Your homesteading content is just as wonderful as your boat building, and you guys do such a great job making all of it as wonderful as your sailing content. 👍
To be heard multiple times over the years…..”The whole process took longer than I thought it would.”
That happen to me too
I've done a lot of project management over the years, and I'm pretty good at getting my budgets and schedules very accurate. I'm about 90-95% accurate.
When asked by a PM at a company I worked at how I always got such accurate schedules and budgets I said, "it's easy, I ask each unit manager to create a budget and time estimate for me. I then triple the time estimate, and double the budget."
Apparently he didn't like that answer, but I really think it's a useful way of looking at things. Most people make the assumption they know everything, and can work optimally. But research has shown us that optimal workers can usually only maintain 80% of their scheduled 40 hours before mental burn out, and then can only do that for limited crunches. Also, budgets are really just wish fulfillment. No one is good at pricing because no one actually knows what will go into a project until they do it.
And none of that seems to take into account unforeseen circumstances. You know the things you don't know, but don't know you don't know them.
I used to work building navy and commercial ships. Not a single project I ever worked on was delivered on time.
Delos is taking the dive into building a catamaran. Brian will be an old man by the time he wraps up the build.
See Murphy’s Law.
Johan, you must be exhausted from all that sanding. You’ve earned a week off! 🍷
Johan, Malin, Vera thank you for this episode and allowing us to peer in to your lives. This project is amazing! Greetings from Victoria BC!
And Vancouver BC
And Anacortes, Wa.
To combat snails and slugs: 1. Put a band of copper or zinc foil around the outer edge of the raised beds. Snails and slugs won't cross the metal. 2. Put a shallow dish with some old beer poured in it and some newspaper on top. The slugs and snails will go in, drink the beer, and die. That will get any that are already inside the perimiter of the foil.
Beer indeed is the best way to get rid of snails.
it looks like you are making the whole thing out of chocolate!
Seeing the child-sized wheelbarrow brought back good memories- when my son was Vera's age it was his most played with item. Your snapshots of family life are uplifting and heartwarming. Thank you ❤❤
Your channel deserves more subscribers for sure. I followed since 30K, and based on the the quality and genuine content i sure would hope the algorhytm be more kind to you. Thanks for the weekly updates, and im looking forward to every new episode.
Oh my gosh! The suspense is growing. Have been trying to invision how you will go about turning the hull. What an EXCITING day that is going to be!! In the meantime, I love your potager garden!! Have a great weekend!
Exciting times! Cant wait to see the flip!!!
Absolutely fascinating watching the progress of your boat project. Your videos are nicely balanced with your life on the land in Sweden as well. 😊
I look forward to this build every week. Thanks! This channel and Sampson are favorites 👍
The Deer around here will hop over that fence. Good luck!
Indeed! We need 8 foot fencing!
Tons of work done.........tons more work to come. You can do it‼️ We believe in you guys.💪🏻 See you next time. ✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝️ 👙 🌞 ✨
Thanks again for this update and the beautiful work in the garden
Stellar job guys. So much progress everywhere. Well done
The preparations for the flip were helpful to understand. Thanks for the explanation and we look forward to seeing the pieces added for the flip.🐬
Thankyou 👍can't wait to see the right way up
Amazing progress….it’s Hugh seeing you inside.
I am excited to see the process of turning the hull over. That boat is huge....
Malin as a coastal sailor around Britain and also in the Med and a keen gardener also, I have found sailing the Greek Islands having breakfast miles off the nearest land, yogurt and honey, is magic at producing Wasps, Almost the speedier though is slugs on green growth in my Garden :-))
Thank you for sharing. Really enjoyed the episode. You guys are great storytellers. I can't wait for the rollover of the hull and to see the garden come to bloom 🙂
Turning the hull is going to be exciting, a make it or break it kinda deal. Fingers crossed!
Wouldn't it help to go to the boat yards to learn
how they flip a hull? They may know where to rent a big Crain and rigging that will cost, but you have put big time iand mo😅ney into it to even take a 1% chance of damaging your special boat hull.
I spent 50 years in the insurance business and I paid a $46,000 claim on a dropped turret lathe. Stuff happens!!!
All great stuff going on at the Ran family.
Thank you RAN for 388...
I'm excited to see that hull right side up...
Amazing project … huge congratulations on progress! And I love the interleaving of boat, garden, family and the seasons. Fabulous! 😊🎉🤙🏽🎉💯
The garden area is looking great.
The kitchen garden fence needs more fibre glass and a little fairing.
Good video , appreciated the explanation on the wooden wheels - most enjoyable !!😎👍
The vegetable garden is coming along nicely. You've done so well with the fairing, great job.
As much as I love sailing, I would have a hard time leaving the farm.
Great progress and careful progress, anticipating the next hurdles.
I love your vegetable garden!
You guys are amazing. I love watching the boat build
LOOKING GOOD
Things are becoming interesting!
Love this episode and enjoy the garden development.
