The delightful paradox about these videos is that they are not about you; they are not about the boat: not about Vera; not about the farm or Sweden they are a compelling and addictive story about all of it. And that requires much talent and hard work. Thank you.
After eight years of watching, right from episode one and then in Portugal when I declared you to be my favourite Swedes I can happily say that you are still my favourite Swedes. The best part is that now I have three favourite Swedes.
I was on a cruise the summer of 2016 and spent a couple days in Stockholm and for me the highlight of the visit was the Vasa Museum. To this day I haven't been to a more outstanding display of preservation of a nearly 400 year old human artifact and its fascinating story. Well done. Sweden!
I love that you let Vera have her adventures, climbing trees, splashing in puddles, “helping” the yacht… you don’t mollycoddle her. She will have the most wonderful memories of her childhood on the farm. From the owner of a Danish X-yacht (55’) here in Hong Kong. And looking forward to EVERY step in the building of Ran III.
The new Ran video is my first priority on Fridays! So many things to love in this one: the inside of the hull, tidying up which is always fun to watch, time lapse of making shelves, a little vacay and scenery, some education, and a beautiful farm shot with field and sunset. What more could we ask for? 👩🍳💋 10/10
Does matter where you are from in the world, all kids love puddles, awesome fun. Wow, still amazed at the job you guys have done so far. Great to get away for a bit and enjoy it. Wow, that ship was in great condition. It's always great to get away, but coming home is just as good. Love the vlog :)
Happy birthday from New Zealand. Ran 3 looks fantastic, its a credit to you both. I worked for a Swedish company, Seco Tools bef ore I retired and had the oppotunity to visit the Vasa twice on each trip. First was before she was put into the covered area and the second was where it is now. Like you, I was blown away with it. When you think about it, its probably a good thing it sank because had it not sank where she did, she would have been lost forever. 333 years under the water is testomy to the craftsmen of the days. It must have been exciting for Vera to experience her first time on a subway train. Love your chanel. Ian
Thank you for the beautiful project of building RAN III and all the inspiration it gives. A side story: In 1961, I was five years old and glued in front of the TV, looking at the ship slowly leaving its wet grave. I would say that it took at least an hour per inch. The Vasa Ship Museum is one of my favorites, and I try to visit it every time that I'm in the City. There is always something new to discover.
Now that was great parenting! letting Vera play in the rain and jump in puddles! quite rare these days! :-) I was amazed how many trees it took to build that ship! I was thinking of the logistics of getting them to the ship yard or saw mill to turn it into wood for the ship! True crafts man....and no blue-prints!
Seeing the hull upright really put the size of your new boat into perspective, especially when you were in the bow, removing some of the temporary bulkheads. The chines look much harder now that the hull is flipped, which wasn't apparent till now. What an amazing looking hull shape. I imagine you must think about how the boat is going to handle constantly. You have done an outstanding job. Stay safe.
I believe that the Crown had learned that the Portages were building a war ship with more cannons so it was directed that an additional deck level be added for more cannons. Likely a bad decision. When we were there they were still coating the wood with polypropylene for preservation through a collection of sprayers. I remember that we had access to a deck and the ginormous interior volume. Are you planting oak trees yet .😉
I have the greatest admiration for all you have achieved as a couple and ably helped of coarse by little Vera. It is wonderful to see her and Ran 111 grow side by side. And by the way you have won the Lottery, the Lottery of Life with great skills learnt and developed at each satge of your journey which I have had the honour of following since the purchase of Ran 11 the Najad 440 berthed up in Malmo. Great production work and may you continue with same high standards. p.s. The boat move and flip over was and INCREDIBLE achievement for a couple.
Interesting piece of information about the Vasa ship catastrophe. When she was almost fully built the king ordered the ship builders to add one level of batteries, from one to two. The ship was way too narrow for this, but in those days you did what the king ordered. It is said that the shipbuilder wanted to talk to the king about it, but he was down in Germany waging war. This was the early 1600s.
