great to watch that all fall into place ,Johan is the new Floki with his boat building skills and Viking ancestors. seriously tho excellent viewing watching the three of you on the build.
In a yard there are a lot of people required to build a boat. it should not be possible for one guy to do this, respect. Skills and machinery go a long way.
Wow... I am loving this series... in the early 1980s I was planning on building a Gougeon brothers cold molded sailboat... then I visited Spencer boats in my area and watched the pros do the interior... I realized how out of my league I was... these videos confirmed it all... You are amazing.... so talented... good job!
Wow I was not going to watch another boat built after tally ho anchor and sailing yaba but you and your wife sir amazing you got me well done can’t wait till next week
Huge admiration for the range and quality of Johan's skills and working standards. Your home/boat shed, etc. setup seems balanced and I hope serves you all well, whilst being close to your unwell family member. Good to see the boat build progress.
This boat is shaping up nicely. Congratulations for all the skills, hard work and for Vera's decorations. 🙂 I was looking at the height of your barn ceiling and how the boat occupies the space. I am curious about your plans to turn the hull, sit it on a wheeled structure and have enough room to work on the deck. I know it is a bit into the future but that should put your MacGyver skills to extra test. 🙂 Stay strong!
Hearing the Swedes speaking and grunting in Swedish, I felt gratitude becauseJohan and Malin are willing to to spend so many hours speaking English so well while filming in order to share their their labors and adventures with us.
It doesn’t bother me at all. In fact I’m kind of charmed by it (especially when little Vera talks). I’m also mightily impressed by the linguistic quality and especially the technical proficiency brought to all tasks: speaking, filming, measuring, and most especially building. You guys are amazing!
Grunting in Swedish? I'm guessing English isn't your first language either. It's actually quite rude to refer to someone's native tongue as ''grunting.'' That is the sound pigs make.
For me very interesting to see a boat being built Upsidedown. My folks always laid the keel first and then framing and planking from the bottom upwards. So called Klinkbuild in SwedishThey very seldom built a Kravell one
Great progress. I don't understand how you were able to use the router/tape setup when they were so far apart and appeared to be 90 degrees against each other. Thanks for including the footage with the starling. That was very kind of you to protect it and release it back into it's environment. Keep going. I am very impressed with you and your whole family.
Impressive. I’m confident Johan knows this. When I do an epoxy gkue up I never dispose my mixing cup right away. I leave next to the glue up, the best way to check if the epoxy is fully cured. After all the use of the Shaper, you need to mill up a small piec of the shapere tape in wood, frame it and place it somewhere in the finished boat. A littele reminder of the kilometers of tape you might have use by then. I love Vera‘s paintings.
You guys are my favorite channel. Great photography with interest including farm shots. Great commentary by you both. Very interesting to watch ch crafts men (women) at work
Congratulations for the way you are working. It is really a pleasure to observe how you take care of all details. Looking forward to watch the coming vídeos. Greetings from Santa Catarina southern Brazil.
Well, this turned out much better than I thought. It's a beauty, excellent work. I can't wait for next Friday to arrive. Congratulations Johan and Malin your boat is going to be beautiful. Besides, I was seeing that Vera already started with the paint jobs very well.
Great video again! Can I suggest that you get that door in ASAP? There are going to be literally 100's of times that you will wish you have unfetterd acces and room around the bow of the boat between now and then, so the sooner you get it is, the easier your life will be. While you are at it, you could make a lean-to extension on the end of the barn so that you gain some room on the end so you won't have to open the door much. A few meters hould easily be possible and you could do most of the arrangements and work without much help. The hardest part is going to be sizing and installing a beam over the opening (and you will need to do that whatever you do to that end wall) and also ensuring that you are addressing shear strength in the wall once you have taken out a big portion of the end wall.
This is a really big boat.... I am glad you have a small sailboat to take holidays away from the project because it will be so tedious and physically demanding putting it all together with just one or two people.
Y'all are doing a fantastic job on your new vessel. Even at my age (64), I am learning a lot of things . In my younger years I built ships and Tugs, all steel and aluminum, never out of wood. I can appreciate your attention to detail. Have a great Easter weekend.
Johan, I've built a few things over the years and I've found that the only people who don't make mistakes are the ones who do nothing. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.
I am in awe of your ability to match your brain with your hands and tools, it’s a real craftsman reveal
Johan you're not only a great craftsman but also an articulate educator. Kudos to you...
You seem surprisingly calm, when you consider the enormous task you have undertaken. The level of craftsmanship you demand from yourself is remarkable and I'm sure will result in a fabulous yacht, which you'll be able to sail proudly for years to come.
Great craftmanship on the stem.
Hey guys, I get so much pleasure from watching your videos that I felt compelled to become a patron (you are my first and only!) … and please don’t think of me being patronising (I’m married to a non native English speaker) but there’s a lot of technical language involved in these videos and your English is excellent! Keep up the great work and I look forward to next week’s video 👍
Thank you so much for supporting our videos 🤗 And we try to read up on the technical terms and we hope we get most of them correct ☺️
In a world of mass produced stuff meant to be used and thrown away, watching a skilled craftsman create something of lasting value is wonderfully satisfying.
In a job like this there is no room for just "good enough". Only room for "perfect" .
I'm still amazed that you "found" the wood supply, it's been waiting for you this whole time. You're giving the wood new life and making it into a beautiful creation. Simply amazing watching it take shape.
So impressed with your work, my spouse and I are both woodworkers who come from woodworking families. That Router is nothing short of amazing.
I'm amazed at how well that piece went into place. I couldn't have made it fit in a million years. I'm so proud of you two and how the boat is progressing.
The best sailboat building TH-cam channel I've found so far.
Really interesting, captivating.
You do a really great and quality work!
Greetings from France
That is a very professional fit. It looks millimetre perfect which for such a complicated shape and size is a real achievement. 😮
I love the mix of modern technology matched to traditional craftsmanship .. of which Johan is hugely blessed … it does make you wonder about the skills of the old time boatbuilders who didn’t have computer driven routers and laser leveling etc
Watching you work Johan is positively therapeutic, your calm application and craftsmanship is inspirational, well done.
This is such an interesting build. The stem is beautiful and really shows off your skills.
This will take years. But happiness is about enjoying the journey more than reaching the destination.
What a level of craftsmanship. It's almost a shame to hide this piece of art. Greatings from Denmark.
I'm always amazed at your total command of English. This build is quite technical and you always explain it correctly using English. I'm reminded that it is not your native language when you speak casually with Malin and your friend. Of course, the stem is a piece of craftsmanship.

