We did some research before we hauled out the ship for the first time. But the wrong choice would've ended the project for sure. I can 100% recommend this shipyard on Urk.
A less scary way at least. The gaff and the boom are made out of steel and both are very heavy. So that both crashing down while lifting the dingy was a real warning shot. I'm crazy but not crazy enough to use the old mast for sailing.
You are making wonderful progress on this Mighty vessel, and it is clear you're doing it the right way..Blessings to you and yours coming at you from Southern Oregon
Thanks a lot. So much happened during this shipyard time that it was quite hard to capture everything. Not one single day under 12 hours of working. But it feels amazing to make some progress!
It is nice to hear Flying Coney is in such good shape and when the time comes to replace and repair the ribs it will not be as big a task as once thought .Also now i know her age and she is only 3 years older than i am .
Another very enjoyable episode! It’s so much fun to see the original lines and character of Flying Coney emerge from under decades of modification. Subscribed!
There's a lot of prep work and planning involved to make actual progress on the boat. But we think we're now at a point were we can accelerate the progress and do some serious work in shorter time. We've just started.
Daniel, I know it’s a pain and very time consuming stripping old paint and rust back to bare metal but realistically if you have the time and patience I believe it’s the only way to go to assure a satisfactory result. It’s not really about how old Coney is but about your maintenance years ahead from this moment of restoration, any short cuts now means more work in the future.
That's true, but it's always a compromise. In this case I wasn't satisfied with the finish from the CSD disc so I stripped the mast completely. The Tercoo works great so I think I spend less time with the Tercoo than with the CSD Disc. In an ideal world it should be possible to spend some extra time and get a perfect result. But on a larger refit you often find yourself to work in circles until you are able to get to the final result.
Hi, if you want this new bom/mast to last, you need to ad a pipe trough it where the locking bolt is to keep out any air and water. Without it it will corrode on the inside, and you never know how strong it is.
At 21:40 you can see Cees using a pipe as a spacer and of corse we kept the pipe. I want to get a little bit more into welding and small tasks like that are ideal for practicing.
Can you remind me again why you have not put the permanent lettering on the name? The electrical tape stuck on the side spelling out "Flying Coney" looks quaint but it seems rather amateurish. Since you have had the boat for this long, it seems that you would have had time to put a nice looking painted (or even a decal) name on her. Certainly the 1 hour of effort to put proper lettering on her is not a waste of time? Can you repeat again (for my failing memory) the reason why you chose to name her Flying Coney? I know you told us before but I cant remember. Thanks and keep up the great progress on this project! Also my compliments to your video editing skills!
The connection between the bulwark and the caprail is rusting and so far it wasn't possible to treat it appropriately. In the shipyard it's too high up and in our harbor we were not allowed to grind steel. Also weather windows for painting are extremely short in the Netherlands. So we already have the name in golden letters but need about two days of nice weather at a place were we are allowed to grind to prepare the hull for the name. "Flying" is from out past in the Nacra 17 olympic catamaran class and "Coney" is an older word for bunny. We had bunny rabbits for a very long time so that's why we wanted to name the boat that way. I think it sounds like the name of a tea clipper ship this are the sailing ships I'm most fascinated by.
Barbara ? Are you going to be able to maintain straight hair? I would think the upkeep with intermittent power, coupled with humidity...it would become an unsurmountable task? Being a former hairdresser I might know a thing or two! However, very attractive on you, goodonyas!

You are lucky to have found a shipyard with skilled workers and tolerant of you working side by side. Thanks for sharing the video.

Slowly but surely Flying Coney is coming back to life. The process is fascinating to watch, thank you for inviting us to watch.
She is a big ship and you have so much work planned for her, so we will get to spend a long time watching the refit. 2x👍
Yes, we've planned to make some serious progress in the next year. But there are many many many more videos to come. We've just started.
I'm excited for you guys. Forward progress. Now a way to get the dingy in out the water.👍😎

Merry Christmas to you and your family thank you for sharing your story and talent with us John and Marie 💓
You too! Enjoy the Christmas time and all the best for 2025!

A lot of work is done. Thanks for sharing, and have a wonderful weekend

Very smooth welding

I love the channel. Flying Coney is getting better all the time !

Happy holidays you two....and good repurposing
Some Classy welding there.
Good plan, nice job. The ponytails are looking beautifull also.......
Love this ship, love this project, love this channel, and even never having met, love you two!
Thank you very much! We do our best to keep the videos coming and it feels good to make some progress on the ship!
I’m impressed with you guys. Good stuff.
Wonderful progress. It is great to see the strides forward you are making.

@@FlyingConey congratulations on achieving the difficult, often invisible, behind-the-scenes work!
Enjoyed the episode very much. Thanks for sharing.
Great Vid, always nice to see her coming along, I really like to see how the different parts are made or brought back to life
Great video.
I look forward to see the progress you make in the upcoming New Year.
Be safe and Happy Holiday's ☃️🎄
Funniest clip in today's video:
Surveyor - "You know 1mm of steel equals 10mm if rust"
Daniel - "MmmmHmmm"
Jullie schip wordt steeds mooier ik geniet van de video's fijne dagen en gezond 2025 groetjes 😊😊😊😊

Have you considered space buns, I think they would suit you more than plaits :)
Ha, another vote for space buns! I also like them very much but Barbara is afraid that it looks too child like. But we might give it a shot.
😎🤙💪💪💪
The master himself! Thanks for investing all the time to bring our boat back to life. You did an amazing job!
I cannot understand why the new loading boom only has a fixed (up/down) movement why did you not make it so it rotated also 180 deg ?
Wir folgen euch ja von Anfang an, aber jetzt mit 70 hege ich die Befürchtung, dass ich das Endresultat nicht mehr erleben werde. LG Klaus
The hull "is in perfect condition" ? Probably better to say "perfectly acceptable condition"
You’ll start as a sailor and end up as a shipwright.

Will Barbara be a blonde next week? Stay tuned.
