You both do SUCH a nice job of narrating the videos! You both speak so well and your English is better than most of my friends (mine too, I suppose). But I especially liked Johan's description of the new head sail. It was like he was reading from a script but I know he wasn't. And, Vera is just the cutest thing!!! Thank you! Ron
Another salute to remembering Tycho Brahe well: Celestial navigation works from the same observational and mathematical discipline. GPS fundamentally combines CELNAV with radio direction finding. Nicely done! I enjoyed how this episode highlighted one scientific pioneer who painstakingly laid the groundwork for today's marine technology. Blessing to the RAN II and her family! S/V Windwalker
Up in Falkenberg they are Now renovering the old classic boat Viking that has been at the dock in Gothenburg for decades.. Be aware that there is a lot of ice north of you 👍 Vera is growing fast and you must be soo amazed and proud of her ✨
Interesting that all of the different cultures in the world have contributed to science, one way or another. In this case, astronomy! As well, excellent explanation of your dyneema sails, why you chose them, their size and how they perform. Great video all around!
Thanks for giving a commentary on this location as few sailing UA-camrs give a background and description of the places visited. The constant never ending pretty pictures without content nor reference to anything get tiresome as other dedicated travel channels can cover these places. You are filling in gaps in my knowledge of places skipped in my regular education. Thank you again. Cheers
@@davidclarke7728 -- pretty pictures and destinations are great! Lack of detail and attention can make one a restless spirit. Everyone has their own style. Time to give RAN a few more views!
Hello there! I guess it goes without saying that I love you very much. I've been a subscriber to you for a long time. the child was born, and so you bought a boat. maintenance deficiencies of the new boat were fixed. COME ON, IT'S ADVENTURE TIME. 🤗❤️🇹🇷
I wish I could send you some warm dry winds. Your family is intrepid and we all know you take safety for your family above all these. I have always loved astronomy and really enjoyed the segment on the Swedish astronomer who didnt even use lens at the time, not invented yet. What a great observatory he built. I googled and see Celsius was a Swedish astronomer too !! With all the grey cloudy days it must have been a Heavenly (literally) celebration with each clear and drier night .
It is really nice to see so many historic sites. I live in on the prairies Canada and there isn't a lot of historic sites around here. Even the oldest buildings are only about 100-130 years old. Thanks for sharing the beauty of your homeland.
I feel that the best "historic" sites had pirates or at least pirate tales about them (even privateers - as there is some distinction between, depending on the colors that were flown at that time). Arrrgh! Question: What is the difference between Vikings and Pirates? Answer (part 1): Pirates sail the warm waters and have fancy cannons and fancy clothes and rum! Answer (part 1): Vikings sail in long boats and do not get an EF about pirates! Vikings would probably love certain types of rum!
Your daughter is so cute, God bless her. When she grows up she will be a good sailor. The episode was beautiful thank you. Your sails look great, Cheers from New York...
Vera with that hat with ears is amazingly cute. I admire that you do not allow the cold weather to prevent you from sailing. I keep looking forward to your videos. :-) Stay safe, together and enjoy the adventures.
HI, LOOKING AT THE MAP AT THE START OF THE VIDIO REMINDED ME OF 2014 WHEN I SPENT 32 DAYS DRIVING FROM ENGLAND TO NORD CAP AND BACK, PASSING YOUR LOCATION. WHAT LOVLEY MEMERYS, AND WHAT A TRIP, 5,900 MILES. THANKYOU FOR REMINDING ME. REGARDS R.
Your new rigging is so beneficial to your ability to single hand. Malin will have no difficulty if needed to do so. Thank you for sharing. Safe travels.
And Vera steals the show once again! She has such beautiful eyes and innocent face! Will you be teaching Vera English at the same time she learns to speak Swedish or just Swedish for now? She's going to have quite a following here in America before she can even speak, let alone start her own UA-cam channel!
Thanks for sharing. 20 years ago I spent quite some time in Helsingborg for work projects. Ven was visible from my hotel. I always wanted to go there but never could make it.
We know what you mean about the grey days, it’s the same here in the UK! Roll on spring. I like your back screen to the spray hood, we have one as well and call it the ‘garage’ when it’s up, it always surprises me that more people don’t have one. That’s for another great video.
Been watching and sub'ed for a while now and always enjoy your work. Weather its on the boat, behind the camera or editing style. Agree with many here how well you both sail and keep your boat. But.... the reason for my first post is your beautiful daughter.... she has the best smile and reactions and such a cutie. Stay safe , and warm Steve n Melita from Oz
My Wife & I are following your sailing and then pulling up Apple Maps to see the Island Ven - so interesting - right between Sweden & Denmark - I really enjoy the technical sailing improvements explanations
My family and I are big fans of your channel. You do an amazing job of educating and inspiring future cruisers. Love the history of the ports you visit. It would be fun to learn more about your lives growing up. You have provided great content during the covid pandemic, giving us a great diversion with every episode. Keep up the great work and thanks for taking us along on your adventure!
Another great video. I enjoy the historical facts of the locations you visit. The machines that charge you the off-season docking fees are one of the downfalls of the digital age and solar power. The reason for all the bird poop on the docking is probably due to the washrooms being closed for winter. Thanks again.
Beautiful country. I know of what you speak when you talk about winters in your neck of the woods as I live in Oregon and winters here are grey and rainy too. Does Vera just get cuter and cuter or what!! Thanks for sharing. Life is good~
It was Kepler who formulated the empiral laws from Brahe's observations, which Newton used for his gravity law. The Danes hated Brahe, so they took down the castle stone by stone and used it for building. Newton's laws are still used for travels in the solar system.
@@flyingdutchman7585 In this case civil liberties allows you to kill yourself or others at the whim of your governor. Republican I believe. That shows no respect for mankind. 228 died in Florida from Covid-19 on the 4th February.
@@flyingdutchman7585 no , the Governor is an idiot, his duty is to protect the people of FL, wearing a mask, stops the spread. till enough people are vaccinated
@Flying Dutchman, Not wearing a mask is just stupid, our state is one of the worst and the Governor may have many reasons besides being in Trumps back pocket now, our coffers depend on tourism, snowbirds contribute many dollars but also take vaccines from locals. It is complicated. Intelligent folks wear masks, just like stopping at red lights or for EMS vehicles.
You guys are braving the cold and rain and I'm waiting for a good weather day to move my boat 10 miles to Gig Harbor by Tacoma WA. We got almost one week of constant rain and wind and 40sF
Children, as wonderful and joyful as they are, dictate life towards a different paradigm. It's all good, just roll with it and enjoy the life.... fair winds.
TYCHO! That was great. I so want to visit there someday. I’ll be using this footage in my astronomy class in a few months. So glad you got back there and were able to capture such great shots. Thank you for sharing it!
Well composed video with outstanding editing..Love the "chat" from Johan about the sails and Malin's handling of the main sail furling .Thanks for sharing..
your sails a great. (I'm biased as I sail with UK Sails International Vice President here in the States...) and all my sails are UK (both cruising AND racing ) ;-) you'll have many years of use and superior customer service with those.
Thank you for an interesting trip. I love learning about historical people and events and will do some reading on Brahe as a result of this video. I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I love seeing these fascinating winter sailing episodes.
Great episode again ..just fyi that offshore Viking Ship at 2:42 that you both pass, I was responsible for arranging one of her sister vessels for use on the feature film "Tenent" released last year, you will see it featured prominently when you both get a chance to watch the movie. Vera looks so cute in those hats with ears on them !
Unusual to hear the sound of the Mainsail unfurling as in other boats its not evident, love you guys and looking forward to when you can stretch your sailing legs and go further, cheers.
You cannot say the castle stood there without saying why it isn't there now :-(. Between Ran and Jonna Jinton, I am getting my full Swede fix. Vera! Vera! Looked smashing in her striped coat.
Hey guys, watch a movie titled "A Christmas Story". Seeing Vera being bundled up made me think of "Ralphie's" little brother in the movie. Whoever wrote the story, knew how kids work their parents to get what they want! .........I think it was my dad's favorite movie.
Johan, you should still attach the guard rail to the rear. Otherwise it's to dangerous especially in winter. Always happy sailing to Vera, Malin and You. Greetings Michael
That’s one of the reasons we’re sailing north. 😊 We need a press tool to complete the lifelines so we’re fixing this at our next destination where we can borrow the tool...
Dyneema being a polyester is also less susceptible to UV damage compared to Dacron which is nylon. Cost is the only down side to Dyneema in my estimation...
Well done RAN! Wonder if is because of C19 or whatever...but all the sail channels seem to be freezing these days! Magic Carpet is in the cold Netherlands UMA is in Norway dodging cold winds and even high seas... Fair Isle is cold even in Venice and DELOS catches cold winds in the Eastern US states....! Cheers
People have become very comfortable and wants allot of extras (like RAN II) which means the boats will be very expensive to buy. Then there is this thing called winter (depending on where you live obviously) and here in Sweden (except for Skåne and the west coast) you will need to put your boat on dry land during nov-april (where I live). This means sails, mast, boom, sprayhood and all other textiles needs to be removed in the autumn and the opposite in the spring. Again lots of work and people are too comfortable and in too much hurry for that.
You both do SUCH a nice job of narrating the videos! You both speak so well and your English is better than most of my friends (mine too, I suppose).