I'm excited to see that hull right side up... but I'm probably not as excited as you are.
I got the Ran iii coffee cup all the way in Dallas ,Texas. Thank you! I have been with you on Pateron for years. They started double billing me so I quit them. 😊so here is some help directly.
Thank you so much for the support! 👍😊 cheers!
For what it's worth, the closer your flipping cradle is to a circle, the easier and calmer it is to flip. This may require lifting the hull, of course. With a 35-40 foot hull, the flip can be done with one person working with two ratchets, but more people is better. 'Turnover Parties' are a great excuse to have a get together with friends and add to the number of hands.
There's a lot of material wt. there, I hope they have an estimate, controling the turn over is going to take some teamwork with or without a mechanical lift.
So call on friends neighbours locals and family if available.
Meantime Malin see if you can get hold of salvaged , reclaimed decking timber.
In Sweden it may not be available but it's worth a check.
In many more urban places where decking was fitted it's become less popular due to Rats setting up colonies under it. So they have been removing or changing a lot of gardens.
As you're in Sweden pick flowers that are good for Bumblebee's ❤ they start early and are increasingly important for pollination in north regions given the honey bee population collapses of recent years.
It's best left open so predators can get in and flush the perishers out.🧙🏼♂️
I help a friend flip a 36 foot steel hull, using the wood wheels, Well we got it up to the point of no return, and it got away from us. We were using a tree to pull it over and the tree keep it from continual rolling over not sure the square corner would have stopped it. as it was it came down with a BANG! One pane of steel had a 1/2 inch bow in it. Once that stuff starts moving there is no stopping it. The center of the wheels need to be close in line with the center of the hull, his was 3 feet from center line.
You just seem to be moving so fast with the build.
Great job on the garden, it will be a struggle keeping those lovely deer out though, they can jump amazing heights and absolutely love the vegetable offerings especially peas!
The trick is to put two short fences 6 ft apart. Like a mote. Deer do not have good visual depth perception and will not jump this dual fence. They can jump a single fence that’s is upwards of 12 feet. high
Looks like you and Malin have dueling projects.
thank you for the video!
Keep up the great work!
Exciting progress.
Great stuff guys coming along quite nicely 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love your garden set up!
Its amazing how quickly you are by yourself the majority of the time.. you really have moved forward steadily on this build
The production is consistently high quality, very thoughtfully done. Nice job on the woodwork. Don't forget your safety glasses tho. It made me happy hearing about the kitchen garden and your vision for what's ahead in the yard.
Thanks guys..
I hope you have the success Troy and Pascale had from their garden on the Ramshackle Ranch aka Free Range Sailing. If you need any advice, they were abundantly successful with their garden and livestock, cooking, canning, harvesting truffles, etc...
I am looking forward to flipping the boat.
Thanks for sharing your lives. 💐
High quality work.
Good job on the raised bed. 🎉🎉🎉
Nice episode ☺ thanks!
I just heard you talk about snails. If you can get it diatomaceous earth can help significantly.
Need a trail camera to see who visits your garden...
I have a tip for your beautiful vegetable garden. You can do two things: you paint copper coating on the planks or you put a copper tape. That is copper on an adhesive tape. That keeps the snails away (otherwise they are electrified). This is how you keep them. away from your plants. In an environmentally friendly way. Greetings from Holland, Remy
You may want to put in a few stakes along the long sections of the raised beds as they will bow out when filled and watered. Maybe one in the middle of the ends. :)
Well, I was hoping for a couple of cranes and what I envisioned as the “dance of cranes”.
But the roll cages basic down to earth tech has me blown away. But of course, so simple. That to will be a dance to watch.
Job well done on the fairing. Bravo!
Wow 🎉you are a working machine.
If your wheels are pneumatic, they will allow movement over the stone driveway. If the wheels are solid, movement over the stone is going to be harder. Either way, the wheels in total on the cradle must be rated for 11 or 12 tons. For me, it is going to be thrilling to watch you move the boat out of the barn, rotate the boat, then move the boat back into the barn. Oh, to prevent losing control of the boat movement, maybe have some kind of vehicle able to oppose the weight of the boat when in motion - like a tugboat able to both push and pull depending upon momentum. No doubt you will figure everything out. :¬) Webhead USA
We had spring here in Alberta ... last week. This week we have about 20-25 cm of snow and back to highs below 0c. Spring on the prairies. 🍁
Marlin, noticed the spacing between the uprights in the new garden seem to be about 4” wide, the space seems to be wide enough for rabbits to easily get in and nibble on your plants, or do you not have rabbits in your part of the country, just an observation Penny had?… We have a raised bed garden here in Canada and it’s fenced in with narrow spacing to prevent rabbits from entering…
We really enjoy following your family on RUclips….. Warm Regards, John and Penny, Ontario, Canada ( Retired Sailors ) in our late 70s…
You'll get hares there, but no rabbits. They're much larger than rabbits, but I don't know what kind of spacing width they can squeeze through.
