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 on our own. 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!

I am the niece of Meade Gougeon and he was/still is one of my favorite people. Thank you for honoring him by using his book and I look forward to following your videos!
I'm retired and sometimes lose track of which day it is. Then I see the RAN sailing video and know _it's Friday._ I've seen every RAN video since the beginning. Wow, 329 videos!
Johan did a terrific job opening this episode, explaining your reference texts. I'm not a naval architect but thoroughly enjoyed your choices and descriptions.
Your farm and barn work certainly culminate with that wonderful, inspiring view.
I'm continuing to watch with enthusiasm with and for you!
How clever of you to install strip lighting in the sky!!!! 6.30 into the vlog. I’m impressed. The last one to say “let there be light” was quite famous too.
Happy New Year you three. Hope 2023 brings you happiness, and good health.
The Sailmaker's Apprentice: A Guide for the Self-Reliant Sailor is a must-have for anything sail related imo.
I do love the view from your barn, those rolling green fields are lovely.
Happy New Year to Johan, Malin and Vera. I get great joy from seeing the children of the TH-cam sailing community get to see the wonderful planet we have inherited. May their knowledge and strength be enough to put right the mistakes of their forbears. I won't be here to see their success, but if you, Johan and Malin, are anything to go by, the foundations are strong.
I love 📚. ❤️ I hope they continue making them. Nothing replaces, holding a book, the smell, turning a page, marking your favorite verses, or tabbing for future reference. Thank you for sharing the last seven years of your life and the beautiful montage of 2022. Happy New Year 🥳🎉 May 2023 be better than the rest.
I agree, also books do not have their hard drive on their PC's fail totally. Same as people who venture to offshore voyages without proper paper maps relying on GPS. Clearly they are not aware that if a conflict / war breaks out between the major first world nations, that all GPS c0-ordinates are skewed by their owners, Russia, China, USA and so on. Having a back-up GPS as many boat owners proudly tell you, also are useless. Always have the appropriate maps to hand on Paper.
@@capnfrankly I strongly agree.💪
Thank you RAN for 329...
This getting suspenseful - watching the progress of building the boat. It is going to be beautiful I am sure.
God Bless us all, thank you for your wonderful channel ❤❤❤
A nice trip down memory lane and in a couple of years when your boat is built, you can do it all again.
Cheers 🥂. To following you in 2023. 🎉😊
Happy 2023, with good health, love and peace for all!
How can following a family you don't know personally and will never meet be so interesting to follow along on their adventures in life, amazing. Happy New Year guys, long time follower.
I really enjoyed the flash back to warm weather!
Malin and Johan, I’ve been watching since the very beginning. Happy 2023 as you explore more home life on your farm, build Ran3, and watch sweet Vera grow up. ( crossing fingers for a brother or sister for Vera while you have some land time - if I might be so bold 😋). Best to you both. I live near Niagara Falls in the State of New York, USA.
One of the great values of Skene's is it teaches you how to calculate performance parameters pre computer days. Moments Fore and aft, Moments aloft etc. Computers can cloud your knowledge as to how and why certain parameters are calculated and why. Computers are wonderful, but can make things so easy that you miss grasping the underlying principles. This book just has a wealth of usable information, including weights of materials, interior and deck layout. I promise you, you will be a better yachtsman, designer and builder if you read this book!
Happy New Year from British Columbia. Stay healthy and have a peaceful and prosperous 2023
A couple of books for ya: "The fractal geometry of nature" - Mandelbrot, for a deeper understanding of the natural world and it's products, like wood... Kind of abstract, but useful from time to time. One for later, perhaps when voyaging to the new world again - "1491" by Mann, very interesting view of the Americas and may open up some new destinations to explore. A couple of deep thought to ponder which occur to me after reading those: Another way to view existence is as a "recursive environment model", an "environment" being something with in's, cycles and out's. For example your boat/vessel is a kind of environment, each person, your organs, your cells, nucleus,... The Earth is inside a solar environment, a galactic environment, a universe,... Another thought, "life leverages the energy flows in our environment" - even if you don't initially see it, if you look for these you find them. The wind, the waves, current flows in rivers, in the ocean,... You can find life leveraging these, even your boat motion does this, the dolphins riding the bow wake. Have a great new year!!!!
I own "The fractal geometry of nature"! one of my favorite math texts
Johan, don't get too used to that window view, get that boat built and get out exploring. Love your guy's channel and thank you for sharing!
Happy new year’s guy’s!
Looking forward to following your project in 2023!
