1. 3:26 Clothing – My guess is that side of the barn faces the prevailing wind. Seeing how shallow the roof overhang is, during a snowstorm wind blows snow up through the roof corrugation openings into the loft. I have seen that situation before. Might be worth sealing off thise areas again unless you want to shovel snow out of the loft. Old-timers rarely did things without purpose. Regards.

2. Aspestos?

3. Cant you make the stairs so you ca pull up out of your way. A pulley system.

4. You two do more in a day than some people do in a week. Boat is looking good and look forward to seeing the fibreglass on.

5. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

6. I guess the clothes were there to prevent rain/snow blowing through the gaps and destroying the hay. Snow particularly travels up through gaps.

7. The boat almost deserve a clear varnish. Looks great. Your guys work ethicts and how you embrace new technology is how you build is crazy good.

8. What about just a simple set of hinges at the top of the stairs and a block and tackle to raise the bottom up to the ceiling?

9. Thanks!

10. Maybe Johan has a technique, but I have found it very difficult to eliminate air from under the cloth laminate. I simply gave up on cloth and used only woven roving and mat.

11. About putting a primer coat of epoxy on the whole hull, be aware that chemical bonds between multiple layers of epoxy (ie, where you apply the next coat when the last coat is still sticky) are stronger than mechanical bonds (where you make scratches in a cured layer, before applying the next coat). It might be better to apply all of the layers in one go, doing section by section. Hope this helps

12. was to keep the birds out silly .

13. Beautiful , amazing progress.

14. Sanding ovations for all your hard work.

15. I was waiting to see the huge vacuum cleaner, or maybe a cat.

16. I believe "S" stands for "Structural grade", as opposed to "Electrical grade". Nice overview.

17. I know it’s possibly been mentioned but that roof looks like asbestos sheeting which is safe as long as it’s left alone but those old clothes are pushed into the eaves right up against the asbestos roofing sheets, I’m only mentioning this because I’m concerned about your health

18. Nice stairs.

19. Well done!

20. Som vanligt sitter jag och bara så imponerade av ert arbete med båten

21. Great progress, I can't wait to see this boat in the water and all the sailing you will do. It looks like the loft might have corrugated asbestos, perhaps not, be careful of that stuff!

22. Amazing progress as always. I think I would want a hand rail and knee rail on those stairs just for a bit of comfort and any little people that may want to explore…😁 Sail Safe Guys, Ant & Cid.

23. Really am enjoying this stage of the build. Having that loft upstairs looks like a great bonus! Good job on your stairs!

24. Just curious, when RAN III is coming Leyte would there be any thought about exhibiting at a boat show ? Love the detail, craftsmanship and the really interesting updates and stories- very well done. Thank you for sharing 👍👍🇺🇸🙂🖖

25. love your show….

26. Its a Nice stears but a handrail is better for your safty I think 👍👍

27. I think it’s time Johan switched his name to Noah

28. You should use scaffold you could rent some with a stairs incorporated.

29. 😊

30. The stairs look like a giant sailboat companionway

31. Dewalt onboard ?

32. The farmhouse would make such a cool "maker space" or small apartment community. That loft looks bigger than my studio apartment. Are you going to keep the farmhouse after the boat is launched? If not perhaps you could sell it early before the boat is finished to have more funds available. Perhaps the loft could be turned into a finished studio, framed and insulated for use during the build, then finished afterwards. It would add to the total build time, but give you a warm space for fiberglass work over the winter… Just a thought, might not be such a great idea if it impacts the schedule too much. That's one of the more difficult decisions on big projects, knowing when to "not" do something, or when to go with the simpler approach.

33. You two are amazing it seems to be as Sisyphus effort but the blue clearing in the gray sky is ever widening. Thank you for taking us along with you we are all cheering for you all Love will conquer ❤❤❤
