A good friend of mine John Lewis from Dorset England built two large boats in his shed, and had a job, excellent wife and kids, sailed them across the pond, quality was unbelievable,I was in awe, I had forgotten people like you still existed! Good Man!
You two are doing a heroic job!! I have a suggestion on your time-lapse video sections. Consider putting a title caption on screen to give viewers a perspective of the time involved; such as “five hours of sanding later” etc…
😀😀👍👍❤❤ Thank you for all the very hard work. Please take your time with the build. 20 years from now a day or two will not make any difference!!! Vera will let you both rest for years while she captains the boat!
Based on my experience in boat building, I highly, highly recommend you prime all the cedar and let it fully dry before you fiberglass to it. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen bulkheads sprung from the glass when they came under stress that would not have happened had the wood been primed with epoxy or resin. It’s not that much more work to prime everything and then you will have absolute peace of mind. Just my two cents.
Agree. the unsaturated cedar will soak epoxy from the first layer of fiberglass living a dry Wood to fiber interface. There is no need to wait for full cure, just roll it on wait for 10 ,15 minutes re-wet dried up areas, and proceed with lamination.
Have to agree with all these comments. Definitely worthwhile to fully prime the timber before the first fibreglass layer. It’s the first & fundamental bonding between the 2 very different materials & will be structurally superior. Much less chance of separation. Only a few hours extra work, you’d be mad not to do it. You will never get a 2nd chance to do it. Also want to acknowledge the incredible craftsmanship & care you are both taking with your beautiful project.
I use to do the canvas work for Peter little a man that has built some very historic wood sail boats. You have brought up many great memories working with him and just seeing someone make a freaking boat from nothing.
Johan, did you grow up around boat builders? I build boats out of metal and your work is so well thought out. You know way too many tricks to avoid issues to be a first time builder. Maybe I'm wrong, and you learned everything you needed from UA-cam? 😅 I'm very impressed on how solid and smoothly this is going for you. Amazing work!
When the weight and thickness of a glass laminate are that big, it is more rentable money/time to replace some glass with carbon fibre. Your core is very strong, which helps.
Hello. i watched this video twice because it got me thinking. For the uni-directional glass, laying it (3) wide and double ply might prove better in the end. i am talking about the center chain plate region of the hull. Hallå. Jag såg den här videon två gånger för att den fick mig att tänka. För det enkelriktade glaset kan det i slutändan bli bättre att lägga det (3) brett och dubbelt lager. Jag pratar om den centrala kedjeplattan på skrovet.
Do you have to remind me that time is so ...precious. Next 2 years will fly just as fast if not faster. Love watching the build and family grow. Hello from Siesta Key Florida
Have you considered using carbon fiber for your chainplates. Instead of relying on bolts to hold the rig, the chainplates are bonded to the fiberglass...all the cools kids are doing that now! Amazing work on the boar, great progress!
I don't think I would have ever çommited so much of my allotted lifespan to such a project ɓut it's always a very personal thing I have the greatest admiration and respect for anyone who chooses to take this most individual decision.
Great progress again this week Johan. Hope that Malin and Vera have recovered from their cold and fever? Just an idea, but it might be good if you might give a quick review of the design of Ran 3. For example, I can't now remember if you are going to have twin rudders. Think it might be helpful for newer subscribers who may not have watched from the beginning. Cheers Malcolm (from Jeanneau Owners)
It's nice to see your videos are becoming more popular and view's increasing....The amount of effort and time making them. I hope you are rewarded...with spondoolies....
I would like to be the archaeologist that finds this boat 20,000 years from now, and proclaims it was built for a Princess Sugar Plum in honor of Lord Oztotl.
Another fascinating episode. So much meticulous work and planning is going into Ran 3, and I am so glad to be following along. I hope your family enjoyed the beach. Well deserved.
It lloks like Vera got better. Hope you do too Malin. Johan more great work on the inside of the hull. Lots and lots of laminating ahead again. Keep at it and hang in there!😎
I felt bad for Johan when Vera came to tell him they’re going for a bike ride. I was thinking, “Don’t miss those moments!” But, then I was happy to see Dad and daughter on the beach at the end. It’s all about balance.
Fantastic Johan, your channel is a true inspiration to us all. The interior looks massive and we are positive the finished product will be a gem to cherish for a lifetime. Thank you!
I noticed you use a ladder to get in and out of the hull. I suggest you take some time to build some stairs, ideally with a platform at the top. It would make getting tools and materials in and out of the hull much easier.
