Hi guys, owner of norwegian wooden Colin Archer here, interesting angle of your view on wooden boats... but you have to admit that wooden boats are the most beautiful of all materials and whoever buys a wooden boat takes maintenance as part of a lifestyle, which he knows for sure that there is no more beautiful sight than to bring wood has a new look after a new layer of varnish. If the maintenance is planned well, YES it is constant, but it is not work, it is relaxation and the joy of working with wood as a material. I see many people around me who have become slaves even on plastic boats, where I would say it is the least work, but in reality every material has problems and all boats need constant maintenance and they are made of any material... We are currently in Nederland too and I must say I am looking forward to getting back to sea because the fresh water is killing our boat. You have a subscription, interesting channel. Well done :) Alex

If you think you made the right choice in boats,then you picked the right boat. Keep up the good work.

I really enjoyed this. Excellent video!

Dear Barbara and Daniel: exceptional tour of Lubeck, our son lives there so we are quite familiar with this harbor. Your knowledge of sailing history was impeccable and we deeply enjoyed every moment.

Dear Barbara and Daniël, Thanks for sharing the lesson of historical sailing boats. We know Lübeck quite well because we’ve been there 4 times by being with the Baltic Sea. To go there with Flying Coney means you have to sail around Denmark of course. Friends of us did this when they bought a yacht in Travemünde to bring the boat to the Netherlands and had quite a storm so hopefully you will have a more calm weather at the time you’ll go there. Hope you both have a nice time back home in Austria. We llook forward to your next vlog and send you love from the Netherlands

I’m happy to hear that you didn’t regret not buying the wooden boat you mentioned. On the other hand, a handshake, particularly in the old Hanse cities like Lübeck, and even more so among merchants and shipowners, is a binding contract that would also hold in court. Old customs die slowly in the north of Germany.

Well done!

This was a very interesting insight into sailing ships . Thank you.

First time finding your channel and this was very enjoyable.

Very informative video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I might also guess as ships got bigger they added masts and gaff or square rigs to give them more speed for long voyages, and some purpose built boats got fewer sails to maintain speed and help running with a smaller crew.

Very interesting, I really appreciate the explanation

Hello. I'm still here and still enjoying the re-build. Thank you for enduring the discomfort of a cold day, but then you ARE a sailor and it goes with the territory. I forget, do you still have a wood burning stove? AAh, That warmth cannot be duplicated. Guten Nacht!

Nice video - thanks!

This is a great episode. Thanks for the tour and the history.

Among all of us followers, there will always be those who find fault with things. However, they are few and far between, so it's best to focus on the positive comments and skip the negative ones, you can't win them all! Thanks for another rewarding video!

I love the wooden boat and i have owned a few in my lifetime .The first wooden boat i was ever on was an 80 foot tug boat . i was a Teenager then I worked for a man that built floating docks for marinas .We would build then and then launch them and tie them together like a giant raft and use the tug to tow them from the lake front thru a lock to the open water on these trips i would then be a deck hand and also watch over our tow .the reason for all this was i knew how to work on the tugs engine ,a 8oo horse diesel cat , the electrical systems as well , eventually the pilots first mate went back to piloting another boat the skipper owned and i became the first mate on this one .those were Glorious days in my life .

very informative

Thank you for a very nice historical overview 👍👍

Excellent explanation of the types is sail and the history of sailing vessels. Thanks!!!

A different kind of video. Very instructive. I like it too. I am in Nieuwpoort today, who knows maybe Flying Coney will visit Nieuwpoort one day. There are hundreds of sailing boats here. And still a few fishing vessels. FC could very well fit in the middle of both bassins.

You obviously were meant to own Flying Coney. I think you’re doing a great job. I can’t wait to see what you do with her!❤ to you both.

i have learned a lot

A lovely episode that illuminates your vision. I can see this becoming the next Tallyho channel. All power to your elbow.

Daniël, Barbara, You've just brought me some lovely memories back to mind of working and living in Lübeck in the 1980s, although I worked in many places throughout Germany Lübeck has special memories. I think this is probably the first time I've commented but I have followed and enjoyed your journey from the start. Long may it last and thank you dearly.

Nice visit to Luebeck harbor thank you!

interesting video 2x👍

nice video. I liked the pictures of the old boats

Great episode and very informative with the various classic ships berthed. Cheers, Jim

Thank you for sharing all these beautiful boats with us. I learned a lot about the different kind of boats.

