- Marstrand is a summer sailing idyll and this place also happens to be the seat for the Rutgerson factory who produces sail and deck equipment. We get a tour by Ludvig who has sailed around the world with his family and we get to sleep aboard their boat Mary!
Mary af Rövarhamn channel: / @thesymary
We are a Swedish couple who wanted a different kind of life. So we moved aboard our sailboat Ran, a custom built Beason 40 in aluminium and untied the lines in the middle of the Swedish winter in January 2016. There is no set route and we will go where the wind and our minds take us.

Ludvig torture testing those bearings in order to improve an already superior product. That is what it takes to maintain your reputation and place in a competitive market. He deserves the success he has seen.
Thank you lady M, and Johan, and little Mermaid, for a most enjoyable video.
I enjoyed the factory tour very much but I loved seeing your country. Mary was beautiful! Thank you Ludvig, for going through all of that in English for us. My hat is off to all bi and multi lingual people. Speaking English all my life and I still learn and scratch my head. Thank you two again also.
Ludvig, you are so impressively smart and keen to not reveal too much. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and employing women in your factory. English is a difficult language. THANK YOU! Excellent presentation. I'm currently looking to see if I can find out more about your sailing around the world. Thank you, Malin and Johan.
I agree. Great tour. No problem understanding his English.
Thank you. Glad you liked it. We have a blog from our circumnavigation, and more recent travels. It is in Swedish, but Google Translate might work for you. symary.com/
Very appreciative that this boat maker was able to explain things in English for us from America. Hats off to this video thank you
@@SteifWood Hey Mr. Stiff , why did you have to bring Politics into this forum ? ,, Shirly didn't ,
I appreciate how people around the world try to explain complicated and technical aspects of equipment in English - which isn't their native tongue. I've an ancient Danish heritage - and wouldn't be able to say hello to my ancestors. People who speak more than one language are very smart people.
Murray westenskow I speak three on a daily basis . All Scandinavian people are being brought up by speaking their native language at home and English at school , pretty much like the Hispanic do here in the US , particularly in states like FL , TX, AZ, and CA.
All kids learn English at school in Sweden, but just in the English lessons. The rest of school is of course in Swedish.
Love plant tours; don't even particularly care what is made :) Impressed with everyone working in their second or third languages for the presentation.
Great job guys...I know english is not your first language and it was really nice that you conducted this tour in English. I am sure this helped this company reach out to a broader market with really cool stuff. Thanks again
Excellent vlog. Thank you guys and Ludvik for sharing.
Thank you for the technical demonstrations and why Rutgerson is fortunate to have such a skilled product innovator like Ludwig to be a vital part of their team.
Johan, your knowledge of sailing products, equipment, and materials helped all of us understand the importance of "correct vs adequate" in sailing.
I’ve been running and managing various businesses for the last 35 years and I can say without any hesitation that - if I owned a company like Rutgerson (or one that actually built sailing vessels), I would most definitely want Johan “on board” as a technical advisor and designer! With his diverse skill-sets, abundant experience & knowledge, notoriety, congenial personality, and his ability to problem solve in pressure situations - Johan would be a huge asset to any of those businesses!!!
😁 Thanks! I’ll give you a call when I need a job! 👍😉
So true, love the passion he has as an artisan of his craft!
Excellent tour, thanks to Ludvig for this magnificent tour.
Thank you for taking the time to visit factories like this and filming it to share with us. There is little doubt that most of us cannot afford to visit Sweden ourselves much less get a factory to take the time to share their assembly processes with us.
Wow !!! A factory where humans are operating machines rather than computers operating them. Humans using tools. Pride of workmanship. Hats off to the Swedish folks for their ingenuity and commitment to Mfrg quality products. C’mon America let’s get goin. We’ve lost our middle class to outsourcing our mfrg industry.
Malin & Johan thanks so much for showing us your beautiful country. We love to hear you two speaking Swedish. What a delight to watch your vids. The baby’s getting big 😊.

I love to see how things are manufactured, there is something so satisfying about seeing something new emerge from raw materials. I also think Mary is a very cool boat and I especially like the observation dome near the companionway. It seems like a very nice feature that I would love to have on my own boat, especially in cold climates.