I just wanted to tell you what a great adventure you have given my family! From sailing to buying the farm to beginning your next journey (building your dream ship). As I am located near the coast of North Carolina (USA)..and I am now sailing in and out of the Albemarle Sound with our newest boat ( a simple Precision 18'). Your attention to detail(s), your family values and views, and the love of the outdoors is what made us fall in love with your videos 6 years ago! Keep going and please allow our family and the world celebrate with you, your family, and your life choices. Wishing you a fantastic 2023! the powells
I wish you all A HAPPY NEW YEAR from the North-East of the Netherlands.
Having grown up on the island of Aruba as a child, myself, reliving your memories of sailing through the Caribbean has brought it all back for me: sailing, SCUBA diving, snorkeling, hanging out on beautiful beaches...I, too, am water's child!
Your final episode of 2022 was perfect. We are wishing You all a very Happy New Year, and wonderful adventures ahead! Your Hopes and Dreams will come true! Safe travels.
Ive read all of those books. Gougeon brother is was our text book during apprenticeship. Dave gerr boat strength is a must read and Principles of yacht design is fascinating to digest
Wow " Big fella" mama and family just love your show at time a little tear appears of joy for you God Bless you both.
Just sat down after clearing snow from the block sidewalk to see RAN Sailing and Sailing Magic Carpet.
What a Great Day it is Today.
I went to my bookshelf to grab my old copy of Gougeon brothers ... my mom wrote happy 17th birthday inside ... in 1981 :)
Great recap! Looking forward to what 2023 is to bring!
We are so thankful that you took us along on your adventures. May God bless you.
Love your videos. A delightful family and so enriching, Happy new Year!
All the best for 2023 and beyond !
Really like your selection of books. I bought Gougeons book back in the early 80's. A couple of other books I bought back then were Finely Fitted Yacht and From a Bare Hull.
Everything got put on hold because wife didn't want the lifestyle. Now that she is gone I am getting back into it
Much has changed since I started the build of my boat back in 1976 but wood is a constant. I used Michael Verney's "Complete Amateur Boatbuilding" as an authoritative source of information on wood properties. I recall a comprehensive table of comparisons of different types of wood - how easy to work, expected life wet and dry, weight, screw holding, etc. I seem to recall Western Red Cedar came out on top for life expectancy when wet.
HI RAN,S I WONT TO THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR SHOWS . YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY'S WORTH WHILE. I AM 66 YEARS OLD AND HAVE NO ONE TO SPIN TIME WITH. AN I THANK YOU FOR YOUR MOVES. HAVE A WONDERFUL NEW YEAR STAY SAFE IN LOVE WITH LIFE.
All the best for 2023 and good luck with your boat build project! Great to watch, very interesting! If you need a hand, let me know!
Buehler's Backyard Boatbuilding by George Buehler is Great and he was pretty humorous!! Worth a look
Best wishes for 2023!
I am an old man living retired and landlocked in West Virginia. I have followed y'all for years. I do look forward to every episode of your voyage thru life. Thanks for sharing yours!
Thank you for sharing this great vid. What a year you have seen! May the upcoming 2023 be all that you need it to be.
What a lovely way to summarize your sailing life and close 2022. All the best for 2023 and I look forward to the next video. Happy New Year and don't forget to take care of each other.🇸🇪🥂🎉
Simply beautiful 👍. What a nice recap of where you are currently towards fulfilling your dreams. Cannot wait to get the latest download and catching up with the latest - your video (editing = ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️). Merci 🇨🇦
Thankyou 👍
See you in 2023! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! Wishing your family the best in 2023!
I must say you're lucky to have snow, down here in central Europe it's 20°C ! at least 10 degrees more than nornal !!
Skene's Elements of Yacht Design by Francis S. Kinney is a good read with a great deal of Good information. Its pretty old, printings in 1973 and 1983. The '83 printing is available on Amazon. I have the 1973 printing and have read it cover to cover several times. Been watching you since the beginning!
We love this channel. Happy New Year and please keep your video's going.
Thanks for watching David! 😊
Amazing videos
Good luck with everything😊
Wishing you all A Happy New Year Aswell.
Books : " Boats To Go"
Thomas Firth Jones
Great writing about all sorts of designs/builds, mostly his own.
" The Nature of Boats"
Dave Gerr
Everything about boats, including technical made interesting. Very readable.
As a former avid DN iceboat sailor from Michigan I'm very familiar with the Gougeon Bothers and their West System epoxy products. They are from Bay City, Michigan.
Happy New year to the three of you. I look forward to your boat build in 2023.
Wishing you all the very best for 2023, May your progress on the building project be easy and trouble free
HAPPY NEW YEARS GANG!
Happy New Year 2023....
