Well, normally you would mold the stringers in first, then install the floors over the stringers. But apparently he's installing a full keel that will be the main stiffening agent. There will still be a twisting factor. I would mold in a full length longitudinal stringer on the sides above the floors, and he will probably mold in a sheer clamp of some sort
I must say, I have followed you a long time on your channel and my compliments to you & your hard work on this huge project. I have learned so much from you both .it's priceless info for sure. You will have a beautiful vessel when completed all done by your own hand. How cool is that!!!!!
@17:56 Malin thank you for adding the home story part, I'm a Brit who likes too dabble in my garden, I was fascinated to hear Deer are put off by the odour of Sheep, At 70yrs old I learn something New every day, Thank you again for what you both do, for us,
This is so cool ! Watching for almost 1.5 years at this point -- I came across this channel right after they moved their vessel into the building to begin outside resin work. Watching this process, the amount of time, labor of love, and dedication to it --- its amazing. I want to send this couple 10kg of coffee beans and a lifetime supply of sugar and creamer to help with this project hahah! Keep going strong , and doing these videos. People in the future will certainly learn something from watching!!!!!!!!!!! Much love ! =dutch=
Time certainly has passed. I have watched Acorn, Arabella, Magic Carpet, Sailing Yaba, and Tally Ho from start to launch. Presently, I'm watching your progress and Duracell. Keep up the great work, Jon!
We always have time for Vera when she shows up while daddy is filming. 😘 It's great when you can work together. You're such a great team/husband and wife. I would love to see how it looks since the trees are gone. Maybe a before and after? Thanks for sharing.
I suggest to cut limber holes on both ends of each stringer piece. It will avoid pooling in case the boat is not trimmed perfectly level, which will happen quite often. Fantastic built series!
It’s so nice having your boat right next to the house, when the day is done you just walk across the yard and your home. I have the same setup but I’m only working on an old 21’ trailer sailer fabricating a new keel and other repairs. Cheers and good luck.
I'm glad you explained why you were making your floors solid and piecing in your stringers. I was very curious about that but it makes perfect sense why you did it. Great build I'm loving every minute of it!
One suggestion: make a smaller saturation table and bring it inside the hull. The pieces of fiberglass you will be applying are relatively small, and having all your materials inside the boat may speed up the process. Congratulations on all the progress.
Johan, I have been following you both for years. Your build is amazing, your a very talented boat builder. I am so happy thing are going forward faster with the hull preparations .❤ .
Perhaps you can vacuum bag a line of stringers 2 or 3 at a time. I really like how you allocate your time and resources between family needs, supporting Vera, doing projects together, improving the house, and of course the boat build. It seems like a good balance, that is good to see. The tree cutting machine was brilliant, far better than guys dangling and using chainsaws. Using the machine is working safely and wisely, and it looks a very tidy process too.
No, we cannot believe it's been 2 years! We started following when you were cruising the west coast of British Columbia, how long ago was that - 😯? Your channel and family are wonderful
We call the sheep fat ‘Lanoline’, you can buy it in the chandlers to put on the metal parts of your boat, underwater then just wipe off with any marine growth. I use it to stop corrosion on metal parts.
Look forward to a new episode every Friday! Haven’t watched TV in over 30 years. But this is like watching a spin off of Giligan’s Island where the Professor and Maryanne had enough and decided to build a boat to get off the crazy island.
I'd recommend to do the bilge water holes, at both corners of the stringers. It is hardly any extra work at this stage. There are some bilge compatements, which are almost level in the hull, but the actual longitudinal trim of the hull will depend on the weight distribution.
Nice. Vacuum bag is what’s up. A big infusion probably wouldn’t make sense but it would look cool on camera ; curious to see if you come up with a clever way to save time on the lamination… cheers from Southern California , us
I love your videos. So well put together and, even though it takes a long time, I enjoy every one. BTW ... probably not as much as you two, but I am anxious to see this hull in the water. Cheers from Ontario, Canada.
