How much have we spent? Building a 50 Ft Sailboat - Ep. 339 RAN Sailing

I wonder why you need a strongback when you have a perfectly strong concrete floor.

I've got a son who's just turned 14.. when he graduates high school at 18 my plan is to surprise him with giving him one of my Harleys and I'm getting ready to start building a custom Harley for myself and upon graduation his other surprise and a dream of mine is to have our bikes shipped to Sweden and spend the summer riding throughout the country including Finland and perhaps Norway.. you have a wonderful motorcycle especially custom built Harley chopper culture over there that i have to see with my own eyes instead of just online

Did you consider a twin rudder and steering wheels design?

Very nice projekt , you can also see the Garcia 60 " to take some idea ..........good job.....

This is going to be one beautiful ship. I love the overall design. I really like the the plumb bow design. Reminds me of old Victorian steamboats. Thank you for documenting all this its going to be an amazing build

This is a great video. I sometimes like to just get to the point, but I found myself enjoying the longer, more conversational style of this video. Very interesting.

Wow, that seems unbelievably cheap. Way to go

A great project and I hope I can follow it until the launching. For me it is like dream a dream as I am of advanced age. Nonetheless, technology has advanced and so I am interested in the transfer of the shape of the frames from design to the actual formed plywood frames. Could you elaborate? Thanks and good fortune.

First time watcher, the build looks good. How can you afford building a boat like that and buying a farm and taking skiing vacation? What am I doing wrong?

Great video guys🤗💞

I love this kind of boat build . Real craftmanship. 😎

I understand that sailboats can run into submerged objects ( containers from container ships for example). Could a sonar device be mounted below the water line to detect submersed floating debris that could damage the boat ?

Remarkable. Over the years I have followed your adventure and after a 10 month hiatus and break from sailing videos I gravitated back to your site. What an ambitious project and commitment. I wish you every success in your project and look forward to following this piece of maritime creativity unfold. I am certain you will have an impact on many boat companies design ideas.This makes you two leaders in the field and justly so . . . lycka till
🤟

Definitely a good choice with the front windows!

Great video. Best wishes.

big support from spain really like the project !

I would make the short wall in the head longer so that the door is facing the hallway and not into the galley. It is a small thing but you will be staring into the head all the time you are in the galley. Just a thought

Great Video !

Going skiing for the day, on Monday, in the local mountains above Las Vegas. Late March, and there is still lots of snow and more coming. Never been this much :)

That's fantastic! A great trip away to ski and be with family. Vera is doing such a great job at it. Cool skiing with Mum. So funny seeing Vera out like a light. Wow, ready to start the actual build is such an amazing achievement. Thanks for sharing the cost and redesigns. I am so excited for the both of you. The boat looks beautiful and has that connotation of an older elegant design. Love the vlog. :)

Oh to be young enough to sleep in a sled being pulled around like that!

Great to see the progress with the barn and the mold/frame. Will be a lot of fun to follow along as you get even further. Thanks for uploading your ship building adventure :).

Good grief... Vera power sleeping like that was such a reminder of the deep power sleep ability of a child.

She has only just begun. 🎶White lace and promises. 🎵Only just begun. 🎶epoxy, fiberglass, and "layups" 🎵She has only just begun 🎶Sharing Horizons that are New to Us.🎵Watching the signs along the way. 🎶 Only just begun. 🎵Talkin it over just the two of us.

I haven't seen a "Poma-Lift" or a "T-bar" at a ski area in 50 + years.

I love Scandinavia sleeper trains!

amazing that you guys are building up a boat, was there another video on the cost of a naval architect? I heard they are extremely expensive but I always wanted to investigate getting the input of of someone like that.

I like the new shape of the deck house.

I love your build, I love your channel.
You guys rock!
So nice to see Vera at such an ease on her skis!!!
Thank you for sharing.

God Bless.

Vera was out totally bumping over the bumps never moved, minted. I do not know if you a going have dust collection for your machines but it will keep work space clean. Hope that helps.

Västjämtland (where Duved is) is my former home area. Now living in Kalmar is closer to you😉 I did hope for that change of windscreen angle. Much more suitable and adds more space for solar panels.

Cheers guys.. 😊

Such good parents, you don’t feel like adopting a 50 year old Aussie at all? 😂

Yes I like raked forward windows, got them on mine.

Vera sleeping on the sled says it all. 😂 What a fun trip.

I've never built a boat but in my construction career I've built houses for over 25 years... roughly 60 homes so far. I don't find saving money on the expensive items as the large savings it is saving money on the items that is numerous in your projects that makes the difference. $100 off an appliance is nice and shows up quickly but buying fasteners by the pound instead of by the box will save more than double that per fastener type. Not as fancy or flashy on a report but money is money.

I bet in norway those materials would cost you 50 000

Really your Labor and hours you spend on the boat should be calculated in the cost at the currently hour rate for a boatbuilder ?? The skiing looks fantastic for any level of skier and the lifts / pommers are more orderly than those in Canada and the US and the snow looks the best and the grooming excellent .

$3000 doesn't seem expensive to me! I live in NZ where timber is very expensive !!!

Thank you so much for showing us also some family actions, that skiing stuff brought so much memories back from my childhood when I did the same with my parents. Nice you can enjoy this days with Vera and her grandfather and grandmother as well.

For an ocean going boat I think the rudder and prop should be protected by a substantial skeg with the prop in an aperture in the skeg. Any small loss of maneuverability will be more than justified by greater safety.

Just a note on screws, those with non-destructive head types (not slot or Philips, but, say Torx or similar box-type head), although a little more expensive, for any large construction project, well worth the extra in terms of saving for not destroying the head during insertion (so you can later take apart better) and just for accuracy of insertion too.

What a great episode, and glad you all got some skiing time in.

Thanks!

If you keep the light blue, Mærsk could sponsor you with millions 😂

In my eyes you are way "under budget" - it's hard to believe that you managed to get to this point spending only so little...

First of all we love your videos, it’s not only educational but so interesting to watch. Now as my job as a Fire Fighter here in the UK I hope you have fire fighting equipment and plans in place incase of a fire as I’d hate to see all you hard work go up in flames. Heaven forbid anything like that happens but always best to be prepared.
