We finally make progress again on our huge project boat.
Join us when we continue to gut the interior of our 82 ft steel boat.
A lot of destruction, a lot of dust, and overall a lot of progress.

Here is the link the the wishlist. Unfortunately it's in Dutch on default but you can change the language next to the search window. We are trying to find a better solution.
Get Surfshark (it will protect your computer and online safety) AND you can reset your VPN to England. Then English will be the default.
PS I’m hey might even sponsor you.
Demolition is often ugly but you’re making great strides.
Just remember that for every hour taking old stuff out you will have 10 hours putting new stuff in. In the end your efforts will pay off in a ship that looks like new. Thanks for sharing the video.
I wish your statement was not accurate but its too accurate 😂
Enjoy your humor. Been watching all your videos. Daniel and Barbra are becoming demolition professionals. Eager to see your design and skills at rebuilding.
Advantages of multitool 1 and multitool 2:
A: no battery or electric required.
B: universal size - fits in almost any location.
C: cleaner (doesn't produce as much dust or sawdust as sawzall).
D: dramatic - creates the most "Bang!" for demolition videos
Also much safer and I don't think it's slower. The only faster and even more spectacular way would be the good ol' chainsaw. But I'm not that stupid 😁
Поддерживаю. Юмор отличный!
BREAK THE JOINTS FIRST, THEN THE NUTS!! SOX FIRST, THEN SHOES! LOVE YALLS MUSIC!!
I truly enjoy seeing you guys respect your own safety. I watch a number of rebuild projects and you guys do it right. 😊
Thanks 👍 Glad you noticed it 😉
Danial: multi-tool part 1 & part 2 are without doubt the most efficient and reliable demolition tool system you will ever have. After demolition you will still find them very handy for fine adjustment during installation, especially multi-tool Part 2.
Working with the multi-tools is also relatively dust free. Especially compared to sawing. Since we can never be sure what types of glues and paints have been used in the 70s it's better for the environment and for us as well. And less dangerous...
You should have a demolition party with a few friends if your ripping it all out, be far quicker and enjoyable for all
Feel free to come by!
So disappointed you gonna leave the Netherlands....and Urk. I hoped to see you come back to Urk when you are finished the ship. Veel succès en plezier met werken aan de boot. Gr Sjouke
Urk was great and it really was a tough decision. Of course we will come back once we are finished. Can't think of a better place to get new bottom paint and anodes than Hoekman. But we also will make a short stop on our way to Germany.
good that you give away the harmful material so that you can rebuild everything, thank you for the update
Luckily not much harmful materials left in the boat but we are still careful and always wearing masks.
I've always found the demolition part of a job just as rewarding as the reconstruction. You're making progress and that's what it's all about.
Keep your head into it and you're spirits up. Flying Coney will be a thing of beauty before you know it.
It feels good to have all those smelly, rotten and far gone materials out of the boat. At one point we made the decision to start from scratch and I think there's really no other way of doing it.
for the heating of the interior, a tip, make a heat exchanger for heating between the engine cooling and outgoing hot water, if you sail on the engine, that is free heat, and higher efficiency from your fuel.
make a pass between the hot water output of the engine and connect it to it. vBJE268YT_jJmVyqKi23BoCinQQAvD_BwE
Hello Henk, that's the plan and since we have a keel cooling it's easy to do. Another benefit is that it also works the other way round and you can preheat the engine with the heating. Also we want to have the generator connected to the heating. Probably the center of the system will be a phase changer storage tank 🤩 Love to think about fat distant projects and dreams. More fun than thinking about how to get the concrete out 🤣
Daniel, super geiler hairstyle make-over.😊
Fun fact: Explosives are very useful for demolition purposes😇 And soo interesting to watch. If you can find the camera afterwards, that is😁
Stripping the interior will give you a big blank canvas to see what you can do with the space. It will be nice to see a before and after video when your finished.
We've planned to make a tour after each big step. Actually the last video was such a tour and it was filmed about 2 years after we've bought the boat. We will start to rebuilt the interior in the saloon area first because in this compartment we can fit a gally, a cabin, a seating area and maybe a bathroom extending into the engine room. So everything we need for living.
@@FlyingConey have you created plans for Flying Coney's floor plan?
Love the new look! Both of you have come a long way
Glad you think so!
I kept thinking of when they dismantled the "Great Eastern"........... (look it up ;) ) Luv ya work!