3:29 you should get an expert to trim the trees while the trees are asleep. Few people do this, but it's a really good practice, especially for those trees close to houses or foot paths (because that's also very dangerous).
one thing from an old woodworker.... first of all - I love evrerything your doing. But I've worked with wood for over 40 years in scandinavia. water kills wood. May I offer you two some advice that you or any boat maker may have not even realised. Wood has internal moisture. If you encapsulate it completely - aand you can really never accomplish this (trust me ive seen some boats) But if you dont let the wood dry at all - it will rot inside. Obviously this will take years to manifest, but it will. Make tiny holes to anything you encapsulate - let the wood dry and get wet. dry and get wet. thats not an issue. wood that can't dry will rot. - inside glass or not is irrelevant. All the best to you both, I think you have an amazing family!
You are such a hard worker, boat looks great. I just realized you Don't have a rack to hold your glass. You can make one out of wood, it would be a lot easier to handle that glass. Also your daughter is getting so big WOW!
those stringers are where she gets her backbone, i would think that you would want them fiberglassed to each corresponding floor and the hull really well so that combined they act as one, like the wood is just there to support all the fiberglass
It's hard to believe that it has been over 2 years but of course it has and you have made amazing progress on the boat, Vera has grown so much and still the star of the show IMHO and we always enjoy watching her. I don't understand why the trees died, something about horses?? Or is that some kind of insect? Did you stain the wood on the play apparatus for weather proofing, it looks like it could use it. It was interesting to hear Deer are put off by the odour of Sheep, I was once at a farm show and I can tell you I was quite put off by the odour of sheep. See you next week. 😁
I’ve watched your journey from the start, I remember you having to knock the ice off the sheets, loving the boat build and have enjoyed all the work on previous Rans. ? You may have explained before but I’ve missed it, why do you cut the beams then laminate them back together? Does it add much more strength or stiffness? Cheers from Australia
11:15 You could make an outfeed table. Doesn't need to be something smart. Even one of those american style folding tables would work. That way you won't kick the vacuum off every time.
I know it is a long way away, but have you mapped out the route you will need to haul the boat to the water? Will there be any bridges or overhead powerlines that may present a problem? I only ask as that was an issue my father-in-law had when he built a 41' boat beside his house and went to launch it.
Love watching and learning about this process. I’m a total novice on boat building but an experienced woodworker. Question? Why the need to fiberglass the parts in the bottom? Couldn’t you just impregnate them with epoxy?
You cannot actually impregnate wood with epoxy - it only will penetrate a cell or two deep, leaving 99% of the wood dry. Any crack in the surface will then allow water to be sucked in through capillary action, but it will never be able to het out - the worst situation. The glass, in addition to adding strength and stiffness, prevents surface cracking.
I am not fully understanding the holes drilled at the bottom of the stringers being fully encapsulated with the fiberglass. Will they be reopened later and then the top part of the stringer around the hole laminated?
Hello you lovely three. I'm surprised. If three such big trees next to each other are dead, why is that? I didn't understand Malin's sentence. She said something with "horses" ??? Nice greetings to beautiful Sweden!
You three are fantastic. I haven’t missed one episode of your journey. Thank you so much.
Wow, 2 years already. Time does fly by.
Splashing will be such an accomplishment.
Did you guys ever see Brian & Kasia when they were in Sweden?
The floor boards look great. I like your engineering for the stringers. "Overbuilt" is a good thing, specially for the hull strength. Beautiful farm.
Well, normally you would mold the stringers in first, then install the floors over the stringers. But apparently he's installing a full keel that will be the main stiffening agent. There will still be a twisting factor. I would mold in a full length longitudinal stringer on the sides above the floors, and he will probably mold in a sheer clamp of some sort

