1. Best Wishes !

2. Nice choice, make sure the wood you pick is watered out well. Young wood is no good for ships hull.
   I have a balsa wood core laurin koster. And she is solid still. Obviously the bottom / keel is not wood core.

   A trick to make wood core a-bit water resistant is to use polyester with in a 90% aceton mix. This will penetrate the wood reduce water / moist ingesting. It does work well with epoxy skin so not worry to prime some wood parts with the “wood rot stop” mix of acetone and polyester.. no harder needed on that mix.
   Succes

3. Kolla nya HR 50, endel bra lösningar i den 👍

4. I love seeing how excited you both are about your new boat! You mentioned Tally Ho – our boat (a 1981 Valiant 40) is in a yard just around the corner from where Tally Ho was for a long time. We are currently having our head completely rebuilt and lithium ion batteries are being installed. Next summer we plan to cruise British Columbia and we have made lots of notes after watching your videos from that area.

5. This is an exciting project, one I have dreamt of for a very long time but never got to due to the hectic work life. As I'm sure you already have researched but just in case, have you thought of building using Corcell strips in lieu of the wooden strips? The strip plank method has been used by several shipyards here in Holland and by DIY's, great system. One of the drawbacks that I found when doing my research at the time was that the wooden strips "print through" the epoxy laminate. Wood tends to work quite a bit due to temperature differences resulting in the print through. There are/were several yards that started to build in Cornell "bead and cove" strips using the same method as wood strip "Woodcore". Also a consideration would be "Strongplank" which is a core encapsulated with unidirectional epoxy glass and assembled using the same method as woodcore building. As for the wood type, the great advantage of cedar wood as opposed to pine etc is the the long grain structure (pine tends to have lots of "Knots") giving it strength in tension. Anyway, looking forward to the next video's. ps: check out the "Orion 49" from Satellite yacht design, has a deckhouse. Cheers

6. So glad you are building a monohull, good luck from Holland! 😊

7. Hi after commenting on your post I received a reply claiming I had won a prize package. I ignored it as a scam but thought I should inform you

8. Very exciting news. We’ve watched all your vids from the beginning with Ran 1 up till now. Our favs are the Caribbean first & second visits. We’re a senior couple and we missed our window for this kind of life & adventure but thanks to you guys we’re living that dream through you. Vera is so cute and she’s already a good little sailor. I’d love to help work on the build, I’m quite handy with tools and my Dad & I built a Glen L plywood ski boat in the sixties. We’re excited for the project to begin. Oh!! we love the farm too.

9. The Vikings sailed to new found land and eventually to Japan. The modern description of Viking boats is very unlikely. They would have to be least wind resistant keeling design. So that the bow and stem are the deepest point of the boats. The midpoint between the mast and forestay should be the deepest point of the boats. This is a universal aspect of sailboat design. Polynesian Netherlands Arab Italians french English American. All of the fastest and most successful sailboat design is stem to stern academic keeling design. This reduces heeling over and increases speed of the sailboat.

10. A gaff rigged full sail schooner that is deepest point between the mast and forestay. That is my favorite but not very modern description.

11. That all sounds very exciting, I would love to help if I can fit it in. (Used to be a carpenter, teacher now….). Have you thought of looking for second hand timber such as beams from old warehouses. A few years ago there were beams available in all sorts of good woods in the UK but supply might have run dry????? Also I sail a little 35' westerly Conway and she is ketch rigged. I never expected to have a ketch rig but now I love it. the ability to douse the main and sail under genoa and mizzen is so useful when cruising. I would recommend go and give it a try but only in 20 to 30knts. Just my two pennyworth and something to add to the mix? Good luck with it.

12. Who is designing the boat?

13. Will your engine be electric or diesel?

14. Honestly I think this is a huge mistake. I think it would have been far cheaper to buy an old 50” boat and do it up. Trying to build one from scratch is going to bust your budget. If you think you are going to earn YouTube money to pay for it I think it is unlikely you will get the following of Leo or anything like it. I think your viewing numbers will go down.

15. I'll come out and volunteer to work on the farm for a few weeks next summer if you need some help Johan.

17. Glad to know you watch Tally Ho. I'm assuming you also watch Mads and Ava on Athena! :> Very much looking forward to this adventure! :>

18. Deck saloon: smart! 👍

19. The couple on salt & tar are just about finished their boat build its been 5 years since they layed the keal they splashed the boat about a year and a half and have been working on the finish work like I said they say they'll finish it this year and sail off to parts unknown , and it will have taken them less then 6 years if the do , it was mostly the two of them so it can be done , I think they could have done it in a year less with better planning he built it from his head witch ked to a lot of building parts and deciding he didn't like it and rebuilding if things planning is the key

20. I can't wait till you get started. It's going to be so much fun watching you build Ran 3.

21. As a hobbyist wood worker that absolutely loves the details and explanation you guys give on projects, I cannot tell you how excited I am for this project! If I can manage to make it to Sweden, I’d love to help out!

22. Johann, your first success in this endeavor… was finding a wife who is as excited about building a boat as you are. Rare and amazing! I'm also excited to watch… and help if you need it.

23. Now that Garret and Ruth of Salt & Tar are on the water after their 5 year build I look forward to another build especially as your will use modern techniques rather than their traditional build. I have followed you since early on with Ran 1.

24. This is so very exciting! That barn is amazing. The plans, your dreams, I am here for all of it! 🎉🎉

25. Your estimation of 5 years is quite reasonable to me, I am also in the midway of building my own aluminum catamaran, she is 13 x 6.5 meters, I had completed the right hull and it only takes me 6 months, I only work 2 days per week since I still have a day job to do

    Once you decide to do it and have right tool, skill and building place, it will go fast. For me, even with part time, I estimate 4 years to complete the whole structure (not including electronic, solar, water system and control)

    Enjoy your video a lot, quite refreshing, thanks for sharing

26. Wow must be good money in sailing YouTube vdos new farm and building a new boat good life for some.

27. You did the right decision by taking wood, well done Sir.

28. How some chickens, a few sheep, and a cow.. That would ensure varied content for the channel, better health, and more energy for the boat building project. On the other hand, you might be able to buy all of the above and more from nearby farms and. you get to know your neighbors.

29. I had my 60ft steel yacht in the water and sailing at 18mths, mostly working myself, so with your work ethic applied, don't be concerned about the time, it's worth it!