You are right about filling the holes. I used SS brads to hold things in place and they all were conduits for air bubbles. Very frustrating. I finally learned what you are doing- use the temperature changes to your advantage. It’s looking great!!
Hallo Johan, I follow you and the boat build. I am very impressed. I am alsof foĺlowing the Duracell project. Matt from Duracell uses for almost everything vacuüm bags. Why are UA-cam not use vacuüm bags. Theo from Holland.
Love you guys. Jag skulle gärna vilja komma och hjälpa er en två dagar. Jag är båtbyggar och fiberglass tekniker men har inte jobbat med det i över 20 år nu. Men har min kunskap kvar🤗 Jag verkligen gillar ert arbete och älskar er vilja och energi att göra det ni gör. Jag mina bröder och min pabba byggde ihop en segelbåt för många år sedan. Det tog oss 8 år att få den som vi ville🙂 Ett hobby projekt. Jag jobbade med båten hela tiden alla dagar med ändringar och skador men vår båt är av stål och byggd på Brus Roberts ritning 38 foot som vi ändrade lite å och gjorde till var vi ville. Den slutade som 40 foot kostum build segelbåt🙂 Dess värre har båten stått på land på Island sedan jag flyttade därifrån för 22 år sedan😭 Saknar båten mycket och vill ha den hitt men det kostar såklart så jag har en till en liten 21 foot Dufour från 70 en fantastisk segelbåt här i Stockholm ute på Muskö hållet i en liten hamn som heter Holmbru båthamn. Det här er en igen uppfattning om mig🙂 jag är 63 år och älskar båtlivet som ni och därför och rör min uppskattning av är vill jag gärna komma och lägga mitt till för att utveckla er dröm. Mvh. Ingi Sigurdsson gisigurdsson@gmail.com
Does the unidirectional tape has a light amount of chopstand in it for adhesion? That would be my concern that the ud bonds well. Perhaps it will bond between layers if 1708 biaxial? Great progress!
Okay, I just watched this as my first visit to this channel. Do you have plans on how many animals are going to take along when you launch this boat/ship? lol Nice build thus far.
The build is looking really good and very interesting to watch 👍 As Johan mentioned in the video (just highlighting here for any others who might have missed it). Regarding temperature I would be careful of laminating when you have a steep rising temperature curve. This can cause air in the wood to expand out leaving air bubbles in the laminate (I believe sailing UMA may have had this issue a couple of videos ago with some of their laminations). For DIY projects (when having a large temperature curve) I would try and arrange the work, where possible, such that the lamination can be done in the afternoon/evening (falling temps) and prep work in the morning (As Johan is doing) Where a whole day of lamination is needed for the bigger jobs I would try to wet out/seal of the wood the previous afternoon first to reduce any air being pushed out during lamination, this also allows the contraction of any air to suck in the resin deeper into the wood. (I think of this as the poor mans vacuum bag 😄)
A you are doing fantastic work Johan. Can you explain your rational for putting the chain plate fibreglass strengthening ribs in, prior to completing the fibreglass sheathing to the hull interior? The heavy build up of the heavy cloth used for the ribs will be significant and is going to cause extra fairing work to provide a suitable surface for bonding the sheathing.
I am wondering if keel thru-holes should be hardpoint locations that can be bored now, and sealed with chopped random fiber mat over the timber end grain in the bore holes. EG. you can buy formed carbon tubes, the right diameters would make it possible to bond a length of carbon tube, as keel bolt hole bore sleeves. Trim them flush to height later, after interior hull laminations. Just rambling.
can i offer some advice guys.for the laminating to make it easier so you dont have to go in and out of the boat all the time,why not hang a table down from the roof with enough room for everything you need on that day and when youve finish with it for the day or anytime else pull it up with pullies so it sits just under neath the timbers you have holding the top of the boat together.just a thought.
Great video always very interesting listening to Johan discuss his next move and then see the results . So far everything looks perfect it's going to be an amazing cruising boat I bet she'll be fast , steady and comfortable .
I am curious how thick you will lay glass on the outside and inside. I see you will create the chainstay "belt" with extra layers....I am familiar with glass boats being as much as 25mm thick if not thicker. I presume this design may be as reliant on the wood for strength as the glass. It appears you have less than a quarter inch glass on the exterior.......? It is a beautiful hull.
I see you drawing lines from the stanchions to the keel. These lines together have the shape of an arrow pointing upwards. I suppose this will the shape for the reinforcement laminating? But in order to spread the load from the stanchions, I suggest to have that arrow rather pointing towards the keel.
Removing the wheels from a skateboard and installing paint rollers might speed up the lamination process. Laminate while catching some gnarly air time.😂
Johan, if you have room, you might want to setup your pre-lamination work station in the hull. Save you steps in the long run. 😊