The worst thing is that there is a week until the next video, Vasa is on my wish list, it was filled when they raised it from the ground up, I have always wondered what it takes to build a ship like that, it also says a lot about Sweden as a nation to preserve that for posterity and you, my neighbors beautiful country, nice family and pro vidieo and edit, thumbs up
Thank you for taking the time to show so much of the Vasa, what an amazing ship, such detail, it's hard to believe that it was created with basic carpenters tools and survived being submerged for centuries. As for your project, brilliant work, I look forward to every episode of your build. Cheers, John Taupo, New Zealand
You guys are so inspirational. I’ve watched many other builds involving a big crew to make it happen. You work just as hard and smart as 3 average boat builders. I hope to share some ocean space with you someday.
What a nice little re-adventure of our visit to Sweden a year ago. This was episode is special for us, almost full circle, because it was your channel that encouraged us to visit Sweden.
That first view of the hull sitting up, all full with lumber …..gave me a happy chill for you both on such a feat. Perfect placement of that trip to Stockholm. You deserve a real break, but I have a feeling Sun Hill Farm will be all you need. ❤
Good times 🎉 it is interesting that the ancient ship had all the extensive carvings everywhere. Like it wasn’t enough to just have the ship it had to be decorative and stylish
Thank you to share yours private live with us .When building a boat , the design is the fun part the rest is work . Saludos desde California by a Cuban who love boats.
Had the privilege to visit VASA Museum and would agree with Johan that this is one of the best museums I'd ever visited. Thank you for your hard work to keep us entertained.
I'm a big fan of your project, I do have to say that the biggest milestone that I would say, is that laminating and fairing the hull is, BY FAR, the biggest milestone.
Another wonderful video showing the hull right way up, it looks so much bigger now to me now, and a beautiful trip away and visiting some wonderful museums. I always thoroughly enjoy the videos even if I don't post comments 👍😊🇳🇿
I just recently found out that I’m half Swedish, and it was through this lens that I watched this video. I was moved, wondering if any of my ancestors lived and worked on or near that ship. Thirty years ago I was in Sweden for an extended work time near Orefors, and I wondered why I had such a draw to the land… Beautifully done and told, this was very moving. Bryan from Vancouver
Lucky you got inside before the down pour. We in the UK have a ship that did the same the Mary Rose. Next time near Portsmouth you can see her plus Nelsons ship Victory.
I really like how you made it about your boat and then we went on museum adventure at same time. First interesting editing and story telling. Well done ma'am.
Beautiful episode. Thank you so much. Especially big thanks for sharing your trip to Vasa Museum. I've been fascinated by the story of the loss and the finding of such a great ship. It makes a wonderful story to hear and see it's resurrection and preservation for all to learn about. Greetings from Victoria 🇨🇦.
Good to see you promoting the Vasa Museum - it's great! However, I recall a story about the Vasa design which you missed in the video; The ship was approx. 2 meters too narrow because the (Danish!) designer used profile drawings of English Line Ships as his reference, which didn't show him the associated beam....Hopefully the new RAN has taken this into consideration 🙂 PS. After Vasa, there was apparently built a "sister ship" without the flaws of Vasa, which was in active service for approx. 30 years (normal for the ships of that time), but never engaged in battle before retiring.
We have been toStockholm a few years ago and we loved every thing about the city and Sweden. The Vasa was beautiful and amazing, the reconstruction of the sailors who perished in that maiden voyage was also very impressive, I think of of them was probably an ancestor of you Joan😜
I wish I was retired so I could come and help you for a month or two. I love Sweden got to visit your country for three days. People were so friendly even though I was a foreigner.
Worst part of any job, sometimes seems like a waste of time. But you will greatly appreciate the time spent organizing, especially since you are changing jobs on the project. I love how you give all the details, both good and bad to remind me that I should not try this at home. But I think I could with the money and time.
this is really awesome. Maybe it's just me, but now that the hull is the right way up, I feel that you're really building a now, not just a hull! 🙂 My favourite angle is at 00:16 when she's on her side and we can appreciate her lines. She's going to be fabulous. Spacious, comfortable and with good performance.
