Episode 397 of RAN Sailing documents a monumental milestone in their boat-building journey – rolling, turning, and re-rolling their 50ft sailboat within the confines of their barn. This intricate operation required careful planning and preparation, culminating in a successful maneuver that brings satisfaction to the team.
The task of rolling, turning, and re-rolling the boat inside the barn represents a significant achievement for RAN Sailing. It required meticulous organization and strategic execution to ensure the safety of both the vessel and its structure throughout the process. The team’s detailed planning allowed them to manage the heavy lifting with relative ease.
A critical aspect of this operation was ensuring that the hull was level and horizontal once re-rolled. This involved making precise adjustments to the boat’s position to accurately align it with a horizontal waterline both in lengthwise and side-to-side directions. The use of laser technology alongside temporary frames inside the barn facilitated accurate leveling, which is essential for future building processes.
The aftermath of such a massive operation necessitates careful consideration for future organization. The barn now needs to accommodate a space dedicated to a workshop and a warehouse, requiring thoughtful planning for efficient storage and easy access to tools and materials. RAN Sailing plans to install numerous shelves throughout the barn to categorize items more effectively, thereby reducing time spent searching for necessary items.
The team’s journey beyond their boat build is highlighted by a celebratory trip to Stockholm. This episode features their exploration of the iconic Vasa Museum, home to the virtually intact 17th-century warship Vasa, which capsized and sank on its maiden voyage in 1628. The intricate details shared about this historical ship provide insight into 17th-century naval architecture and building techniques.
In addition to the Vasa Museum, RAN Sailing’s trip included a visit to Skansen – Sweden’s open-air museum and zoo. This educational adventure took them through different historical parts of Sweden, showcasing how life in the country evolved prior to industrialization. The original buildings relocated to Skansen give viewers an insight into early Swedish living conditions, enhanced by the beautiful gardens and animals on site.
With the sailboat’s hull now leveled and plans for a more organized workspace in place, RAN Sailing can confidently proceed with the next stages of their boat build. Each step in this project not only advances the construction of their vessel but also offers opportunities to document interesting experiences that contribute to their community’s knowledge of boating and sailing adventures.
As they move forward, RAN Sailing continues to share insights into marine culture, historical connections, and life on a boat build project. By documenting their experiences, they enrich the understanding and appreciation of those who follow their journey.