A plexi-dome might look like a great thing but I'm not so sure anymore. I had one on my boat for years and used it less and less, even in 50-south sailing. After a while its nice to hear and smell the winds, staying in the dome was more of a constant roller coaster with a lot of water to wipe off all the time :)
What a great webinar on propper sailing block tools and why !! Thank you, Johan and Malin
Thanks for the awesome and informative factory tour. As always, you've done a great job with this video. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Glad to be introduced to Rutgerson. Excellent equipment & RAN video!
Marlin: Send my thanks to Ludvig and his boss for such an informative tour of the companies product line and passion for excellance. As an American sailor I had no knowledge of this company and I look forward to buying a few of their products for my own boat. It's so great to see a seasoned sailor working in a field that he understands what racers & cruisers need to perform on the big oceans. I learned a lot about your heritage and professionalism on this video. The world of sailing is in great hands.
So cool! Both the boat and the factory. Thanks for sharing!
Very informative and interesting. Most useful video. Thank you. Fair Winds.
Know I know what I want for Christmas. Roller bearings!
I am in the process of restoring an ALberg 30 to sail to greenland and iceland.. and im working on the rig now.. I think I will give Rutgerson a try with all of my new block needs.
Thanks for this video.. Perfect timing.
Incredible factory,, even more incredible products,,
Really enjoyed the plant tour and manufacturing process of a quality product, this Ludvig appears to be a very good engineer and speaks good English as well, (thank you). Malin's tummy is beginning to get in the way, she looks terrific and l hope she is feeling well. Good luck to you both on your search, as well as your plans for the future.
A lot of interesting and informative technical information; as I’ve said before function follows form- you both are doing a great job researching all the parameters of your next boat. Two thumbs up.!!👍
Thank you very much for the plant tour. And, like others have noted, so nice of you all to do it in English.
Yes, very interesting how the less "glamorous" parts of a boat are manufactured. Thanks!!!
Very interesting. Enjoyed the factory tour. Thank you.
I normally learn from your channel. One of the many reasons to watch. This was a nice episode.
Wonderful guys, I think my first boat must be "SWEDEN" built. That's quality parts. Thanks a lot for the views of the city.
Dragging Johan out of Rutgerson must've been like pulling a toddler out of a toy store!! 😂
Haha.. I;m kinda liking this boat review series as much as the sailing ones!!
Well i know where im getting my equipment now😁 thanks for the walk about Ludwig🤓
Fairwinds from the @captains.chair
Really enjoyed this... I love seeing how stuff is made why its made as it is. great vid.
Thank you, that was very informative I wish there was more videos showing different products we use while sailing. It would be good for manufacturers actually show videos of their testing of there products, example show me a videos of how they test a product like the this and the 2500 count high test destructive test to failure!
Brilliant. Thank you. Especially liked the Rutgerson tour do you have any more footage you could add to another video it was really interesting !
I really enjoyed this video especially the manufacturing part as I am an instructor in the cnc machining industry. Thanks again 👍
This video was a surprise. I had no idea Rutgerson was so high tech, I just knew it was high price. I loved the video, thank you!
Thanks for sharing factory guys expertise. His English is obviously not marvellous yet his expertise in his field is obviously first class. A really interesting video. If only the English were as good at languages to such a technical level...
Mary what a cool boat. The factory tour lots of knowledge,much appreciated .
I love the techy stuff! So much to learn. Thank you! 😃
No surprise you slept like babies on Mary. Its second nature. Thank you for the tour of your country. Even on land safe travel you two.
It seems like you would rather find a boat that was built somewhere in your region of the world rather than just any boat from anywhere and that's pretty cool not only you believe they may be built better but your support of that (your) part of the world is very commendable. I feel that whatever you decide on will be a fine vessel for the family. Good luck.
Great portal into the magnitude of the sailing industry.
Very interesting video! Love watching this kind of content of tours of sailing product manufactures. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Will add to my list of stuff to buy 🤘🏼
wow what a great episode! So informative thanks so much for sharing. cheers.
love your endless curiosity no matter what you do or where you are, best wishes to all 3 of you
Hi and yet another another amazing informative video Ludvig has me sold on all he makes
Very interesting tour, great interview, and the designs are top notch. It's nice to see products NOT designed or made in China.