I really wish that you would put more content up about Flying Coney. If I remember correctly, last week you just did a review of what you have done already, this weeks video wasn’t even about Flying Coney. Your regular videos of Flying Coney are usually short and you do more taking about what you did than showing the actual work, that’s what we want to see. I don’t want this comment to come across as negative, I really just want to see more content and longer videos about your working on Flying Coney. You guys could have a very interesting channel if you would just put up more content in your videos. Again, please don’t take my comments as an attack or me being nasty or rude, I am just interested in what you guys are doing. Have a wonderful weekend and God bless you both. ❤

Great video 👍💯🎥 one thing I can tell you for sure, you will look back at your life with absolutely zero regret. ⛵️🌎

Thank you for a very informative video. I got many answers to questions I didn't know I had!!! You're doing a top job, both with Flying Coney and with your videos. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪.

Very fascinating information. I am not a sailor. I had no idea about the difference between these boats. Thanks.

Danke!! For this very interesting and informative vlog in Lubeck harbour. As also a great lover of classic ships..including wooden ones..it was a sight to behold. Saw another wooden movie famous brig for sale in England recently.❤ As a boat and windjammer geek little kid I dreamt of owning such a ship one day. But finally..totally unexpectedly..had already given up hope..bought an old looking but 'only' 38ft steel (for the same reasons you mentioned) 2 mast sailing vessel that I even live on now..and plan to convert her to a little brig in the future.🎉😅 Nice vlog, do it more often when you like..in between all the work on your own beauty!!!😊🎉

Very enjoyable & educational, thank you both. I live aboard an English narrowboat and, like any boater, every day's a school day.

Very well explained... Thank you.

Thanks for posting! I learned a lot...

Totally agree with the beautiful vs easy handling dilemma. - a schooner is a stately piece of history. Especially a gaff schooner and even more with a square topsail. If you could rig Flying C*ney like your channel logo, she will be awesome. The perfect choice if you plan to seduce clients. - however, we chose our family offshore yacht to be a steel ketch with cutter rigged foremast. Definitely the easiest to handle for ocean crossing with 2 toddlers!

Really enjoyed this! Looking forward to the next video!

Bedankt

Hey im really enjoying your videos, Im actually one of the skippers of Aglaia and we are going again to the Tall ship races this year if you are interested hit me up btw she is 15m not 10m long😉

Keep up the hard and good work. Ps.. thanks for going to a normal mustache. Soooo much better.

Another great video, guys. I totally get your rationale for buying a steel ship and cant wait to watch that old trawler morph into a tall ship. My calculus on the subject was a bit different. Firstly I wanted a boat that was 30-40ft that i could get for little or no upfront cost but wasnt so far gone that it wouldn't be worth saving. That pretty much ruled out a steel boat. So i was down to fiberglass or wood. Ive been woodworking my entire life and have absolutely no experience with fiberglass. Not that i couldn't learn fiberglass, i just have no real desire to, and im just a bit of an unreconstructed traditionalist, so I ended up with an uber traditional 30ft wooden ketch in need of a full restoration. Should be fun.

Very nice video enjoyed the sail boat information. Keep up the great work. :o)

Thank you

I inspect wood framed decks for a living. we call those shrooms "fruiting bodies".

i need to visit Lübeck.

Какие же вы молодцы! Большое спасибо за ваши видео. Жаль старые корабли с грибами. Возможно кто нибудь займется ими и будет еще один канал про реставрацию.

There was an old sail boat for sale in USA cheap , if does not sale it’s going for scrap , I forget the length but was over 100 years old

Great explanation why a metal over a wooden boat, I agree 100%, my father in law had a wooden boat and the up keep was a nightmare, in fact we never stopped repairing it, Samsara looks like it could be a beautiful ship but a lot of work to keep it there, you are going to have a stunning ship of your own and I really like following your adventures.

A think Yawl is best option for long range sail boat. Size 33 - 55ft.

😃

Great video thanks.

Lübeck is wonderful ❤

Servus, ihr schönsprechenden Renovierer... wieviele Personal wird FC im Endausbau zum Segeln brauchen? lgf

In my experience with a used Wooden Boat what you CAN see is only the "tip of the iceberg"...it's generally MUCH worse than what you can merely see...

I’ve been meaning to share, In my opinion, I think you do too much of “why we are doing what we are doing”. No need to explain. However, it is your channel and obviously you should do as you wish.

Wood is good but steel is real , ketch rigged please🏆

Wow,that boat would of been 99% less work than you have on your hands now. you would of been sailing the world now, not giving a another 5 years of hard labour. I think you made a huge mistake.

A steel hulled sailing vessel can be far more seaworthy. The wiki page included is one of the fastest and best ship ever built. Certainly one of the most beautiful. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preussen_(ship)
