What this video covers

Johan and Malin plan to transport their custom-built 16,500-kilogram sailboat from their farm to the harbor in Skillinge by hauling it across fields after the harvest, likely between August and October.0:56 They intend to use a flatbed truck or tractor to move the hull, then mount the keel and install the mast at the boatyard before launching.1:47 The couple estimates a potential splash date in the fall of 2027 or 2028.3:48 Construction details include using PET foam sandwich panels for bulkheads and interior components to save approximately 1,000 kilograms compared to plywood.13:30 They plan to build the deckhouse separately on the ground before lifting it into place.20:01 While they considered a diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system, they may opt for a standard diesel engine with an electric pod for maneuvering.19:09 The project is currently insured for approximately $110,000 to $120,000 against fire, which remains their primary concern.23:35 They rely on naval architect Ulf for design integrity and maintain a self-reliant approach to problem-solving.30:52