Great show!!!
You could add a heater under the hull and the trapped heat will warm the hull itself which should speed up curing times. In essence you are able to warm the bottom of the hull from the instead out.
Spring is in the air here also. I have sown seeds in my greenhouse for out planting in May and June. Here in the Central Oregon Cascades we still have close to 1/3 meter of snow on the ground. Night temps and still well below 0° C and on sunny days in the low single digits. I like the little fence but not tall enough to keep our mule deer out of the garden. Here we have to have a fence that is close to 2.5 M tall. Enjoy your garden..
Organize a boat turning party at the summer solstice and invite the local community! Call it the Ran family flip out.
😂👍
Beautiful...
I built a considerably smaller boat under my raised house. I drilled the holes in the joists, greased them up and fitted sturdy pipe in between, and used those as rollers. Then basically jacked up each end of the hull and put slings around the boat and rollers and turned it over by pulling on the slings. It was so easy to turn it over it was funny. But of course that’s not going to work in your case for a whole lot of reasons. But as you say, there’s many ways of turning a boat.
there is a good article in wooden boat magazine #256 where they show rolling a 40 ft boat over in the street. they used the rounded plywood method you mentioned. i believe the plywood was mounted near the main bulkheads. thank you for great videos, im sure they are a pita to make.
In my part of the world we plow a dirt path between the farm field and house. So if the field catches on fire before harvest it doesn't have a direct path to the house. Our risk is lighting, wind that causes the power lines to arc, farm equipment failures or someone being reckless with fireworks. We call this a fire break and they are about 15 meters wide. Even a couple meters can be helpful.
👍🏼👏👏👏 keep going.😊
Another fantastic video! Step 7 will be to add wheels to the top of the roll frames. (So you can push the upright hull back into the barn) It’s too bad that you can’t create a large rotisserie!
Pole position, never managed before ! Looking forward to the great turn around.
I noticed a few green shoots from bulbs in your gard😮en already. In Southern Cali., some of our daffodils have bloomed and are faded. But, we are at 33.3 N., and you are way north of us. Good luck with your garden plans and play area for Vera!!
Looking good mate. Hope you stick to your dream of moving back on board.
Hi, GREAT WORK ALL ROUND and lets hope no hull video of it taking up residence in the small forest .😉👍👍👍
The garden is looking very good and I love your ideas for it . 👌🏻 Sailboat is lokin good 👍🏻
I've been enjoying every episode very much. I was surprised to learn in this one, Vera, who I learned last year was an experience boat builder (with her new tool belt), is also an accomplished gardener ! Amazing ! cheers and best,
4 or 5 mobile home axles would work great for moving the boat. When I built one in UK I got an old fire engine chassis from a scrap yard, I even could steer it.
Great video thank you! Did I hear you say a seating area in the garden? I had to laugh. Do you really think you'll have time to be sitting? Ha Ha.
Greetings from a sunny Bedfordshire. This project is looking good.
Great garden
Malin: I am impressed with the boxes in the kitchen garden! You did a great job! What is Johan doing? 😂
Busy fairing my small 5m Setka at the moment but done a 12m and 9m many years ago. It is hard work if you want a good job. You are doing a very good job and your arms must be killing you. I take my hat of to you. Almost done and you can get into exciting projects soon. Keep smiling!
can't wait to see how it's done. keep it up 💪🏼
Thanks very much.
Keep it up !!!
Stay safe and we'll see you next week.
I would like to see some more cooking and sit down for dinner meals and discussions of how the day went over supper - you used to show cooking when you were sailing. THX
Perfect..!
Malin please use safety glasses when using any power tools, I do enjoy your show
Ni är bäst hälsa lillkapten så klart
Whilst watching the segment Johan talking about flipping the boat whilst he's under it, some of Vera's scribblings on the wood frames can be seen. I wonder whether they could be saved, and made into a decorative feature within the finished boat?
10:09 If it was 406, you'd be crying over your arms hurting (even more than they probably do now) from sanding :D
On a serious note, awesome progress!
See if you can find scaffold wheels..then have pipes welded to plates that can be bolted to the strongback. Wheels come in 8 and 10 in with a 1in stem
Turning the hull is a big task, one concern I have is controlling the rate of turn so it doesn't roll over and over into the field. Then how to keep the entire shape in line, I'm sure you've thought through it but it's like a very significant challenge. I love the raised beds, I have used pieces the size of timber railway sleepers (best not use original railway sleepers due to preservative chemicals and oil). Look out for some oak or other hardwood.
plywood reinforcers along the internal frames. plywood reinforcers across internal frames. number of plywood to pocket strong square flipper. rolls made of iron pipe(thick plywood under square flipper, pipe under thick plywood, it will look like "scale", you will be able to roll in one person.) If total weight 12t, and there are 2 square supports, each carries 6 tons, plywood thickness of the bottom about 16cm should carry.