Really great tech content, thanks!
Hey, I had a Swedish designed Ketch, by Laurin, better known for his L-28 design, which is great for any kind of weather conditions. Mine was also small, a 28' boat, probably the smallest ketch rigged boat I know of. It was FAST and I was able to clock over 9 knots on that thing! absolutely insane! It was one-off, designed to specification, and built in Karlstad. It was flush-decked, so very small below decks, but the nicest sailing boat I ever owned. So, so fast. NOBODY passed me on that boat! Nobody.
Dream setup to have an apartment with a view of your boat!
We wake up with a smile every day. /Linda & Ludvig
Very interesting tour. It's great to finally see your country and all the cool places.
Implementation of experience...nice factory tour!
Great information from a very knowledgeable person.
Awesome and informative video. Loved the little seaside town you were in! Very colorful and picturesque 😊
Always interesting how the most commonplace mechanism has an interesting story behind its creation.
Thanks, very interesting.
It feels like we are shopping for a boat with you. Good luck!
..great info. on quality manufactured sailing products..
Thanks! That was actually very informative. 👍
I saw the thumbnail and I was like... Hey, this boat looks like Joshua! 😄 So psyched when I saw it was indeed its sister! So cool to see this design around 💜
She was built 1976, at the same shipyard in France as the original Joshua. She has been ours since 2002, and we sailed her more than 80 000 miles. Fabulous boat.
Great episode
I enjoy traveling along on your journeys!
I listened to the podcast with, I think ludvik, by Andy from 59-north , but to see the actual factory was very special. Good to see that a lot of hand work still involved in the products. I was also impressed to see that they are shipping product to big production French Manufacturers like Beneteau and Catana ,nice to know they are using quality products unlike some of the lowgrade stuff on some american built boat.
Cheers Warren
wow, great episode
Top video .. thanks so much
MOST interesting video LOVED IT!!!! Thank you
Awesome video and tour.
Great video guys, amazing to get to sleep on a Joshua. Would have loved a tour but understand it is a private boat so not very appropriate I guess. The tour of the factory was really interesting, the different between smooth bearing sheaves and rollers was very helpful, all in all a very informative video. Btw there are some nice Bowman yachts for sale right now, might be good for you. Andy UK
A fabulus family in Marstrand bet they had lots of tips for you having kids onboard 👍
Very informative and interesting guy.
Awesome, thanks for sharing
Wow does this man know gear or what? An hour with him would save years of greif!
Nice you have also the "williwaw " with skipper Willy de Roos northwest passage......very interesting
Fascinating video.Very informative !
Looks like Ludvig was having a nose bleed with all the questions, but he did a great job in answering all the questions that was asked...well done Ludvig
Thank you Ran.
I really like the observation dome on Mary. And that it's protected too. Can be seen at the 5 minute mark.
Such a dome was very useful for Moitessier while steering endelsly down the southern ocean huge waves in freezing temperatures.
That appealed to me as well.
Fantastic video👍🏻
As soon as i saw the title for this video i knew what boat it was :-) Legendary Mary af Rövarhamn.
You just make your own Happy.😀
Thanks again...
Very informative, thank you.
How great would it be to hang out with someone like him and just let him do a data dump. Great video, thanks
You drove past my house in Ytterby just outside of Kungälv... I would’ve invited you in for a “fika” if I’d have known..
Warren s/y Legend
Thank you both for a great video!
Nice!!!
Enjoy your time and best wishes on finding a new home. Your free to do whatever you want when you want up to the time when the little one comes. Then life is so much better.
So we have to expect more Rutgerson equipment on your new boat don´t we? But it´s ok because everybody is struggling to a maximum. I personally would look for a NAJAD, it should be big enough.
Great one m8's, nice to se the westcoast is delivering 😉
You guys were in one of my guilty paradises (Newport Beach/Balboa Island). There are many boats for rent there (that you can/can't sail)...so tempting. AirBnB Boats is a great idea (if it doesn't already exist lol).
