When life happens… Nothing you can plan for and certainly nothing you wish would ever happen. This made us change our whole life situation. From cruising to land life and now building RAN III from scratch! These past weeks have been a whirlwind. There is so much going on. But despite the circumstances we are very excited for this new chapter and we hope you are too!
We are a Swedish family who have sailed the world since 2016 while sharing the adventures here on UA-cam. Our boat and home is a Najad 440 from 1988. 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
With Mads now finished on his refit and out cruising, there's a void to the weekly dose of glorious sanding. This will be a great substitute.
Sailing Magic Carpet is a great refit channel.
The two that rebuild a totaled boat, expeditionevansyoutube are great. They almost caught up with ran in the Atlanta before she was sold
Thats Glorious Man glitter ...😁😉
Though i think this is going to be steel or Aluminium for the hull... though there is a Swedish company thats been building boat hulls from stainless steel for decades..🤔?
Im wondering if they might revisit some of the Dutch designs..
Don't forget Leo and Tally Ho.
And M&J sailing 's catamaran
The new boat will come to be hailed as one of the world's greats. Can't wait to see construction begin.
So very sorry about illness among your loved ones. Doesn’t life twist and turn. The decision to sell Ran Il was maybe to be. Your decision to remain near family and to build your own boat is a golden opportunity. Also and importantly, Vera will know her family and will establish where home is no matter where she roams as she is older. Nice to have that anchor. Looking6 forward to the videos of the build, probably even more than cruising. Wishing you goodness in this new adventure.
Absolutely! It's also good for Vera to be on land and use her extremities as she ages at this lovely, tender age. She's such a well adjusted, smart, happy child.
I think you're looking at more than five years until RAN III is in the water. Quite a project you've taken on and I know she'll be beautiful.
I'm not a sailor, but I love your videos. The combination of sailing, building and adventure is great. However, what distinguishes your channel is the three of you. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. I'm really looking forward to the new direction and have nothing but respect for your family commitment. Best regards.
Wow, building your own boat, maybe I'll come over and watch you working!!
You’re welcome anytime Barry! 😉
You made an unselfish decision for all the right reasons. Family first. We will not stop following your many future adventures as we all have to see Vera , our adopted grand child, grow and spread her little wings. So many changes in such a short time. Amazing. God Bless.
i am envious , the three of you are my favorite Vikings .
influenced
Congratulations! Family is everything. Being close when big life changes happen is important. Having a smaller boat so Vera can keep her sea legs is great. I will enjoy watching your boat building process.
Wow that was big news and kind of unexpected! Best of luck with everything!! I know nothing about boat building but it sounds like fun... I might have to pay a visit!
Make the anchor for them Torbjörn !
woud love to see this Anchor...
GOOD LUCK, REG
Sorry to hear of the family member illness. Congratulations on buying your new (older) little boat and look forward to seeing you building your dream yacht. Take care.
There is lots of sail boat plans, for sure.
Sorry to hear about the illness in the family. I am sure you will make wonderful lemonade out of those lemons. Best wishes to you and your family member and thanks for sharing!
Sorry to hear about your family member.
You know Johan you are a man of many talents. If you manage to pull off building your own boat I really will be impressed. I watched the amount of work Doug Jackson at SV Seeker put into building his boat over a decade. He managed to recruit a small army to come down to Tusla, Oklahoma to build it. Maybe you should try and find someone to make the most critical welds on the bow and the keel.
Big futereplans, nice to follow you in this period.
Very exciting and I'll keep watching certainly 🙂...
Congratulations 🎊 I used to watch your videos in the very beginning. You guys inspired me to sail!! Lots of things happened in life, and I dropped off. I googled your info and got your channel!! I am back as an old and subscriber!! Now, I see a new addition to the family, I luv her! Your lives are sooo magical. I am sooo happy to see you guys again!!
Lemonade for sure!
Disrupting your personal lives in support of family reveals true integrity; looking forward to the design and building of your Dream Boat and your local sailing adventures.
I have followed you all for quite some time. I will continue to because I respect and admire you both as a family and sailors. I look forward to future episodes! 😘
Wow!!! Your news kept getting bigger, and bigger! I look forward to following you on this new adventure!💕
Matt and Jess have been building their own catamaran for what seems like forever. It’s such a huge huge slog. Good luck y’all.
Life on the hulls in Australia, building one off a mold.
I wish you, and your families all the best!
And very excited to follow this new adventure!
Of course, grow a boat in a barn. Wonderful harvest. Thanks for sharing.
A totally different direction for you. Thanks for letting me continue to follow along. Looking forwards to it👍
So sorry to learn of the illness of your family member; warm thoughts with them and with you. But thank you for sharing the news, and for the exciting prospect of a build-your-own-boat project!
