- A documentary charting the adventure of a survival lifeboat converted into a self-supporting floating home by two architects. Through a journey of over 3000 miles from the UK to the arctic north of Norway, the film explores the idea of slow adventure set against the dramatic backdrop of the Norwegian coast.

As a guy who restores sailboats and who has spent almost 50 years biking ,hiking and sailing all around the world, I can't tell you how enjoyable this video is! I must of watch this about 20 times. Something about what these two men have done that keeps bringing me back to it. What a great job they did bringing this boat back to life. All the best everyone.
The level of video production has me in awe
Man!
very impressive.
As a seafarer, I am astonished how these two converted a lifeboat into a boat that can be filled with life. Choosing to live a life to the fullest and enjoying it in a slow pace, using their knowledge as architects and giving the boat a transformation is just amazing, believe me because I've seen many many lifeboats throughout my career. I hope that I can see your boat around Europe or somewhere. Steady as she goes! or in your word STODIG! Safe seas and enjoy life.
Agreed. Taking lifeboats out for a ride for the quarterly drills and exercises is pure punishment. What a difference!
2 gay rich kids gentrify a lifeboat. i'd have made the boat for living rather than vacationing.
I wonder is there a general website where we can source these boats?
Wonderful to live life fully.
Two things I would recommend however is
1. To counter the sideways roll on the boat a couple of Fins attached on bottom of boat say at least 300 millimeters by 2000 long is definitely going to stabilize the roll very much as it has a very rounded belly and this will take the sea sick out of the stomachs to greater level.
2. The Pitch on the propeller was designed for a 100 people wich you no longer need as you're carrying much less weight so going up a notch or three will save a lot on running your diesel engine at lower revolutions to attain same speed .
At your current RPM you will experience a little higher speed with a higher pitch prop if needed.
Normally an increase of at least 2 to 3 inches works magic.
Ps. Problems with feul pump can sometimes be solved by merely giving it a gravity feed directly to injectorpump by means of a small container placed on the roof. Can save the day of lying helpless or being Towed back to Harbor.

Man if they only read these comments, but I guess by now, someone would have pointed out all the errors sooner or later.

Personally I am a great fan of Solar as well especially with modern day brushless motors available.
Koenigsegg has come up with a 300 hp motor weighing around 20 Kg.
Wonderful stuff.
Best wishes.
@@pieterbezuidenhout2741 Solar cant feed 300hp motor
@@Doberman290 The comment I made about Koenigsegg motor was merely informative and definitely not recommended for this application but yes there are way lesser powered electric motors available depending on ones need of course.
Did you know about that specific motor I mentioned weighing only 20 kg ?
I don't think so .
A Diesel engine with sufficient power output can easily be totally sufficient for such a motor if needed. ( That's if one can afford it.)
At 70 years old I reckon to have more than the average knowledge designing and building numerous more complicated projects in my life.
Have a nice day.
As a 9 year old boy I had the chance to spend 60 days in Norway, and from the 1st moment I set foot in country I felt I was home. When the day came we were to leave I told my family I was going to stay and goodbye, well yeah; that didn't happen and I was loaded on the plane back to the States. But after my 22 years of traveling the globe in the Military as a paratrooper. The adventure is in the journey, not how fast you get there, and these guys nailed it! I never found a place that felt more like home than Norway. I really enjoyed their epic journey video and would love to see more of the design plans for their lifeboat modifications. Can't wait for their next video!
Can we just take a moment to say how well shot this is. Awesome.
Yeah, it’s great. But they could’ve at least focused more on the interior layout of the boat. But hey, at least it was artistic.
I'm jealous of the dog. He's living my dream. Damn lucky bastard.
Yeah, but how does he go to the toilet?
We stopped on land regularly and he was allowed to go in the stern cockpit if he needed to. We could just hose it down.
@@arcticlifeboat Often wondered. I thought the choices were... get a bitch, & train her to 'go' on a tray, or, throw the dog in the drink... although, I wonder if a dog would 'go' whilst swimming... 🤣🤣🤣
Used to sail on the Clansman as a kid, amazing to see one of its lifeboats get out so far.
This is one of the very best videos I've seen...ever! Very well worth the time to watch. It has just enough detail to be interesting without being the least bit boring. Shackleton is the star of the show, as I expected. Many, many thanks for making it available.
Absolutly love the design of the interior. The windows make the space like 3x bigger. Planning well done!
So no boat layouts or interior views beyond the dinette. Might have been interesting to see what two architects came up with.
This was an amazing quality video! One thing I would have liked to have seen was a tour of the interior of the boat and what your living space looked like.
Excellent film and inspirational project. Your adventure teaches us that there are other ways to travel and be in this world, centered just outside the rat race, closer to the natural rhythms of the sea, the sky and and the landscape. Bravo! Norway is such an amazing country, and I dont think you could have made a better choice for your year ( or so) of slow travel. Norway is the land of slow TV after all, and I have enjoyed hours of train travel through the beauty of the countryside.... so your whole approach fits right in. I , for one, hope that you are continuing to make more of these long form videos. Winter in Tromso on board would be much an interesting subject. Lastly, Guyleee, I just wonder if , perhaps you are working for a dear friend of mine, Snorre Stinessen who has an office in Tromso. I met him several years ago while doing a video on his amazing project at Manshausen Island. After seeing this video I wrote him with the link, so even if you don't work for him, you might want to reach out to him. He is an outstanding architect and a genuinely great human being. Keep up your inspirational projects, and thank you for this beautiful and thought provoking film.
I'm just crying. What you did was so beautiful. The lifeboat, the adventures, the freedom to choose alternatively between an isolated life and society. That was extraordinary. I am nomadic too in the same way.
Can you guys do a tour of the boat please. Would love to see all the work that went into and the layout!
Amazing! An experience of a lifetime. Beautifully done. Thank you for that little 37 minute endeavor from my life!
What an amazing journey. First the journey of refitting a lifeboat to a working live aboard. Then to take it to Tromso above the arctic circle.
Awesome job fella's 👌
Greetings from Tasmania, Australia 🍻👍
Magical, in all its way! This video was beautiful, the scenery just wonderful. Love you guys and your work on Stödig. 37 minutes af happiness, really happiness!!!!!!!!
Life at sea is the best. Very impressive. What an adventure. Only part I was struggling with was only having one engine.
Excellent documentary. Loved every bit of it.
Beautiful!
I love the huge windows-sky light .
A perfect view of the cliffs of the fjords. Except for the way it rolls in bad seas , it's magnificent for northern touring . I'm really impressed . Great idea !
On the flip side the things are close to unsinkable, you can cut one in half and both halves will still float! About the only thing that will sink one of those lifeboats is an on board fire... Really though the plan would be, if I were sailing her, to head for sheltered waters if bad seas are incoming. Boat like this is not so much about the destination but the journey so waiting out a bit of bad weather is not really an issue.
thank you for taking us along.
Tnx for this amazing video.
I live 200 km south of Tromsø. I hope you come back to this heavenly place in the northern part of Norway. Tnx again
Delightful but more than challenging for most. I envy your stamina and imagination and creative and engineering skills.
Beautiful on many levels. Thanks for sharing all of them.
Simply magnificent!
Oh what an adventure you lads experienced! The production of your saga was beautifully done and I thank you for sharing it !
Love it, awesome work guys.
Beautiful.
What an amazing adventure; very inspiring. Excellent narrative, visuals and especially music.
Is there any way to find the individual music tracks used?
@@iTube2772 I think on instagram the composer posted something...
@@iTube2772 The music was written for the film so isn't available elsewhere. The composer is C Duncan - he has a few great albums out c-duncan.co.uk
@@arcticlifeboat - Imagine attaching hydrofoils to it, to allow it to move even faster -- perhaps one day??