Hello from Siesta Key Florida
Hello there!
Awesome. I love pulling things apart. In a series called Absolutely Fabulous the latest trend was "surfaces darling surfaces". I love seeing the use of two of the best tools available. Yes I can understand Flying Coney must look like she is expanding exponentially. Do not worry she will only grow to be 82' long. Its the alternate universe that opens up when you start working on her that's 820' long. 😊
I'm afraid she will eventually grow to be 105ft long 😂 But it feels good to finally make some progress and we demolished a complete galley and removed about half of the ceiling. But the alternate universe inside the hull could be true we could fit the interior of UMA twice into the saloon... Next week we will finally have a volunteer helping us to make more progress and I think that's the point, Flying Coney is a sailing ship to be sailed by many people not just by the two of us.
You both are awesome. Keep up the good work and just know that we love what you are doing.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Truly amazing, this episode is the best one to date, the cinematography is perfect and the sound epic. The demo of the fish hold is a huge project and we can't wait to see the progress next week. Happy Demo week ahead.
It feels soo good to be back working and getting things done. Next week will be the first one were we work together with volunteers. So I'm quite exited. Glad you noticed the effort that went into this episode. For us it was a challenge because it was the first episode filmed from scratch and not built with archive footage from the last shipyard time.
@FlyingConey if you go sailing as the plan is,,,watch the gearbox, it can turn when the engine is off,,,by sailing, the propeller shaft will rotate, but the engine is off,,then the oil pressure often works do not pump from the gearbox and then do not lubricate,,,the oil pressure pump of the gearbox is driven by the input shaft that is attached to the engine,,and with sails it is off,,,,then a propeller shaft brake must be applied that Propeller shaft stop hold ,,,I don't know what type of reverse gear is behind it, so just ask or Google,,greetings Henk.
Hope you are selling the pumping and radiators. Bit of money towards your ship. Can wait to see the finish when you start refitting.
Do you think there's a market for that? It's at least 40 years old so I assume it's down to scrap value.
Also all the cabling you ripped out has great value. If you strip the ship down good you can make a lot of money with the scrap
Thanks for the update! I enjoyed it.
Glad to hear it!
Deck, bulkhead, sole overhead (deckhead for those in the UK). I believe you are committed to doing this right and also calling yourselves sailors. Therefore, please use the proper terms.
We try to use the right terminology when it comes to structural parts of the boat. Frames, stringers, knees, blukheads, deck.... Terminology is tricky when it comes to decorational stuff like peneling, interior walls and so on. For example I think the right word for the ceiling we have removed would be headliner. Is the paneling of the bulkhead also the bulkhead? But if you notice a wrong term please feel free to correct us we would like to know!
Every great restoration project starts with demolition . As you strip out the old interior it looks like layers of history . I only wish I lived closer I'd come by and help I spent years scheduling & restoring old buildings . Salvage the reusable materials the rest recycle or trash . great video well done ....the dirty work will pass and the new interior i'm sure will be amazing .
Thanks! Really not much of the interior is reusable but the drivetrain and the lines are great and she will be a magnificent sailing ship.
During a job satisfaction survey, it was found people who do demolition for a living are happiest in their profession. Loved this video!
We did our best to bring the joy of demolition across in the video. And it really does feel good to be back at the project and finally make some progress. Can't wait till next week when the rest of the interior is smashed into pieces.
Love this project! You two are awesome! Any drawings of what the new interior layout? I’m trying to visualize the new layout.
We've planned a tour were we give you an idea what the boat will look like in the future including an interior layout plan. But with the soon coming shipyard time I had no time to bring the ideas on paper. So until now they're all in my head.
We call that a goose neck
You had my laughing all thru this one .
Glad you enjoyed the episode. It really was fun to make and to film.
@@FlyingConey There's nothing more fun than taking a whang and bang it tool and dismantling something .Great therapy for stress and frustration .
Thankyou for replying Daniel about the music....
it is at the end i guess youd call it blue grass about 23:00.
All the best from the UK your channel is picking up here
I have heard people talking about it in my local pub.
Let's hope the channel will explode soon 😁
Music: Hunter Quinn - Country Gold
Looking good
Got to love the sailor that doesn't secure their head sail on the furler. That's an expensive mistake.
