On the journey to Urk we got some wind and waves.
Luckily we know that our 82ft steel ship is really seaworthy. Flying Coney fished the North Sea, one of the most dangerous fishing grounds in the world. And when she was a sailing ship she had a huge sailing rig.
So why are we concerned about some waves when crossing a big lake?
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.

Sailing around the harbor looking for a mooring space, looks a lot like driving around the mall looking for a parking space close in, you always end up out in the boonies. History is always interesting

@FlyingConey 6 дней назад

Quite similar yes! Luckily there was still a place available otherwise we would've needed to go alongside to one of those charter vessels and usually they leave very early in the morning.

Barbara: what an exceptional episode! Flying Coney has untapped History we all would love to hear about. Possibly Daniel and you could give the viewer's some of Flying Coney's marvelous HISTORY. Thank you so much for sharing and good luck on your haul and huge refit project.

@FlyingConey 5 дней назад

I think one of the most rewarding things when you own a ship is that you yourself become part of the history. We hope we can sail her for many many years but we also hope that we won't be the last owners and that Flying Coney will be around for many more decades. It's great to be part of something bigger than yourself.

Flying Coney needs a crew of young people that want to get experience on how to run and maintain such a ship!

@FlyingConey 6 дней назад

Flying Coney already took part in 5 tall ship races sailing with lots of young people aboard. Barbara and I always enjoyed teaching kids how to sail and this aspect is a big reason why we want to have a traditional rigged sailing ship. Of course we do want to bring her back to the tall ship races as well!

@IrisSchepelmann 6 дней назад

Hi, Before you add masts and sails you should do a Stability or Inclination test and have it analysed by a naval architect. A heavy concrete internally ballasted round bilge boat won't carry much sail to windward compared to an externally lead ballasted hull.You need a high Metacentric height (GM) to go to windward.

@FlyingConey 5 дней назад

Flying Coney is a traditionally rigged tall ship and she will sail similar to other ships of this category. Slightly faster because of the longer waterline. It's possible to make way to windward but not much. But that's pretty much what you expect from a ship with square sails. One we've finished the hull we will make a stability test and for the rig we will work together with an experienced company. We have room for about 12 tons of external steel ballast. Back in the days she carried more than 300 square meters of canvas and with the improvements we make we might be able to carry even more.

@marcellebaudry5786 6 дней назад

bravo

@robdekker2 6 дней назад

Please guys. Do a very thorough thickness inspection on the hull where she has been fitted with concrete. At 12:01 you can see that the concrete is loose and there is some rust behind it. if you guys spring a leak when out on sea you won’t be able to plug it easy because off all the concrete. When she was built it was normal practice to place concrete but now a days we try to stay well away from that. You can replace the concrete by normal ballast if you need to.

@FlyingConey 5 дней назад

The concrete is firmly attached to the hull and we have an average steel thickness of more than 6mm. Most of the time it's close to 8mm. When we repair the frames we will partly remove the concrete but the thickness measurements are showing us that the steel underneath is in good condition. Replacing the entire concrete wouldn't make sense. The boat was built with this ballast and it's an historic ship and we're restoring and not building new.

@user-ex8lo7jd8v 5 дней назад

Its good to see you realize its a real pig to dock ( and potentially dangerous as a very heavy boat), get a bow thruster or youll always have to put up with crew and look bad docking Bet you it rolls bad without stabalizers

@leonardsammut4314 5 дней назад

@TomCrasemann 6 дней назад

what is the timeline for this project ? just to get this ship to a point where you could even add a sailing rig to it must be totally cost prohibitive. Not to be totally negative , but how can anyone finance this project ,especially with 36 k subscribers . this channel needs more substance than these filler episodes

@j.hoppli4657 6 дней назад

So she was built as a KFK, Kriegsfischkutter. I really love this ships!😊😊😊❤

@FlyingConey 6 дней назад

Yes! Since she was the first one that was converted into a steel ship her bow was altered a little bit and that made us think she was probably built as a logger. But her KFK hull with the altered sharper bow makes her almost ideal for a sailing ship conversion. She will be even a little bit faster than the other sailing KFKs.

@RobertLake-mf2qt 6 дней назад

Please keep your boat as BOATH a sailing and trawling vessel. This will give you the most pleasure in your future journeys. I have always thought that a sailing ship should have a figure head on the bow. I do not know what you should have for it, but a nice one would make the ship most unique. Perhaps a surging dolphin would be nice? Anyway, you both are doing a most wonderful job with all that you do. Your future has a red sky at night. All the best to you.

