This shipyard time comes to an end. But we are already preparing the next one. So after the shipyard time is before the shipyard time. And we are looking for volunteers that help us to bring Flying Coney back to life. There still is plenty to do. So some helping hands would be very much appreciated! If you want to join us, here is the contact form: eepurl.com/isvgFU
I never seen my wife so happy she gave me hell I truly doubted you two and kept putting you down to her but she believed in you two and as a result I have to cook and bloody clean for a whole week congratulations in getting me in trouble from her and me well done
Thanks to your wife for believing in us. Cleaning and peeling potatoes is a good preparation if you ever want to crew aboard Flying Coney 🤣 So enjoy and I hope you've learned you should never doubt your wife. Tell her that we've found an ol cat o' nine tails and she can have it! She surely needs it more than we do 🐈⬛ lol
The hull was designed for efficiency and for relatively long fishing trips out on the open ocean. That's why you have the sharp bow and the drop shape. Flying Coney has the shape of a lugger, a drift netter in comparison to a trawler it's a more elegant shape if you ask me. The reason is that a drift netter is designed to sail to the herring grounds, trow the net overboard and drift in front of the net for a few hours whilst providing a stable platform for the hard working man. A trawler is designed to tow big nets over shallow areas like the Dogger Bank with enormous capabilities to resist the heavy sea in this areas. Hope you find that interesting 🤓
@@FlyingConey I was a commercial fisherman for years, I think that’s why the bill shape and general design of it appeals to me. An aft wheel house is always a nice ride in big seas. You guys have a beautiful vessel and she deserves to be kept alive!
I’m a perfectionist, and I completely relate to the inclination to do everything perfectly. I sometimes spend way too much money on the “best solution”. I agree being in the shipyard was probably a good thing to get the project moving.
Nice job sanding. It will make the paint stay on way better. You are continuing to keep me impressed with your commitment towards excellence. Im looking forward to seeing the paint job.
Thank you! We really tried our best. Only at the scrub rail a bit more derusting would've been great. But for that a needle scaler or blasting are the right tools and in hindsight we're surprised how long ordinary paints last directly above rust. To be honest we hoped for two months.
I think Coney is beautiful without paint. I can’t wait to see what she looks like when she’s done. Painting is 90% prep work and 10% painting. Your prep work was outstanding and I am sure you have protected that boat for a very long time.
All the time the lads told us we have to wait to see the hull painted. I was always a bit skeptical with all the rough welding spots and asked them each day if I can take the sander to make the flush... They told me I've to wait. At the end they were right! With the paint on it's barely visible and it looks like any other hull from that period.
Yes, ships are CONSTANT upkeep. But all the work keeps you SAFEST out at sea. So one of the the beauties of Sailing/motoring is that it remains a way to rise another day. You have chosen to make up for YEARS of neglect to rebuild a ship that was failing. A lot of work! But it gives back to you every minute when it counts. Helpers? Be CHOOSY, as they will do a lot unseen by accidental means. Lives depend on that ship in the water. Other than that, stay warm, get ready for the enchantment for what is to come. Rich
20000 - for the bravest couple on all of the UA-cam -congrats! The journey from speed-flying catamarans to relentless flying steel-penetrating/cleaning monster machines. Good to see both of you got their MOJO back!
The 20k surely is a big milestone. It feels like we're a real YT channel now 😎 However, I truly believe that each one of the 20 000 is important. Each one of you made the decision to watch our videos and subscribe to our channel. On the other hand the imagination of speaking in front of 20 000 people 😨😁
Flying coney needs to be painted just like a classic vessel of her age would be wherever she was built in. The Netherlands have a certain look along with every other classic shipyard has its own style and look along with colors. I personally think it should be 2 toned. Bottom color and above the water line color
You really put your heart and soul into Flying Coney!❤🔥 One step closer to the dream every day! And all experiences are good experiences because you can always learn something from them. Keep up the good work, we're cheering you on!👏👏
I use the working overall as a guid to when it's time to go back into the water. When we came to the shipyard it was basically new and now I need a new one 😁
Paint or primer usually comes off from a steel surface easily when it hasn't been sanded properly or its has dirt dust grease on the surface prior to when it being applied.
Sure, but the paint has been on there since at least 2018 and it still is on the port side. It must have been a chemical reaction with the dust or dirt. It's no big deal but interesting.