It was blowing 62 knots so almost 12Bft. The forecast for the day was 35 knots. Things like that happen sometimes and he tried hard to save it. The idea of the day was the guy who thought it's safer out on anchor and was going out and shortly later drifting downwind with the anchor down and the engine running.
Steady and remarkable progress!
Surf music seems to match well with demolition. I wish I could be there to help
Great update 2x👍 Look on the bright side of stripping the interior the poop tank has gone already. ☺
The north sea can be a little windy and rough, even in high summer. My lounge looks right out across it and I can see the windows flecking when the wind comes from the sea.
In hindsight the poop tank was probably the single hardest task so far. Sharing the pole position with the de-rusting of the waterline with the Tercoo.
We're really looking forward to the journey to Germany but for us it's important to you only see waves and ships in the far distance from your lounge and not a huge steel ship on the beach 😁
Love Your multitool and it is even cordless😊
Also a multi head screw driver...
Oddly satisfying to watch the demolition work... Are you scrapping all the materials or planning on reusing some?
That is a big engine room.
About 5 meters long and 6 meters wide. That's why we want to make it smaller. On port we do want to have a bathroom and aft of the engine we want to make a bulkhead and have the captains cabin aft of it.
Just love the tool kit part two is my preferred tool lol 😂😂love it
Every time i hear the name Flying Coney I laugh ! Just picturing a Flying Rabbit with a cape holding a carrot ! lol
Without a little bit of humor a project like this wouldn't be possible. Also funny, her first name after her official rebuilt in 1950 was "TINY" 🤣
Hello. Very nice watching your adventure. No bullshit drinking Foriegn beer talking about what they’ll never do. Love watching you two. Need to ask if you could provide your patreon wish list in English as well. Many thanks
We're trying to find a way to have a wish list in English. Until then you can alter the language next to the search window on Amazon. If you know an easy fix let us know.
Tearing out is job. Picking up the junk is a real PAIN!!!
Thanks
That's lovely ❤️ Thank you very much!

As you both ripped everything out. Are you going to redesign the interior or put back basically everything in the same place?
You’re getting there slooowly but surely 😂👍👍
We will redesign everything. Starting from scratch is the only way to go and was always the plan. When we bought the boat the original interior was already half way gone.
Hi guys, great to see you back on task again, Daniel, I see that they give bad hair cuts in that neck of the woods to, so pleased it’s not just restricted to Australia, like my Dad use to say “ it’s only a couple of weeks between a good and bad haircut”. Guys, can I ask, have you worked out whether it would be better to put SC on the dry or leave it in the water to do the refurbishment. The reason I ask is because I watch other channels and one in particular, Leo reckons it better to get as much done on land for various reasons, just a question. I am really enjoying your progress and with follow with great interest.
Tally Ho is about fife! times smaller than Flying Coney and Leo does have a complete workshop set up and more than 11 people working on the boat. We use slipways for the work that needs to be done below the waterline and yards do need their slipways. Usually you're only a few days or weeks out of the water. It's very difficult to find a place that could crane you out and store you on land, it would be extremely expensive. Another option would be a dry dock but again that's extremely expensive.
We have the option to set up a workshop in the vessel itself or also on deck. When we tell you about the size of the boat in the video it's really not to brag or show off but the size limits some options and give us others.
I became tired and discouraged looking all that job you are doing, but I'll pray for you.
Just a little bit of interior left and a few structural repairs later we can finally start to build up.
If you are tired watching the video, can you imagine how tired Daniel and Barbara are? A benefit of watching some of the demolition, is remember the before and seeing the after of each refit.
Where are the charging ports for those modern multitools?
Wow this old rust bucket just keeps on giving lot of hard work ahead but I think you might just do it only time will tell
We now know what is awaiting us and what to expect. Getting out the concrete will be the last really huge but manageable challenge. And then piece by piece we can start to build up.
Did you call ahead and reserve a dock space
Yes of course! The weather in Germany is so much better😂😂😂, and medical costs so much cheaper as you expect to have accidents!
Because of sail racing we spent long periods in foreign countries all over Europe. Getting to know different cultures and climates. Yes the climate especially at the Baltic Sea is very different. As for the the medical costs, I needed an injection in my knee last year. The quote we got in the Netherlands was 800€ so we drove to Germany there it was free. I got a little paint chip into my eye last year, it was impossible to sea an eye specialist in the Netherlands. And the list goes on and on. Also most doctors here don't except European health insurance.
These two must have one cubic meter of 500 euro notes on hand.