This is definitely a Good Friday! Thank you for this wonderful episode!
Yes I agree Jesus was a carpenter.
Great work by the graphic arts and impromptu singing departments! (9:00) 🥰
Vera is right-handed (and talented painter). Johan has caught a cold. And Malin is so tiny when she wanted to help carry the prow! She is all heart!
Such a complex bit of joinery, multiple angles and curves combining as one ....Johan's skillset is off the scale🤟
Watching the creation of the stem has been a real treat. A wonderful piece of work.
That's a real milestone congratulations!
What a great job! I'm glad that you caught the misshapen piece, Johan, before you mounted the stem. Indeed, you are a Master Carpenter.
That router is so impressive! Of course that is down to the user.
This stem is a magnificent wooden beast ! Good for you it did not slide during the installation. Gravity will make sure it stays in place now. I guess the planking will require less Viking brute force !
My brain would have exploded trying to accomplish this task. Bravo!
Wow! Those are some incredibly big and heavy pieces of wood. Yes, I agree it looks like it should before a Viking ship.
It’s so enjoyable and instructive to see this process. Johan’s explanations are really clear and concise, the artistry of his craftsmanship is a demonstration of being in flow.
Thankyou for sharing your life with us best wishes
Here’s a small token………what a fantastic series and such talented and kind people. Thank you for the share.
Thanks be to God for your friend to help you guys
RAN lives again!!
Fantastic! Fist class carpentry skills here, The stem is huge, great progress!
Johan, get yourself an engine hoist to move heavy items. They are inexpensive and both of your backs will be in much better shape over the duration of the build.
That's a pretty impressive bit of woodworking there . . . Nice job! I can't wait to see her afloat.
Thank you RAN For 342
Well done Johan, you are a craftsman no doubt about that. The stem looks fantastic and a great milestone. Enjoy your Easter. Cheers Ian
Love watching your project come together. 🤗💞
So glad to see you wearing safety equipment. Very smart.
What a gorgeous stem! Truly a Viking ship for modern times!
I'm baffled at your craftsmanship. 😲
What a fantastic team you are, Vera included, and Johan is an exceptional craftsman. Finally I see the magic and potential in wood!
I love the way in which you catch your mistakes, one would think by now that, yes mistakes will be be made, but when you catch them they are always a surprise, I guess that is the nature of mistakes.