@billlawson5571 - why did he build two?
@@wmilliosOne for weekdays and one as a weekend sailer ;)
The nature outside the barn gives this video additional artistic value.
You two are doing a heroic job!! I have a suggestion on your time-lapse video sections. Consider putting a title caption on screen to give viewers a perspective of the time involved; such as “five hours of sanding later” etc…

I also agree... do it.
Sounds right
I absolutely agree with your assessment it will pull the epoxy out of the fiberglass leaving a weak bond.
Have to agree with all these comments. Definitely worthwhile to fully prime the timber before the first fibreglass layer.
It’s the first & fundamental bonding between the 2 very different materials & will be structurally superior. Much less chance of separation.

I really enjoy your outside views of the farm and fields
Köszönjük!
Thank you! 😊👍
Amazing work love seeing the weekly progress on Ran III!!
Master craftsman, end of story 👍👍
Fabulous job. Enjoy the beach!
beautiful shot at 12:45.. my favorite time of day..
So much work.... Very cool to watch.... Thank you...
Keep up the good work...
You can try using a hair dryer to soften the adhesive on the tape. That frequently helps removing tape that's been on a surface for a long time.
The wheat is lookin good.

Очень хорошая работа. Как всегда!! Пишу для потдержки канала. Удачи

Molly, are you editing these still? Amazing work either way. Great video and music.,
Skønne videoer I laver. Flere billeder mens der tales 🙂
You look like a baseball catcher for the Chicago White Sox!!
Install rain catchment system with both filters and Ultraviolet light for drinking and irrigating your land…

Looks like a three dimensional bowling alley.
If it's so hot in the daytime.. for this laminating, why not just work at night?
❤❤
We haven’t seen you using your little sailboat. Do you still have it?
For all through hull holes how will the wood be sealed?
Carbon Fiber chain plates like Project Duracell????
What happened to your little helper? Did you break him??
💯
Surprised you not bagging the interior of the hull for added strength.
Johan's alias is Clark Kent
ang förstärkningar kring mast med dess stag, varför ingen tvärgående trä -skiva (eller "spant" på svenska)?
👍🧿
Johan is the hardest working guy on UA-cam! Its looking good.
He certainly has the ability to make things very uncomplicated.
Having worked on old boats, I can only say what you're doing here is awesome.
Some relaxing down time is certainly due. ❤
Do you have to remind me that time is so ...precious. Next 2 years will fly just as fast if not faster.
Love watching the build and family grow.
Hello from Siesta Key Florida
The shots with Johan standing inside the empty hull give a perspective of just how huge your boat is.
Have you considered using carbon fiber for your chainplates. Instead of relying on bolts to hold the rig, the chainplates are bonded to the fiberglass...all the cools kids are doing that now! Amazing work on the boar, great progress!
I am growing old with RAN Sailing.
They'll get there.
Just don’t grow up 😜🤣🍻
The guy is nuffink if not relentless.
I don't think I would have ever çommited so much of my allotted lifespan to such a project ɓut it's always a very personal thing I have the greatest admiration and respect for anyone who chooses to take this most individual decision.
Great progress again this week Johan. Hope that Malin and Vera have recovered from their cold and fever? Just an idea, but it might be good if you might give a quick review of the design of Ran 3.

