What this video covers

Johan and Malin continue the construction of their 50-foot sailboat by leveling the hull within their barn workshop. After maneuvering the hull into position, Johan removes the transport wheels and lowers the cradles to the floor.1:49 He uses a laser and internal frame markings to establish a precise horizontal reference plane for the waterline, adjusting the bow height by approximately 10 millimeters to achieve an accurate level.3:01 This alignment serves as the primary reference point for all future interior construction and deck installation.4:37 Following the leveling, the project shifts to organizing the barn workspace, including the construction of storage shelving for tools and materials to clear floor space for a dedicated workshop.5:59 The pair then travels to Stockholm to visit the Vasa Museum, where they examine the 1628 warship Vasa, noting its history of instability due to insufficient ballast and open gun ports.10:39