Turned out we're really good at getting things done at a reasonable rate.
Just curious. How do you get rid of all the demo material?. Keep up the good work.
You both are awesome. I love watching your channel and seeing progress on you ship. Keep up the good work and just know that we love what you are doing
Thank you for that lovely comment 👍
this a lot of work, but nothing to what's next. good luck:)!.....
You guys doings so well, i've been watching you from the very beginning. But please along with your other safety aids use helmets too.
I'm afraid once I start waring a helmet this comment section starts to get really toxic. But thanks for your safety concerns! I'm careful and not much overhead paneling left...
didn't you say at the next shipyard you're going to remove the concrete? that because it rusts the steel quicker? how much do you have to remove? how do you get ride of all the wood, stuff you've taken down? and what will you do with your motorhome? sell it? Shame you can't get an army full of volunteers to help you. just to form a line to pitch the junk off the boat. it will look fantastic when done i'm sure, good job.
Actually concrete protects the steel from rust. But right above it is a critical area because all the moisture runs down the hull and collects there. That's why some, if not to say most, frames are corroded right were the concrete starts. So in order to repair them we need to take out a little bit of the concrete to be able to repair the frames. The motorhome is our only car at the moment so until we are finished with the project and start traveling full time we have to keep the motorhome. Volunteers are always welcome so if you have time feel free to come 😉 All the best!

Jö-Yard
Not yet, not yet 🤣
Lecker!
Difficult getting medical assistance?? I brought my ex wife to the Netherlands, from Romania. Back then not even in the EU. No problem whatsoever to get her a medical insurance. That's 5 minutes of work.😂
Furthermore: the weather? It's the same in the whole northern part of Germany, so I don't know what you're talking about. Also: this was an exceptional summer, long time no see. And I'm 63 years old, so I have some experience. But I'm very glad it is like this. And you should be as well. Colder weather means you can work harder, without dying inside a steel hull. Plus what sailor doesn't like wind????🤣
The Netherlands don't accept the European Health Insurance. So it's no problem in the case of an emergency but it's difficult to get routine check ups and almost impossible to see a specialist like an eye doctor if you gotten a chip of paint in your eye. Just an example...
@@FlyingConey so get an insurance here. 150 euros per month per person.
For an insurance you need an official address in the Netherlands. It's almost impossible to get a berth with an address and we don't want to stay here forever. That makes many things more complicated.
😃😃
👍
Well done, these rotten plywood looked horrible and I can barely imagine the smell😂
Sorry for the navlight-cable, but this seems a minor problem.
Hopefully you make fast progress. All the best from Berlin
Replacing the Nav light power cables will give you the opportunity to replace it and label the line properly. Always better to have new cables. Perhaps you can get cables in different colors.
Astonishingly some flimsy pieces of plywood create some resistance when one will get them loose.
My guess is that the plywood isn't all that bad. Probably Okume and the cabin sole is made out of black boatbuilding plywood. But if you build something without ventilation you see the result after 50 years in our video.
@@FlyingConey Ventilation is quite not that easy with boats and interiors needs to be planned from the beginning the thermal fluctuations, hull, outside air/water so many condensation… one cubic meter of air at 25 °C can carry 23 ml of water and at 10 °C it‘s just 9ml guess its quite important to really totally stop the airflow within the structural layer to avoid condensation or having a 100% hydrophobic insulation material plus ventilation which might be quite tricky to avoid non or not so good ventilated air pockets.
The biggest issue was that back in 1977 someone decided to leave the cork insulation in place. Everything else are just minor problems. The problem with a riveted hull is that it's never 100% watertight similar to a wooden boat, so a moisture tight insulation might trap water and leads to corrosion.
We will see next week how rotten the podestal of the gally actually is.
Von Urk nach Ditzum kann man doch auch binnen fahren, über die Staande-Mast-Route 🤔
Ja, aber nicht mit einem Tiefgang von 2,70 Metern. Da täuscht der Klappmast ein wenig aber wir haben ein Seeschiff und deshalb müssen wir über die Nordsee. Maximum auf der Staande-Mast-Route ist 1,90 Meter als fast ein Meter zu wenig.
OK, das ist ein Wort 😊. Mit 2,7 m Tiefgang hatte ich nicht gerechnet. Da müsst Ihr ja schon im Ijsselmeer ordentlich aufpassen.