She is coming good.
Nice heavy fiber cloth well done as always
What a achievement and just you two ,Noah's ark in the making it's going to be good .

Imponerande allt jobb ni har gjort så här långt.
I noticed you use a ladder to get in and out of the hull. I suggest you take some time to build some stairs, ideally with a platform at the top. It would make getting tools and materials in and out of the hull much easier.
Children inspire parental home-building. The floating home that little Vera inspired is so impressive.
Looking good. The care will pay off.
covering up the screw holes seems a no brainer.
Have thought about laminating in carbon chainplates rather then bolting?
You are right about filling the holes. I used SS brads to hold things in place and they all were conduits for air bubbles. Very frustrating. I finally learned what you are doing- use the temperature changes to your advantage. It’s looking great!!
the editing on this was great! it was fun to hear Johan's voice in the voice over

at 5:53, why does the keelpocket flex while Johan is spreading the filler? It should be very solid with the layers laminated earlier??
Are you going to have an small area inside hull not painted So you will remember how beautiful the Western Red Cedar looks? 😊
Please prime the cedar, as many have suggested... why take a chance?
Otherwise, great work👍😃
Johan, are you going to add a couple of layers of kevlar around the waterline for extra impact damage tolerance? 🙂
can i offer some advice guys.for the laminating to make it easier so you dont have to go in and out of the boat all the time,why not hang a table down from the roof with enough room for everything you need on that day and when youve finish with it for the day or anytime else pull it up with pullies so it sits just under neath the timbers you have holding the top of the boat together.just a thought.
Great video always very interesting listening to Johan discuss his next move and then see the results . So far everything looks perfect it's going to be an amazing cruising boat I bet she'll be fast , steady and comfortable .
Thanks for the efforts!
Johan, what dust helmet/system do you have? The 3M one seems so expensive.
I am curious how thick you will lay glass on the outside and inside. I see you will create the chainstay "belt" with extra layers....I am familiar with glass boats being as much as 25mm thick if not thicker. I presume this design may be as reliant on the wood for strength as the glass. It appears you have less than a quarter inch glass on the exterior.......? It is a beautiful hull.
Would a fan create too much agitation to damage the laminations? Seems like the hull has become an oven.
❤❤ silly question, what is the water temperature?
How about a self propelled riding sander
Will you be sailing Arcturus at all this summer?
The farm looks pretty good to me. Maybe get a day sailboat
Cross-weave fibre glass cloth
I hope this works out for you, Johan...
@13:23 Is that a cracked window? 😥
How do you know how many laminations are required? Is it really "plenty thick and strong"? Are structural calculations done?
Yes, everything is, of course, calculated to ensure both strength and structural integrity. Cheers!
How long is it gonna take you to finish the boat?
I see you drawing lines from the stanchions to the keel. These lines together have the shape of an arrow pointing upwards. I suppose this will the shape for the reinforcement laminating? But in order to spread the load from the stanchions, I suggest to have that arrow rather pointing towards the keel.
It’s not for the stanchions, it’s for the chainplates. Cheers!
Removing the wheels from a skateboard and installing paint rollers might speed up the lamination process.
Laminate while catching some gnarly air time.😂
😂
J, power planer dude!
Where were your knee pads ? Yoooouuuu'll be soooooorry.....🤔🤨😡
I always have knee-pads while working, so also in this episode. 😊
Why didn't you prime the wood first?! 🙈
Because it’s not needed. The cedar doesn’t wick like balsa, and we’re using a saturation table. Cheers!
Great video!