76 AND STILL LEARNING EVERY DAY ,
So awesome to See your Sailboat growing up each Week. You’re doing an Awesome Job.

Hi , Life is swing in the winter sun , great work from all in the family .😉❤👍👍💅
Thanks for the views of the garden and fields. I like to see the rain on the green landscape.!
Such a wholesome video 🥰
Lookong forward to the snowy videos!
That hull is going to be bomb proof when the cross beams are added. SOOOOOOOOooooo much glass.
I'm glad you explained why you were making your floors solid and piecing in your stringers. I was very curious about that but it makes perfect sense why you did it. Great build I'm loving every minute of it!
Thank you for sharing your experience! Love from the PNW.
Now we know what you will be doing this coming Christmas. So much work for one man.
And woman. 💪

Johan, I have been following you both for years. Your build is amazing, your a very talented boat builder. I am so happy thing are going forward faster with the hull preparations .❤ .
Thanks for including us in your project! Your technique is fascinating and the design seems very sound. Thanks again from North Carolina, USA.

I love the shot @14;37 with the steam from the coffee in the laser!
Awesome Looking so Far
No, we cannot believe it's been 2 years! We started following when you were cruising the west coast of British Columbia, how long ago was that - 😯? Your channel and family are wonderful
I know it’s crazy how fast time goes! We were in BC 2018 😯
Enjoyed the episode, as always!
Good to see this boat build progressing! Very interesting video series!
Grey days here in Wisconsin, too....❤
You have been blessed once again, I feel. So wonderful.
Great job guys, well done.
We call the sheep fat ‘Lanoline’, you can buy it in the chandlers to put on the metal parts of your boat, underwater then just wipe off with any marine growth. I use it to stop corrosion on metal parts.
I'm a bowl turner and sure wish I had some of that tree to make them a bowl.
Keep up the good work my friend I tell all my construction friends about your show
Stay safe.
The outside of the house looks AMAZING.
Another great video!
Best boat and boat building show...
Also try Matt and Jani from Duracell Project...
Look forward to a new episode every Friday! Haven’t watched TV in over 30 years. But this is like watching a spin off of Giligan’s Island where the Professor and Maryanne had enough and decided to build a boat to get off the crazy island.
thanks, your channel helped me, never give up. I hope, I made it for 2024.
Thank you so much 🤗
This is 1000% better than a Halberg Rassy.
I wish you were my family. Mine didn't turn out so good 😎 congratulations from Florida. Wayne, a trawler owner

If you use a box fan on low and a house filter, you’ll keep dust down and it’s pretty quiet.
You are such a hard worker, boat looks great. I just realized you Don't have a rack to hold your glass. You can make one out of wood, it would be a lot easier to handle that glass. Also your daughter is getting so big WOW!
Fin kjøkkenhage og flott med frukttrær også!
Great work, don't forget to stretch :) Planing cedar, it must smell amazing in your workshop.
Totally mind blowing 🙏
I'm in good company with Johan; sometimes forgetting to attach the dust collection LOL
looking good. We were in Norrtälje a few weeks ago, but unfortunately did not have time to perhaps arrange a visit, maybe during our next trip.
Love the progress on the boat, don't care too much about the home story part, just interested in the boat building.

The deer think the sheeps wool smells baaaad!
Thanks!
Johann is impressed by the machine whilst all TH-cam is impressed by him 🤔🤭🤭🤭
Love the progress.. I'm guessing you'll cut holes for data and power cable management later? Or maybe do conduit? ❤

What an unbelievable knowledgeable and lovely family! What a pride for Sweden!

The Deer on your fields are Roe Dear who willnot grase were sheep are ,same in Uk
Hello, congratulations on your work, what is the height of the pencil you calculated to make the cutting mark? Thank you Amyres

Hopefully you could save some of Beech Trees and get some lumber from them to use in nonstructural items in the sailboat ⛵.
Good work guys. What did you say killed the trees? I caught something about horses but couldn't think of a connection. Can they be split for firewood?
Thanks! They were ring barked by horses that walked in the small woods.
Two years - congratulations, what an immense effort you have both put in. I bet you can't wait for a break at Christmas!
How does the vacuum bag materials no get glued in, no the bag itself but the mesh and whatnot?
👍🏻👍🏻💛
Are you planning to have weep holes for the longitudinal stringers?
Yes, that’s the plan!
😀👍👍👍👍👍❤
Hello you lovely three.
I'm surprised. If three such big trees next to each other are dead, why is that? I didn't understand Malin's sentence. She said something with "horses" ???
Nice greetings to beautiful Sweden!
They were ring barked by horses…
Laminate those stringers before you glue them in, then tab them to the floors. Not an expert by any means, but seems sensible to me.
Would that be a whiskey floor?
Just a question for anyone to answer - how can a plastic bag excerpt a tonne on pressure!?
2 år redan? Tiden går fort när man har roligt. Är det dubbelhäftande tape ni använder för att täta vid vacumet?
Tiden flyger fram! Det är en slags butyltejp, liknande häftmassa men mycket klibbigare och starkare.
I was just thinking, is it not time for Vera number II :O :) ish..... Brother maybe...... Love you guys, keep it up
We’re quite happy being just the three of us 😊
❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🤍
Why does it need to be 20mm lower?
✌️💙🙏😇👍👍😎🎉
:)
I started the series from episode one again and I just watched the episode 25. How fast time flies. Eight years already.
Oh, not more than that in two years, wow. It will take many more years before you are done.
We’ve counted on 5 years since the beginning and it could be 6 so 3-4 more years. It’s a huge project….
Stringers don't need FG, just waterproof them. You will never finish this boat putting so much effort into irrelevant or unnecessary work.
Excellent video Malin ! Best regards to Ewin and Vera . Love this channel
One question is Who broke that window in the boat shed?
The window had a crack one morning when we came out. We think there was some tension from when we installed it.. 😞
You should weigh all of the plastic waste before you send it to the landfill.
Thanks!
Thanks!