Guys can I suggest you put your wish list in English also. Bit hard to read here in Australia
Next to the search window you can switch the language to English. We're working on it but haven't found a good solution.
Dear Barbara and Daniël,
It seems that professional demolition work is entirely written for Daniel 😀. It’s good to learn that the steel construction above the ship's hold ceiling is in good condition because that saves a lot of money. Willeke and I are very keen to learn how the rest will look like when all the demolition is over. We will cross our fingers that all the other compartments will show the same result and we hope that you can show in the next vlog how the interior is designed for realizing your dream tall ship. We wish you lots of success in the refit of Flying Coney and send you love.
Always lovely to read you comments! The saloon area is the last part of the hull with interior left. We hope that we can re-use the deck planks as interior flooring. But let's see, we don't know why it was layed over with metal... An interior tour where we explain what we want to do with each compartment is a good idea. But we still have to make a layout plan, until now it's all in my head. All the best and greetings to Willeke! ❤️
@@FlyingConey I'm guessing the original wood deck became too hard and expensive to maintain. Once a steel plate is welded and kept painted it's pretty much waterproof, and as long as the wood is structurally sound, there's no need for thicker steel or additional beams to support it between spans.
I think your assumption is correct and with the 7cm! thick wooden deck there's no need for insulation. The problem is that next to deck there were drainages and they had the great idea to fill them up with concrete. First of all it's heavy and second it's leaking at the wooden deck - concrete seam. There are even plants growing 🫣 Also there's a layer of roofing tar under the steel and above the wooden deck. I'm hoping that it's not containing asbestos but not sure.

What is that music please boat terminators???
Thankyou Babs and Dan.
At what minute is the music playing? I can look it up for you 😊
Can some of the wood be recycled?
Not much and not really. Maybe the wooden deck and also the cabin doors can be rescued. Also we maybe can do some repairs to the wheelhouse with what we have, we will see. But the majority of the wood is too far gone.
Ye might get a part time job in a dismantling shipyard lol
Where does all the rubbish go to, and how many truck loads have gone
Mark, New Zealand
To the dump yard and it was about three trailers towed by a car full of rubbish. The most difficult thing was to get everything off the boat and carry each and every piece 100 meters along that jetty.
Do you prefer metric or imperial multi tools?
Multi purpose I think. 😁
I'm surprised by your reasons to relocate your boat to Germany particularly healthcare and weather - In my limited experience they are about the same - can you explain more?
Sometimes we try to put too much information into one video and then we don't have enough time to explain the points enough. Healthcare is good in the Netherlands as long as you live here. We don't have an address here because it's not possible if you travel with a boat. Also they don't accept the European health insurance so if you want to see a doctor you have to pay in advance. It's not possible to see a specialist directly for an example if you gotten something in your eye and want to see an eye doctor. That's way easier in Germany. They accept the European health insurance and you can also make an address at a post box if you need one.
We wanted to book an apartment in Urk to get off the boat once we realized that it will be an extended stay on the hard the cheapest we could find was 600 a week. That would have been 9000€ for the shipyard time. In Germany a cheap apartment is 600 a month!
With the weather it's more about microclimate and Lelystad is particularly windy. The last 10 days it was mostly blowing with 20 knots or more and it's summer. Today I thought about turning on the heating because it was 15 degrees in the morning, again these are the hottest days in the year... Then it's raining half of the day everyday. Unfortunately it won't be different where the yard is but it's completely different at the Baltic Sea and after the shipyard time we want to move on.
Also the Germans do have good bread and for us it's way easier to arrange things, partly because of the language but mostly because of the different mentality.
The Netherlands are a great country to make holidays (but check the weather first) and for some to live here. But to live here as a foreigner not so much.
🙂
I know it is the right thing to do and it needs to be done but as I am watching this video my brain goes: 1,000.00$... 2,000.00$, 3,000.00$... LOL
I guess being a working vessel originally, there is no teak or precious wood to be saved.
Nice progress!
The trim and doors of the wheelhouse are probably teak and the 7cm! thick deck planks might be as well. Maybe it's possible to re- use them as flooring in the interior.
We have a reasonable thick hull, a valid CVO and a good working drive train. In other words a maneuverable casco. All the interior and the domestic equipment need to be build up from scratch. It's not reasonable to invest so much time and re- use rotten, molded, wet wood with insects living in it and probably also contaminated with asbestos to save some bucks. And yes it's that gross. Wood is expensive but not that expensive 😉
🤠👍
How does demolition of dis-used plumbing and wiring get the ship ready for a Nordsee passage?