I have been blessed with visiting the VASA on a cruise. WAS the best place visited in all my cruising years. I thank the persons who revived this magnificent vessel.
I am so amazed with your progress. We have been following you since you left Sweden the first trip and you are a big inspiration to us. We have been planning and saving for years. We hope to also be able to see some of the more unusual destinations like Alaska. Hope we can meet one day!
I have had the pleasure to visit the Vasa Museum way back in the late 90's, such an amazing display of engineering, artistry and craftsmanship. To salvage the cannons and raise her from the bottom was no small task. Ship building at the time was based on experience, a lot of trial and error and handed down from father to son. Unfortunately when required to add a second gun deck, the math / ratios and knowledge required for navel engineering of this juggernaut was not yet available to the master builder. Looking forward to more of your work and best regards from Canada 🇨🇦.
In 1977 I bought a Billings Kit of the Vasa but when I compared it with the recently raised Vasa it was plain it was nothing like the Swedish style. This discovery was lucky because I was able to research English designs and built her as an English 3rd rate ship of the line, 70 guns, from 1690. The research and redesign were very rewarding as was the construction. I am looking at it now and wonder if I would have had the skills to reproduce the wonderful decoration of the real Vasa. Thank you for the detour from your boat project.
Thank you for sharing your country with us. have you all come up with a sail plan and a power plant yet? thanks again for the museum tours! Your daughter is growing up to be a lovely girl! Good work!
Stockholm is one of my favourite cities to visit. I remember seeing the Vasa during a bareboat charter of the Stockholm archipelago a few years ago. Such an impressive ship and the islands are beautiful area to sail in.
I grew up in Southern California and our Oak Trees are also protected. We had old one spanning over our house that was decaying and destroying part of our roofline. My Dad had it cut down and the city hit us with a $35,000 fine in 1979.
Great video!! RanIII looks so different, right side up. Very roomy inside the hull. The visit to the great old ship was a treat! Just amazing what they were able to build. Especially enjoyed your beautiful property and the protege garden is looking good!! Have a wonderful weekend!! 💖
When I visited Jönköping we took a ferry to Visingsö I was so impressed with the forests of oaks planted in the 1830’s by the Swedish Crown for boat building. Perfect rows of tree after tree still standing. With the advent of steel hulls the trees were no longer needed. Some one told me they make excellent whiskey barrels.
Thanks for the video. Great as usual. Fun fact, I discovered the Vasa ship story few months ago on RUclips. This boat has an incredible history. It's a good thing that it sank, so you have it in a museum now 😊 Greetings from France
I enjoyed this video so much. I had to stop in the middle to go read about the Vasa. Funny how not much has changed when experiencing great power and ego in our leaders.
It's worth mentioning that Sweden was one of the largest naval powers at the time and that several war ships just as big or even larger was successfully launched both before and after the Vasa... It's still not 100% determined what was the reason for the disaster. Some say different measurement standards was used as they've found both Swedish rulers with 12inch/ft and "Amsterdam" rulers which were 11inch/ft. Ad the theory the King demanded the extra gun deck late in the build process as well as the ballast not being properly calculated.
Maybe look at putting a mount for one of your lasers on the ceiling? Perhaps that could help keep a centerline reference as the temporary frames are removed. The Vasa ship was cool. Amazing it could be preserved underwater to that extent. 👍
The delightful paradox about these videos is that they are not about you; they are not about the boat: not about Vera; not about the farm or Sweden they are a compelling and addictive story about all of it. And that requires much talent and hard work. Thank you.
So many words.you are not swede.
Absolutely!
@@charles11ification you mean Absolute
I love the big eyes of Vera as she experiences escalators and subway cars in the big city. Your family is so precious. Thank you for sharing!
After eight years of watching, right from episode one and then in Portugal when I declared you to be my favourite Swedes I can happily say that you are still my favourite Swedes. The best part is that now I have three favourite Swedes.
🥰
I'm a history buff so thanks for the fabulous tour of the Vasa, just an amazing preservation.

