Published 2024-06-28
The first layer of fiberglass gets laminated on the inside of the hull and slowly it's starting to transform.
We are a Swedish family who have sailed the world since 2016 while sharing the adventures here on YouTube. 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!

Johan is the hardest working guy on YouTube! Its looking good.

Based on my experience in boat building, I highly, highly recommend you prime all the cedar and let it fully dry before you fiberglass to it. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen bulkheads sprung from the glass when they came under stress that would not have happened had the wood been primed with epoxy or resin. It’s not that much more work to prime everything and then you will have absolute peace of mind. Just my two cents.

The shots with Johan standing inside the empty hull give a perspective of just how huge your boat is.

Having worked on old boats, I can only say what you're doing here is awesome.

I am growing old with RAN Sailing.

A good friend of mine John Lewis from Dorset England built two large boats in his shed, and had a job, excellent wife and kids, sailed them across the pond, quality was unbelievable,I was in awe, I had forgotten people like you still existed! Good Man!

Johan, if you have room, you might want to setup your pre-lamination work station in the hull. Save you steps in the long run. 😊

This is what life should be about - passion that brings you up from bed every morning excited thinking life is beautiful - love it

Fantastic Johan, your channel is a true inspiration to us all. The interior looks massive and we are positive the finished product will be a gem to cherish for a lifetime. Thank you!

Do you have to remind me that time is so ...precious. Next 2 years will fly just as fast if not faster. Love watching the build and family grow. Hello from Siesta Key Florida

Have you considered using carbon fiber for your chainplates. Instead of relying on bolts to hold the rig, the chainplates are bonded to the fiberglass...all the cools kids are doing that now! Amazing work on the boar, great progress!

Employing someone is not the answer. You are doing a great job working alone gives a sense of satisfaction which is only explained by those who have done it. Creating is as good as cruising and you have done that it is a new chapter in life. This comes from a 77 year old who has done a ton of stuff stay to what makes you happy. Your progress is phenomal.

Children inspire parental home-building. The floating home that little Vera inspired is so impressive.

The nature outside the barn gives this video additional artistic value.

Some relaxing down time is certainly due. ❤

Love the Johan voice over in this one! :)

Craftsmanship redefined. Absolutely beautiful work!