You guys made me cry. Great production, good drone work, edited like pro's. Loved the moment when you waited until the door just shut, to move on, even with the main character out of frame; beautiful work. The power of silence, of absence as a present force.
That was an excellent and amazing adventure. Thanks for taking us along for the ride!
BRILLIANT!.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Loved this, nicely done by all those involved! Thank you for sharing with us!

great story. Wonderful calm in the film
Stunning documentary ...well done 👍👍👍
Wonderful. Beautiful. Meaningful.
Well done guys!!! What a great adventure...
What an amazing journey. You should be proud of your accomplishments . Thank you for sharing.

True that!
Amazing video guys! Loved every moment of it!
Thank you!
Beautiful video.
Epic, hats off to you gents!!
great film . outstanding cinematography. "never in a hurry "
Excellent job guys, love the idea, video, design and trip. As a fellow architect and traveler I feel very fermilier with your ideas. 👍
Wow, what an absolutely amazing adventure! Thanks so much for sharing.
As an aside, it would've been very nice to have a tour of the inside of the boat to see the sleeping quarters, etc.
First thing what a beautiful dog! Your project and adventures are amazing. Thank you for sharing them.
Fantastic..what a adventure.
I think I need a cuddle off of the gorgeous dog . And you lads have done a great job with the boat looks great with the side windows
One word, beautiful.
Beautiful
Stunning, what an adventure!
You guys are awesome and quite inspiring. Watched the whole thing & a couple other shorter videos prior about you.
Very envious of you guys 👍🏼
So jealous in an awesome 👏 way
Beautiful Video!
Gorgeous work. A really great find.
Amazing journey and project! And I would never had believed that those mega windows in the middle withstand the weather and waves of the northern seas..
Well done you Blokes and Shackelton, well done what a jorl !!!
Absolutely stunning to watch. I've been toying with this concept for years and you guys have inspired me anew.
The one thing missing from your design, in my humble opinion, is the lack of open deck space. I know you have the roof but I mean place to put a small table and a chair or two perhaps.
Have you considered a swim platform like the ones you get on modern wakeboard boats or something along those lines? You could even have a drawbridge type system that can lower from your stern when not in use.
looking forward to your next video.
Super film thank you for sharing.
Absolutely wonderful video! The music is perfect for the scenery!
Really inspiring project!
Brilliant adventure. Great to have the luxury and lack of ties to be able to do this.
Travelling by boat = repairing your vessel in the most beautiful spots on earth!
Been there as well, was just great!
Well done guys, great production and build. The internet at it`s best! P.S. sailed on the Clansman a few times in the past .
Lovely video and what a great little ship. The engine trouble proved the old adage again though. At sea, if you have two of something, you really only have one; and if you have one......
Well done, lads! 👌
BRAVO !
Patiently awaiting this video.
I was searching for this video... Found it.. Awesome, guys!!
Excellent documentary guys! Wow. :)
Thank you for the awesome Journey does a person's heart good to see you
Great bid, good luck and enjoy the freedom and awe of Norway.
Awesome! 👍
Amazing. This was so good I felt better about the entire world.

you inspired me with that great journey