That's one impressive war ship! It must have been a sight to behold when it sailed out of port for its short lived voyage!
Does matter where you are from in the world, all kids love puddles, awesome fun. Wow, still amazed at the job you guys have done so far. Great to get away for a bit and enjoy it. Wow, that ship was in great condition. It's always great to get away, but coming home is just as good. Love the vlog :)

11:37 "The most spectacular fiasco in Swedish history". Now that's humor!
Yes, like Brexit. 😜

I read somewhere that the ship was designed for one gun deck. The King wanted two. With ship design knowledge in its' infancy, he got two. She sunk...

This was the early 1600s.
Must be a great feeling to have Ran III upright, her internal volume being a lot more apparent, remarkable progress for a little over 1 years work.
Vera is growing up so fast before our very eyes. Thank goodness you have all these videos to look back on. 🤗💞
Kids and puddles! It’s universal no matter where you live.
The worst thing is that there is a week until the next video, Vasa is on my wish list, it was filled when they raised it from the ground up, I have always wondered what it takes to build a ship like that, it also says a lot about Sweden as a nation to preserve that for posterity and you, my neighbors beautiful country, nice family and pro vidieo and edit, thumbs up

Quality content in every aspect. That museum was amazing! Thank you for taking me there.
Watching kids experience things for the first time, like that subway ride, is such a treat.
The Vasa ship is magnificent, and as Johan said, easily the coolest museum I have visited👌
You guys are so inspirational. I’ve watched many other builds involving a big crew to make it happen. You work just as hard and smart as 3 average boat builders. I hope to share some ocean space with you someday.
The puddle splashing footage was the best
What a nice little re-adventure of our visit to Sweden a year ago. This was episode is special for us, almost full circle, because it was your channel that encouraged us to visit Sweden.
I loved the history aspect of this video. I never heard the story of that ship before, very intriguing. Thank you for sharing!!

I can't wait to see how the keel will go on. Nice job kids.
The lesson about what one stubborn man (also a stubborn couple) wants done can be achieved if he sticks with it, lives in you Johann.
Thank you to share yours private live with us .When building a boat , the design is the fun part the rest is work . Saludos desde California by a Cuban who love boats.
Wow Inside before the rain. It really looks like a boat since you turn it right side up. So impressed by your thought process and ingenuity.
Had the privilege to visit VASA Museum and would agree with Johan that this is one of the best museums I'd ever visited. Thank you for your hard work to keep us entertained.

Thanks for bringing us along , another wonderful video , I enjoy seeing the family time too!
Sailor Awesome! The best channel in the world. Greetings from Frankfurt am Main.❤
The build is looking great! Thanks for the tour! With the nice weather, it looks like a good time to take out your other boat for a day trip.
I just recently found out that I’m half Swedish, and it was through this lens that I watched this video.
I was moved, wondering if any of my ancestors lived and worked on or near that ship.
Thirty years ago I was in Sweden for an extended work time near Orefors, and I wondered why I had such a draw to the land…
Beautifully done and told, this was very moving.

Lucky you got inside before the down pour. We in the UK have a ship that did the same the Mary Rose. Next time near Portsmouth you can see her plus Nelsons ship Victory.
That cedar planking on the inside is a thing of great beauty..
Nothing like a good puddle to jump in!
I really like how you made it about your boat and then we went on museum adventure at same time.
First interesting editing and story telling. Well done ma'am.
Will be riding through Sweden this summer and I do not normally stop for museums but.. that is something.
If you pass by Stockholm give a shout out. A friend of Malin & Johan is a friend of mine. I'll give you a tour.
We loved seeing the museum. Thanks for sharing.
Way to go you two👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.
Vera was having so much fun in rain, made me smile 😊

Well done You've shown true grit and determination to get this far with the wonderfull boat building.
Such a FINE craft so far. Five star !! thank you for sharing your fine HARD WORK. GOD be with you ALL.
No surprise: Vikings at work! 🤘🤘🤘
I have been blessed with visiting the VASA on a cruise. WAS the best place visited in all my cruising years. I thank the persons who revived this magnificent vessel.
Another lovely video!
I’m glad that I’m owning a Swedish 🇸🇪 home build boat . And enjoying my favourite RUclips channel which is Swedish backyard boat project ❤
Big thumbs !
Really smart to pause to take stock and reorganize every once in a while on a complex project like this.
Wow! I found the piece on the old warship amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you.....very interesting episode....we in USA don't get exposed to much history of other countries.....beautiful ship
I am so amazed with your progress. We have been following you since you left Sweden the first trip and you are a big inspiration to us. We have been planning and saving for years. We hope to also be able to see some of the more unusual destinations like Alaska. Hope we can meet one day!