I’ve been following you guys since the very beginning … and I’m staying onboard for the latest chapter. I follow the awesome pair on Magic Carpet, but now that Mads and the lovely couple on Salt & Tar are sailing, there’s a gap for a construction and sanding job or two … !!
Go well. 🎉👌🏽💯
Great video, thank you!
My warmest thoughts and best wishes for your family member! This is such exciting news to build your own boat. Can’t wait to follow along weekly!
I was sorry to hear of your reason for staying in Sweden and send best wishes to your family. You are definitely making the best of difficult circumstances and I will follow your new adventures in sailing and boat building with great interest.
Now I’m onboard with RAN. Having watched Mads for 6yrs and lost interest following them, I’m excited for this build. Just what this channel needed, sorry for the circumstances that brought its timing forward.
Family sailing just turns channels into lifestyle shows. Nothing against sailing with children but it’s not (and shouldn’t be) very adventurous or entertaining. Good luck with everything.
This new adventure will be a mixed bag of up's an downs. We will be here to watch support an follow the journey... Thanks for sharing your lives with us. I'd love to come work on boat... ✌🏼💗😊❣️
You and I have much in common, but I’m an American, not Swedish.
1) I bought my first Volvo in 1971 and drove only Volvos until 2015.
2) In 1968 I bought an Irwin 31 foot fiberglass sloop and named her “Beau Monde”
I paid $15,000 for her and sold her in 1975 for $5,000. I used her mostly for weekending in the Atlantic Ocean at Atlantic City, New Jersey. I loved the sailing life, almost as much as you do. And I sailed as crew from Maryland to Bermuda in 1975.
I'm 91 years old now and I've seen every one of your videos. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to relive the happiest time of my life. I'll follow your videos as long as
I can. I'M IN LOVE WITH THE THREE OF YOU SO PLEASE TAKE CARE.
So sorry to hear about your family member, but yes yes yes for the new boat build series I can’t wait.
@Telegram Me🔗Ransailing really 🤗 whatever could it be?
Wouldn't miss it for the world! Oh wait, that's included too!
Congrats! Look forward to following your life changes. Very exciting to watch and see how it will unfold.
Sorry about your sad news, wish for the best for your family. The new project will be amazing
So graceful the life itself serves you on your journey towards your wish to build your own boat 🚤. All the best wishes and thoughts for your close family member 🙏 and yourselves☀️. Lovely video with a big heart ❤️ as always 🙏

Hello there. Sorry to hear about your family member being ill. Family and friends that is all we have.right and you will cherish the moments you have. On the other front wow.lots of stuff going on and i will look forward to watching this all traspire. Much love to all of you. xxxx
WOWWWWWWWW SUPER EXCITED!
Prayers for your loved one and you all
wow !!! thanks soooooooo much for this nice video cheers Siegmar
Very exciting! How life teaches us about the turns in the road of life.
Wow! Building your own boat! This will be an excellent journey to watch. Johan is so handy it will be good to see him building your dream boat. This is just so cool!
I love your videos and your beautiful family, you guys are truly blessed. I look forward to the build.
Best wishes to your family. Looking forward to seeing the beautiful coast of Sweden.
25 years ago, we sailed up and down the coast of California to Mexico twice, raced the transpac, Newport to Ensenada both twice and chartered in the Med and Caribbean and lived aboard for several years with our toddler and sheep dog - such an awesome time. Then school localized us into the reality that education is only somewhat transportable and then kid sports. So we renovated a home then built a home on 5 acres planted an olive orchard harvested olives for oil and had a great time with the kid. Did the same with our home in France but did vines instead again great time - now. life moves on an we are back in boating for the last five years all over again. So my suggestion do the farm enjoy it to the max kids grow up as fast as you grow old enjoy. Then look for a mistress - she'll be waiting.
Hey, sorry to hear that a family member is not too well. I hope things get better for them. Wow on building your own boat, it is going to be an awesome project. I hope you find the right place and get it. You guy's rock in everything you do. Love the vlog :)
big news and big commitment, good luck and I look forward again to follow your family journey.
Good luck we did the same thing moving to Puerto Rico from the states because of a sick family member.
A great great great reason to uproot your life even though it can be personally painful.
Wish you the best of luck!!!! Keep us posted!
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Another channel building a boat! Can´t wait!
I´d love you guys to review my plans with all your experience ☺️😉
Best wishes in your new ventures. The boat seller seems like a solid guy.
congratulations
Another step in the journey of life . Drop a little wine in the sea for luck .
Thank you
I already watch boat building channels, too, so I am happy to follow along.