Such a sweet voice on that short ARTIST! Thanks for the fun vid!
Congrats to this massive achievement!! I had a big smile of happiness on my face while watching your struggles getting stem in place.
In a yard there are a lot of people required to build a boat. it should not be possible for one guy to do this, respect. Skills and machinery go a long way.
That is super exciting!
Some serious grunts lifting that piece!!!
I LOVED Marin's victory dance! Bonne chance!
That yacht is going to have an impressive plumb bow. A great first step.
Fabulous work, RAN III crew‼️ And a beautiful piece of workmanship. Y. E. A. H. ‼️ 🎉 See you next time.✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝 👙 🌞 ✨
Johan Just WOW what an incredible addition to the hull.I am in AWE at the carpentry skills.
Wow... I am loving this series... in the early 1980s I was planning on building a Gougeon brothers cold molded sailboat... then I visited Spencer boats in my area and watched the pros do the interior... I realized how out of my league I was... these videos confirmed it all... You are amazing.... so talented... good job!
Thank u for taking showing a video on boat building. Can't wait to see the boat on the water. I keep on watching the previous EPs. Good luck.
Well we can see who the artist in the family is
Wow I was not going to watch another boat built after tally ho anchor and sailing yaba but you and your wife sir amazing you got me well done can’t wait till next week
Watching your boat build is. exciting ..
Huge admiration for the range and quality of Johan's skills and working standards. Your home/boat shed, etc. setup seems balanced and I hope serves you all well, whilst being close to your unwell family member. Good to see the boat build progress.

Yes! Ran III is taking shape! I think a dragon head would be a great addition to the top of the bow….
Hearing the Swedes speaking and grunting in Swedish, I felt gratitude becauseJohan and Malin are willing to to spend so many hours speaking English so well while filming in order to share their their labors and adventures with us.
Yes. It gets tedious reading subtitles all through a video.
It doesn’t bother me at all. In fact I’m kind of charmed by it (especially when little Vera talks). I’m also mightily impressed by the linguistic quality and especially the technical proficiency brought to all tasks: speaking, filming, measuring, and most especially building. You guys are amazing!
So true.
Grunting in Swedish? I'm guessing English isn't your first language either. It's actually quite rude to refer to someone's native tongue as ''grunting.'' That is the sound pigs make.
You should measure your words. How can you call one of the mosr beautiful languages in the world grunting?
For me very interesting to see a boat being built Upsidedown. My folks always laid the keel first and then framing and planking from the bottom upwards. So called Klinkbuild in SwedishThey very seldom built a Kravell one
That shaper router is the craziest thing I,ve ever seen!! It boggles my imagination!!!!
Great progress. I don't understand how you were able to use the router/tape setup when they were so far apart and appeared to be 90 degrees against each other.
Thanks for including the footage with the starling. That was very kind of you to protect it and release it back into it's environment. Keep going. I am very impressed with you and your whole family.

You guys are my favorite channel. Great photography with interest including farm shots. Great commentary by you both. Very interesting to watch ch crafts men (women) at work
Well done. That some accurate craftsmanship. Craft-man-ship.😮
Chiseling out that little bit of the foundation shows that you used the barn to the max. 😂
With a wife like Malin, anything is possible. Lucky Johan! And thanks to your neighbour Haken!
I could watch Johan all day a talented man on all facets of boats a pleasure to watch
Congratulations for the way you are working. It is really a pleasure to observe how you take care of all details. Looking forward to watch the coming vídeos. Greetings from Santa Catarina southern Brazil.
A dragon head under the bowsprit would look amazing!
A warm and hearty congratulations to you both, getting the stem in place is a real milestone.
Well, this turned out much better than I thought.
It's a beauty, excellent work.
I can't wait for next Friday to arrive.
Congratulations Johan and Malin your boat is going to be beautiful.
Besides, I was seeing that Vera already started with the paint jobs very well.

A wonderful example for us all on believing in yourself and facing challenges with courage and confidence and skill! 🎉
Woohoo indeed! A woodworking tour de force. Congratulations! 🙂
Congratulations, you have officially started assembling your new home!
This is a really big boat.... I am glad you have a small sailboat to take holidays away from the project because it will be so tedious and physically demanding putting it all together with just one or two people.
Been so busy.
Wonderful Friday night enjoying a Ran video! ⛵⚓⛵❤❤
Y'all are doing a fantastic job on your new vessel. Even at my age (64), I am learning a lot of things . In my younger years I built ships and Tugs, all steel and aluminum, never out of wood. I can appreciate your attention to detail. Have a great Easter weekend.
First permanent piece, congratulations. Stay safe.
Great job Johan, Malin, the bow frame looks terrific, and it all seems to fit together so well. Thanks for sharing..
I'm glad your friend showed up at just the right time.
Cheers to you.
Retired engineer in New Zealand and absolutely loving watching you build this yacht, your craftsmanship is on point, beautiful job.
You must love your job!! My Grand dad was a train driver too!!
That stem was an amazing piece of work.
Congratulations! A real milestone. I liked the upside-down/right-side up video editing!
Problem solving skills on top form!
What a great helper. So much color to your project.
Both of you, I mean all three of you, are so enjoyable to watch.
Thank you
Nice work. Floating tenons.