Vasa brings back memories of our trip to Sweden, some years ago.
Thx again for showing me how life can be
thank you so much for sharing video it was great to see the wasa battleship and entire video
Vera is so already so bright and analytical. "The fruit does not fall far from the tree." :-)
We've watched Vera grow. I feel like her great grandpa. She is such a joy!
how cool to be standing amidships of your future home. really adds scale to Ran.
In 1977 I bought a Billings Kit of the Vasa but when I compared it with the recently raised Vasa it was plain it was nothing like the Swedish style. This discovery was lucky because I was able to research English designs and built her as an English 3rd rate ship of the line, 70 guns, from 1690.

Love Vera's rain suit - she looks like a little bouncy Parma Violet! Please do not let her eat them LOL
Kids will always like puddles. 🌧️☔
loved this video!
What a great job you two are doing on this project. My hat is off to you
Stockholm is one of my favourite cities to visit. I remember seeing the Vasa during a bareboat charter of the Stockholm archipelago a few years ago. Such an impressive ship and the islands are beautiful area to sail in.
Such a wonderful, soft family episode. Even the barn reorganization. 🎉❤😊 See you next time. ✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝️ 👙 🌞 ✨
Wow thanks for sharing. I throughly enjoyed seeing the ship and it’s history
Sweden looks like such a beautiful country
I grew up in Southern California and our Oak Trees are also protected. We had old one spanning over our house that was decaying and destroying part of our roofline. My Dad had it cut down and the city hit us with a $35,000 fine in 1979.
Another great episode guys that ship is amazing!! cheers from Australia .
Vera is simply adorable. I've been following your channel for years. It's exciting to see the progress you've made with the boat.
Great video!! RanIII looks so different, right side up. Very roomy inside the hull. The visit to the great old ship was a treat! Just amazing what they were able to build. Especially enjoyed your beautiful property and the protege garden is looking good!! Have a wonderful weekend!! 💖
Thank you for the tour and history lesson. Fascinating and educational.
I know one man diving to salvage Vasa, he and his crew looted many things for their private homes. Still a beautiful ship. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for taking along for the museum visit. The ship you showed in the videos was very interesting.💡
When I visited Jönköping we took a ferry to Visingsö I was so impressed with the forests of oaks planted in the 1830’s by the Swedish Crown for boat building. Perfect rows of tree after tree still standing. With the advent of steel hulls the trees were no longer needed. Some one told me they make excellent whiskey barrels.
This episode was particularly interesting. Thank you.
Thanks for the video. Great as usual.
Fun fact, I discovered the Vasa ship story few months ago on RUclips. This boat has an incredible history.
It's a good thing that it sank, so you have it in a museum now 😊
Greetings from France
I enjoyed this video so much. I had to stop in the middle to go read about the Vasa. Funny how not much has changed when experiencing great power and ego in our leaders.
Very cool to see that old ship. I guess knowing what the center of gravity is wasn’t a thing back then. 👍
It's worth mentioning that Sweden was one of the largest naval powers at the time and that several war ships just as big or even larger was successfully launched both before and after the Vasa... It's still not 100% determined what was the reason for the disaster. Some say different measurement standards was used as they've found both Swedish rulers with 12inch/ft and "Amsterdam" rulers which were 11inch/ft. Ad the theory the King demanded the extra gun deck late in the build process as well as the ballast not being properly calculated.
Beautiful family and Beautiful country!
Maybe look at putting a mount for one of your lasers on the ceiling? Perhaps that could help keep a centerline reference as the temporary frames are removed. The Vasa ship was cool. Amazing it could be preserved underwater to that extent. 👍