Wonderful recap and Happy New Year. It always amazes me you don't have more subscribers than you do. Great content, but not as drama filled or clickbait-y titles as other channels. Keep up the great work in 2023!
Thanks, nice vid'. I wish you all the best for this new year. Kind regards.
A happy new year to you, too, Johan, Malin and especially Vera! May the new year bring you accomplished hopes and the joy of a happy life.
Thank you for sharing your story, so beautifully told. You guys are an inspiration. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you and your family and thank you for sharing your adventures with us. Wishing health and continued happiness in 2023.
I'll tell you one thing I've learned about fiberglass work , if you want to save days to weeks of sanding time use peal ply with your finish coat of glass
Johan's list:
The Gougeon Brothers On Boat Construction book - Meade Gougeon, Joe Gougeon, Jan Gougeon
The Elements of Boat Strength - Dave Gerr
Principles of Yacht Design - Lars Larsson, Rolf E Eliasson
I have the Gougeon book and agree with your assessment.
You are beautiful people. Thanks for bringing us along.
I don’t have any books to recommend but you might like to check out the TH-cam channel “A boat by the river” that follows a New Zealand couple who are building an epoxy planked boat. The use of plastic nails to fix the planks was something I had never seen before. All the best for the new year. Mike in Sheffield UK.
Cheers from Heidelberg 🖖
Very inspiring.
I've sailed since very young.
I'm excited to see your new boalt finished.
One day we'll meet at the 7 seas.
Like we say in Portuguese, as I'm a Brasilian fan, " Bons Ventos"!
Congratulations on getting started - you have made a lot of good decisions with your build. You must however look at all things that save you time - buying hatches for example. I strongly suggest that you enable your community to donate specifically to the big cost areas - the rig and sails also the engine and all that is attached to it plus the battery/electrical/navigation systems
You need to think about how you achieve a 2 year build time
Well done so far - you are doing well
🥳👍 Hauʻoli Makahiki Hou
Happy New Year from Hawai'i 🤙
Gott Nytt År från Kanada!
Jag har med stort intresse följt ert segel äventyr och nu senast er båtbyggande. Detta året kommer jag troligen att spendera lite tid i Malmö där vår äldsta dotter bor och hjälpa henne med hus renovering. Jag skulle då uppskatta att kunna träffas.
Klas Bockasten, Kitchener ON Canada
I hope next year it will all plain sailing, happy new year too you three ⛵⛵⛵
Happy Year Anew!! May this new year be full of adventure an surprises an most of all LOVE!!! Thanks for sharing your lives with us grateful for the journey an being invited to go with!! ✌🏼💗😊⛵
Love the camera work from the bow, really gives a feel of how powerful the wind is as it drives the boat on 👍
Folks, I try to read every book by Dave Gerr.
The best to all in this new year.
Happy New Year!🌄
Thanks for sharing another. year with us and we look forward to what 2023 will bring to you all.
Thank you very much for this wonderful review of 2022🙏
Praying for a Blessed, Healthy, & productive new year for you all.....
I think the clip of Vera helping with the laundry moving the clothes into the dryer (if I remember correctly) should be in the intro (or maybe an outro). That is precious! She acts like she is more than double her age taking control of doing the laundry the way she thinks it ought to be done !
Thank you for your sharing your adventures with us. Happy New Year !
Happy New Year.
It is nice to see how things go ahead.
A Very Happy New Year nice family! I hope to see a lot of video’s from you in 2023. Grtz. from the Netherlands
Happy new year to you and the entire RAN Sailing community!
Another great episode with a nice recap of the year. Glad to see how you are fulfilling your dreams and appreciate that you take us along. Wish you a very Happy New Year!
Happy New Years!
I hope to build a boat this year using " boat building for dummies". All kidding aside, we so admire your adventurous spirit, your initiative, and down to earth vibe. May you have a wonderful 2023!
So happy for you. HAPPY NEW YEAR’S
I want to mention ‘The Nature of Boats’ by Dave Gerr. It’s not construction really, but he describes everything about the design of a boat: rudders, propellers, bunks, and practically everything else. And it is a fun read!
happy new years!!!
I can’t believe that even as far north as you are that the snow doesn’t stay.
Kind of difficult for the snow to stay when it's above freezing 6-7 months of the year. And now with Man-Made Global Warming it regularly gets to ~30 degrees C for about one weeks time sometime during June-September...
Love your channel. Happy New Year from New Zealand 🎈🎉🎊
May 2023 be our best year yet
I hope you have a happy, healthy and prosperous 2023. Love and best wishes from the UK. 👍
Thank you. Happy New Year.