I would love to help you two but I am in Australia - a long way away. Your hard work ethic and determination is awesome and should be a shining example to all. Good Luck with everything.
The 10 minutes or so watching pressure washing did not amuse me, but it did serve to drive home the size and complexity of this project. The comments leading to your realization that "good enough is good enough" underline an important milestone. Now, on to reality😂!
Your hard work is showing Coney's starting to look better can't wait to see the paint job . Anyone who's ever been in a boatyard knows it's a very dirt place , i bet you can't wait to get back in the water !
Few tips: - Rust = At least use Rust converter/eater or Phosphoric acid - We had our 30m ship blasted with 3000bar water jet. It was sandblasted 2 years later. For boats this size the high pressure was really is not equal or better than the sandblasting. - Next time you prepare the boat for paiting I would rent diesel heated steam/pressurewasher with proper nozzle. The prepwork is more important than any other stage. Keep on going!
Hi, thank you for advice. My question about the water jet blasting you've carried out would be if you have a welded or a riveted hull? The reason we tend towards the water jet blasting is to don't damage the rivets and the seams. We simply forgot about the rust converter. Over the weeks we lost the ability to make proper decisions. In hindsight probably a big mistake but so far the paint is holding up quite well. Also the hull was of course pressure washed when they hauled us out. So it was more a washing off dust and dirt than anything else. Thanks again for your comment!
@@FlyingConey Our´s is from 1950´s so welded but deck is aluminum wich is riveted and later partly bolted with HST bolts. Our issue was that the areas that were ok before, were ok after the water blasting. Areas with rust issues still had them after the blasting. I know what kind of workload you are going through. Keep up the good work! I think that the paint will be ok until next time :) Forgot to say that steel/aluminum seams started partly leaking after blasting, but the is nothing that 5 layerd of International won´t fix :D
The vision and the imagination of how it will be to sail Flying Coney keeps us going. It's always tough to get started with something new and we decided to buy a ship AND start a YT channel 🫣
@Sailing Flying Coney What a great Title, lol. It was 5 a.m. here in Tennessee and first thing I did to start my day was watching your update. No I can continue with my morning. Have a great day.
Here it was 11 a.m when we published. It's amazing how UA-cam is capable to connect people from all over the world! Enjoy your morning and all the best!
Bravo superbe projet prenez des cours de soudure et faite le vous même à l avenir 🤑🤑 pourquoi ne pas installer une helice d étrave 👍👍👍 bravo from France
Every time I watch one of your videos' I feel like taking a nap. You guys work so hard you ware me out. I have grand children your ages. It's wonderful to watch younger people achieve there dreams, love you guys.
You two always make my day .I always smile while you explain what you are doing and thinking of doing ,and figuring out how and when to do something .So many of the things you have done and still need to do i have done at one time or another ,on a much smaller scale of course Seeing how you are transforming Flying Coney ,And how she is doing the same for the two of you is also something i also enjoy seeing happen .learning new things and navigating thru the problems as you find them .the one that stands out for me is how you had to learn to compromise ,and i think as time goes on you may realize this is the greatest lesson Fling Coney has taught you ,well that and patience .😀
Sure, it's only 10 000 miles and roughly 20 000 liters diesel. So preferably we finish the rig first. Also the engine would benefit from an overhaul. I'm awaiting your payment 😎😁
what did you use to catch the paint flakes from just landing on the ground? did you check any of the paint for lead content? otherwise another great video and best wishes. also if you don't want to sandblast you can hydroblast. there are pressure washers that have over 20.000 psi which will remove paint and rust.
The yard has a strainer at the end of the slipway. From time to time they shovel all the dirt out and it properly disposed. The paint shouldn't contain lead. Hydrojetblasting is a possible solution to blast the hull but we're not sure and it will depend on the company that carries out the work.
It's absolutely no silly question. It's always necessary to get rid of loose rust or layers of rust. That's the reason why we needed to treat the waterline, just to make sure that there's no hole. When this first step is done it's a matter on how long you want the coating to last. Directly above rust, 6 months. On properly prepared steel like we had done, 5-7 years. You can add a few years on top of that if you use rust converter. Sandblasting 20-25 years. Then you can make the calculation what makes sense and what not. but we simply forgot to use rust converter and where to tiered to make any decision.
