Woodworking! We restore the 73 year old teak wheelhouse on our steel ship. We rebuild our nav light basis, build a beautiful chart table and continue restoring the teak window frames. Join us for our first big woodworking project aboard Flying Coney
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 and teach traditional sailing skills to young people.

We know that there are replacement LED lights for our navigation lights but they are not certified and it's not legal to use them. Yes the navigation light bases need to be painted matt black on the insides. Thanks to all the viewers who pointed that out! Painting the navigation light bases was quite a job because they needed to be turned around during the process. So waiting long enough for the paint to be dry was hard and we rushed the process. We will buy a can of paint and fix this issue as soon as possible.

Hello, quite an overall extensive project, my respect. Regarding use of wood filler, epoxy putty and similar, it helps to put the mixed stuff into a Zip lock plastic bag, cut of a corner and use it like a pastry bag. Very quick and not messy. Very good for making any kinds of fillets as well

It is so true that some "little" jobs completely transform the ship's appearance and re-energizes the owners! Those Heluer lights are classics, and difficult to find! You can likely find a LED bulb that can be retrofitted in them.

Dear Barbara and Daniël, You’re doing so well with the restoration of Flying Coney that even temporary solutions are made properly and weather protected, your recovered side lights are looking awesome. Willeke and I are wondering if the lightbulbs simply can’t be changed in LED bulbs what’s possible for many lamps nowadays. The guy who’s helping you with wooden solutions is a friendly person with a lot of knowledge how to deal with wood. We look forward to your next vlog and send you love

@FlyingConey Год назад

Thank you! Yes the light bulbs can very easily replaced with LED lamps. But as far as I know there are no certified LED bulbs to do so. Since we are above 20 meters we need certified lamps for vessels up to 50 meters in size. My dream lamps are the K2W Base Bronze. They are certified but come with a price tag of 650€ each. Harald really is a lovely chap!

@nhm2896 Год назад

The problem with LED bulbs is that they are made up as a matrix of small LED's which are not fixed in the same center with each other. This makes it very difficult to ensure that you get the correct angles of light. A traditional certified lightbulb is made with a single filament in the center of the bulb. The "off the shelf" LED-bulb may also be of a light-temperature that may result in the lantern displaying a shift in colour. For these reasons usually only anchor-lights are refitted with LED. Also the lanternhouse should be painted in a non-reflective black colour (as the older ones were) in order to avoid incorrect angles being displayed by reflection and any colourshift in reflections. There are proper certified LED lanterns available as complete new units. But they are expensive...

@FlyingConey Год назад

Just noticed that vessels over 20 meters in size really do need the non- reflective matt black light shielding. Thanks for adding the information about the LED lights.

@Matthias9319 Год назад

As a schipper i can tell you the worst thing with a wooden wheelhouse is the connection from the wood to metal, the rust that i can see doesn't seem to bad yet so if you have ever have the chance to take the wheelhouse of i would weld a strip of rustfree steel there so it will never rot again. The wheelhouse is looking great and i am sorry to tell you what you should do but i am suffering the same problems on my vessel and i don't wish them on your's :)

@FlyingConey Год назад

Thanks for the advice! The steel behind the wood really is a problematic area. The rust rundowns that you see are mostly where there was no sealant on the window frames. We plan to wash the rust rundowns off with some oxalic acid and we already have renewed the sealant on the window frames. The plan is to take the roof and the window frames off to lower the wheelhouse. Then we have the chance to weld in a strip of stainless steel. There are also some bimetallic strips of steel and aluminium. They used those at the Tigerhaij project.

I suggest one change for your chart table . Cut the corners of edging down flush with the table top. That way it can be cleaned much more easily. Sanded , nice curves open corners. It is a nice table in a good spot.

@oldsharkie3786 Год назад

Raised edges, sometimes referred to as fiddles, prevent things from rolling or sliding off the table surface while underway.

Exactly that! Although slightly on the bigger side, after all Flying Coney is a ship. On the ocean every ship is small and it's surprising how much you feel waves and how much everything moves.

There are direct replacements globes for the navigation lights in LED that are in expensive and will save a lot on power draw. The globe fittings apear to be for 21 watt incandescent globes and there is 5 watt replacements in LED that have a higher light output and put off virtually no heat.

@kjell-ovekarlsson8965 Год назад

If you mix 30% ammonia and water and soak the teak with this and scrub with a dish brush and lightly scrape with a steel spatula, you clean it deeply and it will get its color back, and you don't have to sand as hard.

@typxxilps 9 месяцев назад

4:20 - you need to mark this video talking about the future that the wheelhouse will do the job for another 5 or 10 or 15 years. Imagine it would start leaking in 2 years time on the first north sea trip to Scottland or Norway then it will be great to watch this part and your strong believe and confidence in your workmanship - but with a smile "what had I'd said back then". Do not take me wrong: I am not painting the devil on the wall (literal translated german saying) I am talking about the experience that things I had been so convinced went even far sooner wrong or developed a failure I had completely overlooked or not believed especially all ideas with water and where it can not get through, but later got through and quite often far sooner than thought , which means our solar panel roof on top of the rooftiles got a leakage even it had no leakage before.

@FlyingConey 9 месяцев назад

We did what we could in the two weeks of summer we had. It was a summer so windy and rainy that we almost developed a winter depression. The original plan was to take the solar panels of and repaint the damn thing. There simply wasn't enough time to replace the whole lot and even start fiberglassing. It would've been "pearls for the pigs" 😉 anyway since we probably will alter the dimension of the wheelhouse and subsequently the roof.

Exchanging them is easy and inexpensive and unfortunately not legal. You need class approved certified lamps at least for a vessel our size.

@CharlieAitchison-g3s Год назад

Enjoy your videos and have followed quietly for a while but had to call out one mistake i fear you may be making. Your nav light wooden shroud should have a matt black finish behind the lamp to prevent reflection and make the red and green lights stand out clearly to prevent any mistakes when viewed by other ships. Check out the barges moored next to you. Small change but important. Keep on keeping on because you are doing sterling work with the refurb.

@FlyingConey Год назад

The navlight bases are not mandatory and I found no rules for this equipment. But you're correct, most boats have the insides painted dark. But sometimes you also find them painted red and green. It's quite difficult to get the paint on them because you need to turn the bases in between wait for the paint to be dry, turn it again and so on. If you watch closely you'll see that the finish is far from perfect because we rushed the painting to get the parts finished. So for now we won't sail at night and I'm almost certain that it's legal to have the insides painted white. Maybe we paint the insides black next spring.

@CharlieAitchison-g3s Год назад

The COLREGs require that sidelights (except when they form part of a combined light) shall be fitted with in-board screens which must be painted matt black.

@FlyingConey Год назад

Yes it's possible to install LED bulbs. They're not even expensive. But it's not legal to use them. Navigation lights must be class approved and certified for the type and size of vessel.

@Hotzenplotz1 Год назад

Why didn't you cover the rotten edge up for some days to give it a chance to dry? Putting some resin in there will trap the humidity in there. Or at least it will have to find other ways to dry. Great you're saving some of the mahogany now. The nav light bases will also need some epoxy coating as it's no exterior plywood from the look of it.

@FlyingConey Год назад

Sometimes for the sake of storytelling we don't show or tell every single step. There was enough time for the corner to dry out. The plywood for the nav light bases stood outside in the rain for over a year and it's still fine. I think it's at least AW100 ply but probably marin ply.
