We spend some time on our little sailboat Articos and prepare her for our coming sail. Then we laminate the chain plates reinforcements.
We are a Swedish family who have sailed the world since 2016 while sharing the adventures here on RUclips. 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!

Love,
Malin, Johan & Vera
Home grown food and home made boat. Can't ask for anything better!
There is no part of Ran III that you will not be infinitely familiar with!
This sailboat is really taking shape! we're all with you.....
I also enjoy the non boat video. The garden, animals, birds, insects, flowers, etc.! So thanks for that.
As I get older and older I fing it harder to get moving to get through my chores. Watching Johann' boundless energy puts me in the right frame of mind to get up and at it.
The indomitable Vera continues to amaze! 😂. In just a few years she has matured so quickly! I am sure that one day she will be famous for her remarkable achievements!
RAN is going to be a fabulous boat and home for you all! Plus ➕ you are living in Europe, the centre of civilization which is good for you and esp. for Vera growing up.
I am very impressed by your "hard work" How you continuously solve emerging situations. Have built a few boats myself and know the work you put in.
Very interesting to follow your work
Good luck!
We had a problem with slugs and Googled a solution. The solution that we chose was the beer in a bottle solution. It is organic and it works. Bury glass jars in the ground almost to the rim. fill the jar half with beer. Any kind of beer will work. Then just stand back and wait. The first night, we almost filled the jars with slugs. The biggest problem is digging the jars up and disposing of the slugs. Over a period of time you will see less slugs. It will take several reproductive cycles to completely rid your garden. Sounds simple, but it really works. Good luck.
Even if it is more work, I'm so happy to see you enjoying Articos. Your garden is so lush and green. It's nice reeping the rewards of your harvest. Especially with Vera's valuable assistance. Thanks for sharing. 🥔🫛
Vera is very confident and an excellent climber it’s nice to see and she is growing both in size and capability good to see she likes books! I have experience both raising children and with boats , both require significant commitment and investment of yourselves. You should be proud of your accomplishments on all fronts.
This boat is gonna be strong.
Vera is absolutely beautiful, with such a light heart and interested in learning new things. I can't wait to see her on RAN III, she'll be very capable by then! Great job on the 'glass Johan!
I've found, in my life , the hours and days spent with family are SO important.
You will not regret one of those minutes.
How do to you make such a focused and constructive child at such a young age? She washes potatoes, attempts to pull the boat with her bike, helps you whenever she can... other kids just demand phones and tablets otherwise they fall into tantrums. Vera just makes thing happen. Incredible!
Your stamina & attedance to small details continues to amaze and inspire me. A fascinating video!
Everyone watching your video is supporting your production.
NICE GARDEN!!!!!!
Thank you RAN for 401...
This boat will last for generations for sure ! Excellent workmanship and engineering, no shortcuts (at least until now) visible. For the carbon fiber enthusiasts : yes, carbonfiber is insanely strong, but not as flexible as fiberglass, so when combined with the more flexible hull construction with fiberglass, it is not an advantage, but rather a disadvantage, as the materials don’t work “together” well. Choosing unidirectional fiberglass is the right decision in my opinion. Well done !
Pipi Langstrum is a born actress ..
You both have earned my respect, god bless you both
I know someone said it last week, but you really should consider saturating the wood before you lay the glass. Especially with how thick your strips are, they will suck a massive amount of epoxy out of whatever you lay on it. It would suck to see delaminating after you launch, especially with how much work you’re putting in to the boat.
Great video as always!
It is a little puzzling they're not doing this. I guess those side reinforcements have the wood lightly primed under them but around the keel they definitely didn't prime it first even a little.
@@wombatillo I agree. The starboard side laminations were basically white when everything dried. I’ve done half a dozen large lamination jobs in my life and have never had success with glass looking like that.
Your garden looks magnificent and so HEALTHY. ENJOY!
I think it will be invaluable in the future when cruising that you will literally know every splinter in the whole boat.
Must be satisfying to build something like this with your own hands👍
Strong is the dream in them! Interesting how the naval architect designed the reinforcement for the chain plates.
As I looked at the hull form, I am just totally in awe that two people were able to make such a large, technically complicated and beautiful form. WOW !!!!