Yeah, in real time you are likely already in the water, but it is so cool to watch the progress. Steel boats hulls are rarely nicely faired and shiny paint makes all the "flaws" more visible. When we painted our VdS we added some flattening agent into the paint so it is less shiny and the flaws almost disappeared! Keep up the good work.
Just subscribed , and one video you were going to tell us why you changed the name of the ship. but didn't ....why? Kiwi Dave New Zealand (Home of the Top Sailors) ;) .
The explanation of the name is in the Q&A 😉 Thanks for subscribing. The "Flying" is a reference to our past in the foiling Nacra 17 catamaran racing class. We both love bunnies and the "Coney" is a sneaky way to name a ship after those animals. Because you never say rabbit on a boat and some take this very very serious. And I wanted to have a name that looks good on a bottle of Whiskey. Past Names: Sally, Ran, Ekhart, Catharina, Leendert and Tiny. So Flying Coney is not the first name of the boat 🤣 And considering her size the first name is almost like a joke.
@@FlyingConey Thank you for the reply. I see one of the past names is Ran... We follow Ran Sailing as well, they are building a 60ftr yacht in their back yard Sweden. KiwiDave New Zealand. Home if the America's Cup 😀
Hi guys, you need a gas powered power washer. They are much stronger and will really clean very well. Actually, I would rent a steam Jenny. They power wash with steam and high pressure and do an amazing job. Just some suggestions but I guess you guys are way past that point already. Keep up the great work and in the meantime , stay sexy Barbara. ❤️ 😁
Hi Frank, thanks for the comment! The steam Jenny sounds interesting for cleaning the bilge and the engine room. Maybe it would also be possible to get the coating off from the inside. We could've used the power washer from the yard but we pickt our own little power washer because we only wanted to clean the dirt and the dust off. And as you've seen we striped the paint from the deck 😂😎
A good thing to consider before Splashing,Would be To Pressure wash the Bilges from Bow to Stern! That way disposing of the contaminants could be contained at the Location for Proper Disposal!! With a vessel of her age I would imagine that the Bilges were neglected as much of the rest if the vessel was when your purchased it! Just a Thought of Good Common Sense, and Beneficial to the rest of the project going forward.
Only on bare steel like on the welding spots. Usually you need a blasted surface to use a two component paint. So we used a high quality aluminium primer.
@@FlyingConey who would recommend Single part Alluminum base Paint on the Bottom of a Steel Vessel? You also referenced applying new Primer over old paint being acceptable in your previous videos. Very Confusing.
@@lawrencetrapani5623 Not confusing, just industry standard. If you have a blasted hull and the right conditions you CAN apply a two component paint. If you top up the paint you use a one component system since it's possible to apply it above most two component and one component paint systems. A two component paint system is also about 20 000€ for the paint alone a one component system is about 3 000€.
@@FlyingConey you Get what you Pay For! It would seem the best choice would be to apply the most effective product for Longevity! You had some Serious electrolysis issues and it would seem that giving it all the protection you can! PS have you taken steps to making sure that your grounding system throughout the vessel is inspected, additionally, it would be a wise choice to have someone bring a corrosion meter to your vessel and check it for galvanic or stray current corrosion. I would recommend you purchase or contact someone to spend the time with a Corrosion Meter on your vessel and point out any stray current, and make sure the vessel is properly protected. Corrosion is measured in millivolts and if not properly addressed can certainly cause problems. Perhaps you would find a journal or book to assist you with this!
We're using high quality paint. Pretty much industry standard. We've measured the 24 volt system and disconnected the 220 volt system. So for now it should be fine. We still try to find a good marine electrician to investigate what happened. And we now have the proper type of anodes!
Flying coney is a beautiful ship as she is when you both were sanding the hull it showed off her lines and size I love Flying coney you are going to make her more beautiful I wish you calm seas and fair winds 😊😊😊😊
I like the look of a two tone ship, and she was a fishing vessel. great video 2x👍 Love the way Barbara says her name, I wish I could roll my Rs so well.