It's not relevant for the passage but for the next shipyard time. This way we can start directly with the frame repairs once we are there. Relevant for the passage are the maintenance of the engine and hydraulics and that we buy the necessary equipment like life rafts.
@@FlyingConey right. I guess I missed some of the story. Perhaps you were waiting for those things, so you decided to do demolition?
I really enjoy this boat, BTW. I've got no experience with steel or riveted hull construction, so all of this is a bit of an adventure.
We also have do make the videos and believe me an office session with Barbara and me sitting in front of our laptops doesn't make a good video. I think the demolition video was nice to watch and believe me I'm glad for every rotten smelly piece of wood that is out of the boat.
So you don’t want to stay in the Netherlands because of the weather so you move to Germany which is right next to the Netherlands with the exact same weather! 😂
Interestingly it's not. Especially when we make it into the Baltic Sea. It's all about microclimate and the harbor we are in is not really protected against wind. In the last 10 days it was raining at least once every day and at least 15-20 knots of wind for most of the day. I know how it sounds but this weather here is really driving me crazy, never have experienced something similar before. And it's also because of the food in the supermarkets, the price level, how difficult it is to set up a company, the language, how difficult it is to arrange things.... But we are not the only ones complaining about that.
Use those muzzzzels…
Also boat terminators why do you not get volunteer help
surely you get offers from people...or do you jyst like doing it youselves.
Actually the next weeks we will work together with volunteers. We just arrived in the Netherlands on Monday after a drive of 1500km, so the week was quite challenging, with filming a complete episode and making some progress on Flying Coney. All the best!
You have to put your brain in gear......undo fittings first before removing an d demolishing.
I'm having a look with the hammer and the crowbar. If it's not falling apart while looking at it I figure out how many fittings I have to remove until it does.
Brute strength and ignorance is always a better substitute than... Intelligence and education 😁! Ha
Use it up, wear it out. Make do or do with out! Dbl ha
True wisdom is to know when you need your brain or your muscles or both. Or your feet to run away 😉
OMG 😳. RIPPING out wiring Willy nilly. I’m not there but what I see. Oh my.
Hot Dang! Being called "competent" by Germans... they must be really good :|
Austrians! Small but important difference. 😂 But the shipyard is great and thanks for your comment 👍
can not understand you when you try to talk through your mask.
Then use the captions.
I watch all your episodes, but still can't understand why you bought this ship. The ship doesn't look like much on the inside, there is nothing authentic about this ship, nothing rustic from the past, just the cheapest plywood, amateurishly put together interior by those Amsterdam hippies! I understand that you also wanted a large sailing ship with character, but this ship you bought is just a steel hull that was also full of holes. The superstructure sucks, no rigging, the millions that this ship will cost to make it sailable are absurd. There are so many beautiful authentic sailing ships for sale in the Netherlands, France, Croatia, with work on, but not comparable to this steel monstrosity. I find it hard to understand that you haven't found anything better than this. If you didn't find what you were looking for, sooner or later you'll come across something you really like and is a viable renovation. In my opinion, you bought this ship way too quickly and thoughtlessly, simply because you couldn't find anything else at the time. I probably sound very negative, but I am sorry and painful to see you put so much work and money into this bottomless pit. As a person, I find you both very admirable and very nice, sweet people, which makes it extra difficult to watch this drama!
First of all I think you overestimate the costs. For us it was clear from the beginning that we won't reusing the interior. We've paid what a steel boat with a CVO and a usable engine is worth and not more. If you like the vessel or not is up to you, I really love the lines, her hull shape looks promising and for ME the past as a warship, trawler and sailing ship is interesting enough.
Actually we both enjoy working on the ship and making progress. Little by little she's becoming our dream ship. The process is fun! the shipyard time was hard and maybe that's why you think about the episodes as drama.
Love this project! You two are awesome! Any drawings of what the new interior layout? I’m trying to visualize the new layout.
I try to give you an idea: The forcastle is planned to be a sleeping area for 12 people including two heads, in the former fish room there's a vip cabin planned as well as a galley, a seating area and a bathroom extending into the engine room. Main entrance and navigating area will still be the wheelhouse also with a day head and after the quarter deck had been lowered underneath it will be a captains cabin.