I used to live in Marstrand. I was floored when you were on "kajen" on the main island. In the scene where you are complaining about the radar signal, the ferry that goes back and forth in the background is where I worked as a teenager, selling tickets a very long time ago. That particular ferry is long gone but what memories this brought back.
The ferry in the background is "Nisse" and the other one, normally in use today, is "Lasse-Maja" (seen at 1:52). One day in May last year when i visited Marstrand both were out of order so they enlisted the retired small electric ferry "Spårvagnen" ("The tram") once more for commercial duty! Maybe it was on that ferry you were working or maybe on its slightly bigger diesel powered successor.
@@Tomas-Odebrant This was in 1973. In the winter they ran the small one that was totally enclosed. It was all electric (Spårvagnen). In the summer, that one was parked and a larger, open air diesel ran. This was the one I was working on. Hard to believe they kept Spårvagnen in storage and functional for all those years. Who would know how to fix it or where to get parts? We're talking almost 50 years ago.
Also, in one of the pans taken from a high point on Koön (the island accessible by car that makes up the city of Marstrand) I could see the apartment building we lived in during the winters. It was all very transporting.
Another amusing aspect for me anyway is that Malin and Johan both speak excellent English, but when they speak Swedish, their Skånska accents are so different from what you hear in Göteborg and up the west coast. When Johan was telling about going up to Orust to look at boats, I thought he sounded like a Dane!
@@christerman I live just a couple of km east of Marstrand (my parents build a house there in 1963). I use to visit Marstrand at least once a week, take a walk on Koön or Marstrandsön and have lunch at Marstrands Havshotell or Marstrand Pizzeria (both are open the whole year). I also made a factory tour at Rutgerson this spring. Spårvagnen is kept as a veteran boat by "Färjans Vänner i Marstrand". You can rent it for weddings and other events in the summer : www.marstrandsfarjan.se/sv/
@@Tomas-Odebrant My mother's family had a summer house out on Långö, just south of Albrektsunds Kanal. We lived there in the spring, summer, and fall, wintering in Marstrand. I went to högstadiet in Ytterby and later gymnasiet in Kungälv. We took a small eka to Röka where the car ferry terminus from the mainland was before the bridge was built over Instö Ränna. This is where my brother and I caught the school bus into town. Made for a long commute. 25 minutes in the boat, and then 40 more to get to Ytterby. Seems like a dream now. Imagine telling your kid these days to get into a small open boat with a 6HP Johnson outboard that did 8 knots, and take a half hour trip in windy seas (some days) and rain (some days) to get to the bus.
Nowadays, I live in Salt Lake City. My brother works at Volvo and lives in Torslanda as does my mother.
@@christerman Strange to meet you like this on UA-cam. I live in Tjuvkil and remember well all the times we lined up waiting for the car ferry at Rökan when I was younger. I have had many (motor)boats in my life and sailed through Albrektsunds Kanal many times. The kiosk at Rökan is now replaced by a small restaurant. I often take a walk to Rökan and eat there in summer (it is closed during the winter). Thirty years ago I spend a week in Colorado and Utah. Rented a car in Denver and drove to Cheyenne and Salt Lake City and also listened to a concert with The Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Then on south and up to Grand Junction and Aspen and down to Colorado Springs and back to Denver. That was a memorable trip with hot weather south of Salt Lake City and snow at the highest passage on the road back.
Something new??? And Awesome!!! Great vid guys!!! 👍👍👍 Let's find the boat! It's killing us. Lmao!!!
Oh here you are. Missed you.hope you 2 ( or 3?) Are well?
Looking forward to your new boat.
ductile titanium grommets for carbon sails...mental!
I learned a lot. Thanks! 👍👍👍
Strange that just a couple of weeks after I discovered your channel you are in my neighbourhood! I live just a couple of km east and use to visit Marstrand at least once a week, take a walk on Koön or Marstrandsön and have lunch at Marstrands Havshotell or Marstrand Pizzeria (both are open the whole year while most restaurants and shops are open only in summer in Marstrand). I also made a factory tour at Rutgerson this spring.
I have now started to view your videos from the beginning and am now at no. 52.