I'm just starting to see how big Flying Coney is. When you were wrapping up this video the deck seemed to stretch off into the distance. Then I realised you were probably standing in the middle of the boat with another 30 to 40 feet of boat behind the camera. What an amazing story /stories you will have about your beautiful boat. Elbow grease seems to work wonders. 😊
Pressure washing and leaving a fine coating of rust is a common practice just make sure that it is completely dry before painting. For your information those slots on the deck walls are for letting water drain out. To prevent water coming in with big waves they sometimes put flaps over them. Just make sure that they open outward. I heard of a case where they but them on backward and opened inward trapping water on the deck and even sinking the boat!
Primer = the paint, Priming = applying the primer, Primed = afterwards the boat is primed. English is a confusing language and I have been using it since I was 1yr old 62 years ago.
You transferred first of all at lot of micro plastic into the port with pressure washing off all the paint on the slipway. Even if this is standard in the yard it's not okay at all. In sportboat marinas all the water is collected and disposed on the expense of the marina or boat club. I really hate this split level class community. Commercial ships and other businesses are always allowed what the normal citizens are not.

PS have you taken steps to making sure that your grounding system throughout the vessel is inspected, additionally, it would be a wise choice to have someone bring a corrosion meter to your vessel and check it for galvanic or stray current corrosion. I would recommend you purchase or contact someone to spend the time with a Corrosion Meter on your vessel and point out any stray current, and make sure the vessel is properly protected. Corrosion is measured in millivolts and if not properly addressed can certainly cause problems.
Perhaps you would find a journal or book to assist you with this!
We're using high quality paint. Pretty much industry standard. We've measured the 24 volt system and disconnected the 220 volt system. So for now it should be fine. We still try to find a good marine electrician to investigate what happened. And we now have the proper type of anodes!
Flying coney is a beautiful ship as she is when you both were sanding the hull it showed off her lines and size I love Flying coney you are going to make her more beautiful I wish you calm seas and fair winds 😊😊😊😊
I like the look of a two tone ship, and she was a fishing vessel. great video 2x👍
Love the way Barbara says her name, I wish I could roll my Rs so well.
Thanks for taking us...i like to see every little progress you make/made. Keep up your good work and spirit.
Take the anodes off and clean and paint behind them...
The anodes are welded in place. It's the way you do it on this size of vessel. I know on Yachts it's different.
You should try a power broom to go over the deck an hull , may help remove any flaking pant and rust
I'm just starting to see how big Flying Coney is. When you were wrapping up this video the deck seemed to stretch off into the distance. Then I realised you were probably standing in the middle of the boat with another 30 to 40 feet of boat behind the camera. What an amazing story /stories you will have about your beautiful boat. Elbow grease seems to work wonders. 😊
Pressure washing and leaving a fine coating of rust is a common practice just make sure that it is completely dry before painting. For your information those slots on the deck walls are for letting water drain out. To prevent water coming in with big waves they sometimes put flaps over them. Just make sure that they open outward. I heard of a case where they but them on backward and opened inward trapping water on the deck and even sinking the boat!
Going well.Lots of hard work.
Can't wait to see it painted! What is real time vs video time?
priming
Primer = the paint, Priming = applying the primer, Primed = afterwards the boat is primed. English is a confusing language and I have been using it since I was 1yr old 62 years ago.
Thanks for clearing that up! Well in German the opposite of "umfahren" is "umfahren". 🤣
Hope all that dirt and paint isn’t going into the water
Power washing a ship is what a shipyard normally does. So of course there's a strainer.
@@FlyingConey your doing a great job ,I hope you get a lot of pleasure from your hard work
A advice don’t paint the outside cooling system every year , paint isolating that too if you understand what I mean
Get a 4000 psi pressure washer yours is just a light hose down
That was exactly the plan. The boat already had a good power wash directly after the haul out.
jÖ.
:)
These videos would be so much more entertaining without repeating the same thing over and over…
I like my intro. Almost nobody is skipping it. I make the videos I like to make feel free to watch them for free.
Cmon its not that big
You transferred first of all at lot of micro plastic into the port with pressure washing off all the paint on the slipway. Even if this is standard in the yard it's not okay at all. In sportboat marinas all the water is collected and disposed on the expense of the marina or boat club. I really hate this split level class community. Commercial ships and other businesses are always allowed what the normal citizens are not.
The water from the slipway IS collected and the particles are disposed properly.
You guys took on a great big job. You’ve done well. Hard work pays off.