@FlyingConey 6 дней назад

We do want to keep the wheelhouse and our reliable engine. But we won't trawl big nets anymore. Her fishing times are long gone. A figure head might be an interesting thing to have. Of course it needs to be a flying bunny (coney) 😉🐇

How do you convert a wood hull to steel ?

@FlyingConey 6 дней назад

She always had steel frames. So converting is fairly easy, you take off the wooden planks an rivet steel plates to the steel frames.

@lardo666 5 дней назад

@@FlyingConey You will also need a decent set of sheet metal rolls to curve the steel plates to fit at each location (It's possible this was done at red heat - but mild steel rolls nicely) Rolls that can handle several mm steel thickness at a metre or two wide are pretty large and heavy machines. @FlyingConey - what's the hull plate thickness?

@austin12ascot 6 дней назад

Will you add another mast and more sails?

@FlyingConey 6 дней назад

We need to add a complete new rig. The current mast is only for stabilizing the boat and prohibit rolling. We want to add two steel masts, square sails on the forward one with at least 4 yards, staysails in between the masts and a huge gaff sail on the aft mast. She will be a schooner brig (modern brigantine) again.

Will a keel need to be added?

@pmnfernando 6 дней назад

no, but depending on the span and layout of the interior refit, some interior ballast may or may not be needed to make the final product as balanced as possible, enhancing the sailing capability

@FlyingConey 6 дней назад

Flying Coney is built as a long keeled S spant boat with internal blast only. We probably don't need additional ballast since we are slightly on the heavy side. If we find after designing the rig and after making a rolling test that there isn't enough ballast it's possible to bolt on large heavy steel bars to the keel this would roughly add 10 tons of additional ballast.

@peterredman235 5 дней назад

Yes your ship has a history of sailing, but is the hull now in a sound enough condition to return her to sailing.?

@FlyingConey 5 дней назад

Hi Peter, yes the hull is in excellent condition and it makes a sound foundation for a sailing ship conversion. We still need to repair about 20 frames mostly in the former cargo hold and we do want to lay a new deck.

in English, the G in brigantine is pronounced wie "gross" oder "gut."

@FlyingConey 6 дней назад

Thanks for clearing this up. Brigantine is slightly incorrect anyway because a true Brigantine has square topsails on both masts. We want to rig her as a Schooner Brig with square sails only on the forward mast.

@paulheitkemper1559 6 дней назад

@@FlyingConey alles gut. Your English is (as I'm sure you're aware) otherwise perfectly good. Certainly better than my deutsch, which at this point has been reduced to the level of a very small child. 😆 In America the terminology is even more different (not surprising). We would call that a topsail schooner. I'm fine with either term, and I would want you to use the European term, even when talking to Americans.

@FlyingConey 5 дней назад

@@paulheitkemper1559 Our drawing of the finished ship shows indeed a tops'l schooner rig. The most obvious difference is that a Tops'l Schooner flies a gaff sail in between the masts and a Schooner Brig flies staysails. The later also has usually 4 or 5 yards while the Tops'l Schooner has 2 or 3. There are more differentiations but some of them are outdated. Practically speaking the main propulsion of a Schooner Brig are the square sails on the forward masts while the Tops'l Schooner is basically a Schooner with additional square topsails. Think of it as an ancient spinnaker. If you have both rig types next to each other the difference is quite obvious especially when it comes to the huge amount of running rigging that is needed for a Schooner Brig. The aft mast of a true Brigantine looks similar to the forward mast of a Tops'l Schooner. It took me some time to get all of this straight.

this is really bothering me: how exactly does Barbara see me again, every time? And why is she so happy to see me? Sometimes, I've been having a bad day, and she says this: I don't really understand why someone would be happy to see me when I'm feeling terrible. I've started taping over my camera and turning off my phone, and only watching on a Mac mini than has no camera: Still, she sees me every time. This is clearly an invasion Into my privacy: are any other viewers also getting this message, or is it only me? If you are getting this, or a similar message, I think you should tell us in the comments below. Really not sure which would be worse, everyone, or just me. And Daniel never says it: so is he just keeping quiet, or is Barbara holding out on him? Or what is going on, actually?