👍😊👍🇺🇸
If you want the grass to come quickly, cover the area with thin plastic foil. The humidity from the ground and the light will quickly make the seeds spring in a week.
So strange but wonderful to see you on a boat again. Thanks for sharing
I love that your kitchen garden is yielding some edibles. Yum!
According to the articles of the "belt and suspenders" philosophy, it would be a great time (now) to add a triangle patch over the topmost ends of these chainplate reinforcements. That would not only unify the whole thing independently of other elements, but it would also distribute any load better. If it were me, i'd make a triangle patch with two layers, rounded corners, upside down (base matching the upper lip of the hull), all the way down to the 14th strip of wood (or just about where these strips you've added conjoin). Jm2c, based on the fact that whenever you can add strength through a simple, basic process, that won't affect the rest of the structure, you should. So far, i haven't been bit in the derriere by this approach, in fact, quite the opposite.
That ramble said, tremendous project. I think i'll sneeze and look again and you'll be adding the deck next. :)) You're probably one of the fasted two tag teams of boat builders i've seen, nay, scratch that, you are, given the size of this boat. Nice work!
13:30 your broken window gets me every week, lol. I always think there is a hair on my screen.
Crazy commitment...love your stuff.
TIP!
Use full strength white vinegar to clean your boat. Spray rinse with tap water and dry as required!
Keep up the good work!
JIM ❤
I have thoroughly enjoyed every video.
Thanks so much for sharing😊
This boat is going to be relay strong especially in the keel area wow, great work!
Cool, another episode!
Love watching the build, it's great fun to see the boat evolve each week. Thanks for your videos, they are great.
That was a cool morning video. 😊
Vera is the cutest little monkey. Growing so fast
Oh, you guys, just a most lovely family episode 🎉🎉🎉 Vera is just the cutest, growing young girl. She is obviously well taken care of. Bravo to you both as parents.‼️👏🏻 The chainplate laminate looks terrific 🙌🏻 Looking forward to the remaining fiberglassing effort. See you next time. ✨🌊💨⛵️🏝️👙🌞✨
¡Gracias!
Well done, Johan ... very labor-intensive work!
It was nice to see the family getting your little boat ready for some fun sailing! I'm no expert on boat building but it seems like the interior jobs will go quicker evolving into the Really Fun stuff➡️ woodworking finishes!....
Likely the worst is over and there's downhill starting now!....Beautifully handcrafted building, you 2!
I always Love seeing Vera, she's a Lovely girl and a Big Helper!! Very Happy for your steady progress towards the lifestyle you Love!!❤❤❤👍
Vera is once again stealing the show!! Cheers from Canada
Nice to see another of those old Volvo Penta md2 (?) s once in a while.
Mine likes mineral oil once a year and is very economic.
Perfect timing... exactly at the beginning of my coffee break at work. I thank you for lightening my load and enlightening my mind. Salutations from Victoria BC. Love your channel!
Also from VI, memories of Meet & Greet at Spinakers!😊
great video the photography , the music is all done so well . The Ran III project is coming along nicely Johan's work looks top notch .
😀😀👍👍❤ A strong boat will be a big bonus in the future! Take your time and make it right the first time and you will have a beautiful sailing "home" indeed! Thank you for your uploaded videos. Bye for now from Seattle, WA. (Northwest USA)
fantastic strengthening of the chain plate areas... great work!
Love that Volvo MD2, I had one my Glander 33 and it was a very good engine. That hull is definitely going to be strong and solid, great work.
I notice the topping on Veras pizza at 2:30 and as a Swede I approve 😂
…and I feel like an accomplished craftsman after putting together an IKEA project! :)
I really appreciate your production. Thank you so much for sharing :)
What likable people you all are! From Colorado
As Always THANKS FOR SHARING
A thought on short sleeves. When you discard your coveralls cut the sleeves off and tape them to the new set in such away as to give the desired length.
Excellent work as always.
Thankyou 👍 coming along nicely
Great work looks amazing
Johan, I will grow old with you :)
Nathanael Herreshoff considered epoxy "congealed snot", But is has taken over wooden boat building.
Love this!!!