That seat for Vera is such a good. She is part of the crew.
YES!
When will more crew members (babies?) be produced?
OK, maybe that was rude. Still, I have questions.

So comforting to watch your videos. Thank you for the calm, story-telling and allowing us to be a part of your lives. Sweet Vera rocks!
Great job gu,s love the way she cut,s the water ..keep chasing the smiles made they always be to the front

The new rigging seems to be working well... A lot easier to work single handed.... Thanks again for another stress free enjoyable episode...
When I see Ran Sailing, I feel better ...........
Watching you guys, I get to see places I've never been to and what I like, you go off the path to far away places tourtest never go. Thank you.

The "no masks required" can be challenged. See the infection rates in FL.

I really enjoy the early early history!
Thanks.🤠
I would recommend you to build/install a sidegate in your lifelines. We have them in our Arcona and they help alot when docking sideways.
If it is so dirty ( the dock), we always put an old thick rope (rolled up - @) or some wet cloth, old towel).
You guys are braving the cold and rain and I'm waiting for a good weather day to move my boat 10 miles to Gig Harbor by Tacoma WA. We got almost one week of constant rain and wind and 40sF
That's progress for you.
So enjoy your channel.

would be great to see a full sequence of getting the sails out and trimmed to the point of engine off guys. Love your work!

Even if the borders don't open, there is still a huge amount of Sweden's coastline yet to be explored, north of Stockholm. :-)
I guess I forgot that Ran II doesn't have a water-maker. Do you have plans to add one as you did with your earlier boat?
Love to watch you sailing with new RIG !!!! Cheers!
Thank you guys for 237..
Glad to see you’re still cruising. Stay healthy and show us where you travel. Learn your boat! I’m sailing a 10 m ketch.
Our current world problems have brought the blessing of being able to experience your beautiful home !