Nice change of plans
Looking forward to seeing the build
Wow! building your own "boat." You might want to get in touch with Aladino at Sailing Magic Carpet. He is a certified boat builder who was trained in Sweden. They are currently refitting a large wooden Sailboat, Magic Carpet #2, in a barn plus he previously rebuilt a total wreck, Magic Carpet #1, over a four year period. His talents are amazing. I look forward to continuing to follow your channel. You are a beautiful family.
take your time, enjoy !!🪁
"On the road again"..."TLC"...I'm so impressed with all of your knowledge of English and our expressions. I would imagine I am speaking for many of us (your followers) in saying that seeing Lars' heartfelt hopes for the boats future and your new adventure makes this channel so real. I hope that you do not feel inadequate in making such a drastic change from the cruising life because many of us that follow you are here for what you bring to this channel: "REAL LIFE". You are in our hearts and we all hope that you truly enjoy this part of your life.
They are authentic, genuine people. Doing it there way without all the dramas, not trying to keep up with the Jones as we say in Australia.. I believe they will also create a new audience of people who enjoy watching the boat being made, they will be fine.. I bet some will opt to help the build.. ✨⛵️🌿
Great to see you haven't adjourn from the sea life. Just moved on to a more pleasing aspect. Waiting in anticipation with weekly news and enjoy. Vera gets involved with formal education beyond the ocean? I'm sure she will excel as with driving the car! A true challenge for your family. Good Luck!
Hello Malin, Johan and Vera! Quoting the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa: "Para viajar basta existir", or in free translation "To travel, just exist"). Fair winds and seas!
What great news guys, can’t wait to see the new boat design and build process, I’m sure it will all go well👍⛵️😊👏 sadden to hear your news about your family member, give them my best wishes and God speed for a full recovery ❤️
How exciting. I will be with you on this new adventure.
Build a Puffin design by Olivier van Meer .. I’m sure that it is your Best Investment ever.
Make sure the pre cutting is done by KM jacht and associated.
What a undertaking!! My admiration.
Something tells me Vera's approaching schooldays we're a major factor in this life changing decision!
How exciting. You will be starting a boat build.
Another way forward for your project is to buy an empty hull or hull and possibly deck, You could buy a production hull (say: X-Yachts) or contract a boat yard to build only the hull to your design. This could save you a lot of time and give you only the cabinets - your expertise - to do. Also you do not need to put together all the tools and equipment to build the hull - fiberglass, trestles, vacuum bag etc
In National Lampoon's 1978 movie Animal House there a scene with John Belushi who kept saying the same two words. Inappropriate language for a family channel here, but that scene immediately flashed in my mind watching this episode. Wow.
I very much look forward to following your new adventure
After all these years finally first, best of luck with your new venture!
Good luck on your next adventure can’t wait to see the new project.
Best of luck ,looking forward to see you building your new boat
This was meant to be for sure! Congratulations! You are good people!🥰
Very exciting times for you all the very best from the old Englishman.
Of course we will continue to follow you in your adventures!
Let’s drink this lemonade !
This will be an exiting change of direction for you and I think that your new boat will be everything you ever needed or want in a new boat. It will also be cool to see more of your local sailing waters , and see more of the country you call home. 🇸🇪 thank you for sharing your lives with us.
You going to build a nice big Colin-Archer designed sailboat ? Or maybe something long and fast ?
Sorry to hear the news of family challenges, but a Fantastic decision!
So exciting to be able to follow You on the journey towards Your dream boat. And I'm jealous on Your newly purchased boat. That much boat for only 5.800 US. That's amazing and not possible in Denmark, but good for You 🙂. Looking forward to it all.
Wishing the best for your loved ones and your little family in this new chapter. I can hardly imagine how you feel about this big change. But I was never there for the tropical/paradisiac landscapes although they are nice to watch. I'm mainly interested in following your journey as a familly pursuing its passion for sailing. Looking forward to another kind of great adventures. All the best!
Wow! So much exciting news in one episode!
I am so happy for the 3 of you. I can't wait to see the new build. The temporary boat at 31 ft is a big drop from RAN 2 but hopefully the new boat you build will be bigger. I think your videos are about to get a little more exciting. I can't wait to see the build. :-)
logistics and planning this build is a big commitment but so rewarding when completed . Best of luck
Wishing you all the best in your new adventure. Sounds like a good plan to build your own boat.
I admire your flexibilty about how you keep on going in your life ,while taking other paths.
I admire your enthusiasm I know for a fact I couldn’t put myself through it. I’d rather just buy a new boat 🤣
All is a beautiful dream.
Awesome guys..I'm in..
Oh very exciting! Looking forward to the design and build! As well as the sailing of course ;-)
Go RAN!
Wow, so much energy.
Love the changes, thanks.
Fascinating episode , the future process sounds very interesting.
All the very best for your your new adventures.
_____ All these big changes in such a short time now becomes clear . I applaud you on your compassion for your family member. It is the cornerstone of why you had to return to Sweden now, but you force yourself to plan plan a bright future. So many others would just put their life on hold, but that is NOT your nature. Congratulations.
She’s a cutie! Enjoy this boat!
All the best for this new great adventure.