Such beautiful potatoes!
lol. 1:56 Vera getting on/off the boat herself. I think "Great! Now she can go get the pizza when it arrives." 2:25 You are chowing down on pizza.
Vera is adorable!
bra jobbat 💯
When you get to those weights I call it laying carpet! With you there in spirit.
Love you guys, from a South African supporter...
hiya, i have watched for years, great videos,
an observation, you dont welcome or farewell the audiance in your native language.
ps i would like to become familer with hi, bye, yes, no, more, less. two beers
When we are in power everyone will live this idyllic life. A quote from the late great Ned Daniel
Who is Ned Daniel?
Sockerärtor 😂 Hon e ju förbaskat skojig!
That was hard working but it’s loos very strong👍👍
Don’t think a production boat gets your level of care!
Food for thoughts. What about setting up a “glass wetting table” inside the boat. The table could be suspended from the overhead with some way of easily be able to move “table” aft as glassing progressing from the bow towards the stern
❤❤❤
That looks great. A suggestion I have is to set up a laminating table inside the hull. You certainly have plenty of space.
Vera is getting to be soooo cute and grown-up. Malin, you do such a good job editing the videos. Johan is so easy going and slow paced that it works great to do the fast forwarding through measuring the epoxy beakers. Just perfect. Thanks so much for another great video with a nice mix of your life. Ron
Vera will be climbing the mast before you know it.
👍
Growing potatoes is easy and delicious!!
😊😊😊😊
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I was dismayed this week to learn that fibreglass has been found in muscles and shellfish with unknown repercussions for the food chain. Really sad that most of what we do on the water is actually bad for the water.
The original report from Brighton and Portsmouth Universities was mentioned online in a practice boat owner article a month or two ago ...it goes into more detail and looks at what happens in mud flats and possibly marshes. It's worrying because a lot of old GRP boats end up on saltings being bumped and battered by the elements and slowly breaking up.
It's one of the reasons why boat builders are looking at using alternatives like Flax Hemp modified wood or Basalt... Carbon Fiber is also problematic to work and more so to manufacture. Windelo uses Basalt in its Cats.
These two tried sourcing some for this hull but the price was prohibitive .. the issue is whilst Basalt is a common rock ...and the process simpler than GRP. it's important to find the right composition Basalt in the West.
The alternative materials topic is also covered by said org.
After I hurt my knee, my friend encouraged me to get a pair of high quality volleyball knee pads.They are comfortable and provide plenty of protection. You can even wear them under your pants if you want. Regular knee pads are uncomfortable and overkill for most projects.
I was thinking what a shame you would have to put holes in that beautiful hull you worked so hard on. Have you considered using sea chests. Bearing Yachts uses two in their boats they build. one on each side of the hull . One coming in and the other going out. That area can be totally sealed behind a thick bulkhead do if anything happens the boat won't sink. What do you think?
🍻
The new boat is going to be massive compared to the old one.
PIZZA on Articos!
Maybe a silly question, but wouldn’t it save some time to set up the lamination station (plastic) INSIDE the hull?
I would also roll up the impregnated cloth, lay down the new fiber glass, pour the resin and then go lay the saturated cloth. Let it soak as you're laying up the fiber glass....
😎
Looks like you might have some Rhubarb in the garden. Don't see it much now and I don't know why. It's delicious.
It’s a favorite of ours! 😊
I still laugh when I think about that chunk of stuff the engine spat out last year
Great progress, and great to see you enjoying your other boat a bit. Hopefully you get to enjoy some time on the water.
If you had a team of people working on this, would you interweave the different layers rather than doing all the layers for each line and each side at once? (I assume that when working solo, you need to keep working over the same line so that it doesn't cure and cause more work to properly adhere the next layer.)
Regarding the short sleeves on your environmental suit, have you considered cutting the sleeves off an old suit and taping them to a new suite as an extension?
😃😃😃
What is good in life Conan? crushing your enemies marching them before you and seeing the lamination of the kiel pocket
Wouldn't be without my own home grown food both meat and vegetables, for one bell pepper here in New Zealand is up to $6.00 vegetables are ridiculously expensive
Exited for you guys to sail this summer! Is it possible to put the soaking table in the boat?
🧿👍
Surprised that you didn't interweave for the the fiberglass ribs in this episode
