We travel on the dutch inland waterways with our 82ft sea ship. Our steel trawler is build for the open water. So it will be very interesting going through the narrow dutch canels and passing locks and bridges on our way to Sneek.
Flying Coney is an 82ft long historic steel ship. And we bring her back to live as the beautiful sailing ship she once was. When we are done with the refit we want to sail the ocean together with you and teach traditional sailing skills.

What is the lifespan of one of those power stations? Also do you charge the vessel batteries with solar power? Just Wondering ! Safety is no Accident !

Daniel, your the proud owner of such a Historic schooner. We are so Happy for you both, making such a lovely couple adds to our enthusiasm. Having been employed in our US Merchant Marine service, I had the opportunity while working on a Heavy Lift ship, to visit Holland. VanOman industries charter this strong Texan and we carried used equipment all over the world. Enjoy your new berth and wishing you an Barbara great success, she's one of a kind.

I like the fact that you plan your very moves, coming up with a game plan. Some people fly by the seat of their pants with absolutely no planning. A good Captain, that does make. You guys with the help of a good crew will succeed. I have no doubt that your dream will come true. Go with God ! Always watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸🦅

really like Daniel's model for teaching crew line management when departing the wharf. it could have been done verbally but seeing the model, then doing it, should allow the crew to retain that skill for the future

@FlyingConey 2 месяца назад

Moving Flying Coney does mean maneuvering with the help of lines. Until we have a rig that's the most interesting things when it comes to sailing the boat. But it's fun to think about solution and also to think about what can be done better next time.

The freighter you passed 'on the wrong side' had the blue sign. That means it follows the 'wrong bank'. Mainly used on rivers during currents.

@barendgarvelink 2 месяца назад

Yep, signals intent to pass starboard-on-starboard.

@FlyingConey 2 месяца назад

The barge was okay. But someone contacted me on the radio exactly when we were under the bridge. We do have right of way in front of most other pleasure craft since we're above 20 meters. Not many skippers of the smaller boats know that. We do have to contact locks and bridges before we pass for the same reason. But that's a rule that the lock keepers don't like.

@andrelam9898 2 месяца назад

For those not from the Netherlands, Den Helder is the northern most point in the province of North Holland and is home to the a major Naval base. You showed a few brief video clips of the Navy museum. We didn't have time for that one last time, but we did visit the National Lifeboat Museum. If you get back to Den Helder, I can highly recommend that museum as well.

@Arnaud58 2 месяца назад

@12:52 That starboard-to-starboard passing is indicated by the blue panel on the side of the wheelhouse.👴😉 The reason why the lock/bridge keeper was annoyed was because he wanted to open the bridge at the last minute to cause as little disruption to road traffic as possible.👴🤷‍♂

When a barge comes towards you with the blue plate standing up, it means you must past each other starboard starboard. They are doing the same on the rivers

@FlyingConey 2 месяца назад

Yes thank you! I wasn't sure if the barge also has to pass the bridge under the opening part and I haven't fully seen the other vessel behind the bridge. It was a busy situation that went without any problem. I was contacted on the radio the moment I was under the bridge and I haven't understand a single word. I guess it was the barge captain informing me that we will pass each other on the starboard side.

@dennisnunn2244 2 месяца назад

enjoyed the episode look forward to more. just a suggestion but a raised floor and maybe seating in the wheel house will improve the forward view. (did this on the dutch frigates just before sea trails) You have plenty of height inside.

@FlyingConey 2 месяца назад

At a later point the whole wheelhouse will change. We're not even sure if we keep the current position or if we will move it slightly aft. A sailing ship does need an outside steering position. So the wheelhouse will be mostly for navigation or for bad weather on longer passages. We will also move it down as far as possible to be able to have the boom of the sail above lower.

@FlyingConey 2 месяца назад

I really don't get it why professionals like the lock keeper are always in a hurry and cause unnecessary stress. We're still in the learning phase and it's difficult enough without somebody shouting at you to hurry up. But we managed the situations well and each time we move the boat it's getting better.

@j.d.1438 2 месяца назад

The lock keeper is not only responsible for the boat traffic but also for the road traffic. If the road is important for access to the area behind it might give problems to emergency organizations, like ambulance or fire fighters,. Besides that :a nice video 👍😀

@fonhollohan2908 22 дня назад

Well from watching your channel from the beginning Daniel I thought at first you both were in over your heads but I'm happy to say that I was sorely wrong. I'm enjoying watching you navigate so proudly through the Netherland locks. BTW I was just wondering are you gong to restore the boats interior of a more antique look or are yous going with a more modern look? I personally think restoring her with an antique interior would make her look more elegant and suited to her erra than having a modern looking interior.

@wimmol 2 месяца назад

For future reference, in the Netherlands they want a minimum interference with road traffic. So they want you very close to the bridge before they open it. Contact by VHF is not with every bridge and there is the possibility not every lock or bridge keeper speaks English. Your native German may help sometimes.

@barendgarvelink 2 месяца назад

Yes, this is exactly it 👍

@FlyingConey 2 месяца назад

We had some really strange experiences with those lock keepers. Sometimes they seemed bothered because we contacted them on VHF even though we had to. One specifically told us that he will open the bridge in time but we needed to wait 10 meter in front of the bridge for about 5 minutes. I understand that they do their best to keep the traffic going. It's simply not easy if you do something like what we do for the first time.

Thank you very much for your comment. The plan is to go to Germany in the late summer or early autumn. Currently we're looking for Emden or Ditzum so it's not too far from the Netherlands. But we're not staying in Sneek for long unfortunately this space in that shipyard is the only one deep enough and they don't want to have the wooden boat there nor Flying Coney.

@@FlyingConey It'll certainly be interesting to see how you guys go about replacing the frames. Especially since their bottoms are encased in concrete in the bilge.

@FlyingConey 2 месяца назад

We're looking forward to this project. Most experts think that the frames are in good shape underneath the concrete so it should be straight forward. Removing the concrete deep enough to get down to healthy steel, make patterns out of plywood, cut the frames out of new steel with a plasma cutter and have them welded in by a professional welder.

@@wimmol that's a very good rule of thumb, it's generally safest and it works well with artikel 1.04 ("goed zeemanschap"). I tell novice sailors the exact same thing! Easier for everyone.
