That must be quite gratifying, to hear the inspector’s recognition of the incredible amount of work you have done AND his acknowledgement that you have done the work correctly, Flying Coney is worth the work, and if she could talk, she would thank you.
Jurgen just loves these old boats and does know that there isn't endless time to preserve them. A surveyor like him really makes a difference and he was and is a big help!
We just played around in photoshop with a rig plan from a similar boat and I've to say Flying Coney looks absolutely stunning as a sailing ship. Much better than even we've imagined it. Can't wait to show it to you once it's finished.
"We have a lot of people telling us we need to do sand blasting... it is not necessary to mention it in every videos..." LOL!!!!! .... Noooooooo. It is never a good time to finish your videos, never. I always hope they would last "just one more minute, please". Haha. It must have been sooooo good to hear the surveyor say "the demolition phase is over and the refit can start" Yeaaahhh! Great one again!
Actually we were half way through the port waterline at the survey day. That's why Daniels face is so dirty. Well, the mentioning of sandblasting continues until learning improves. Honestly, blasting and repainting are one of the biggest necessary steps in the entire refit. Choosing a blasting method, the right coating system, the right color. Can we do it before laying down a new deck. Should we blast inside and outside on the same day. Since we're planning the next shipyard time we're thinking about all that quite often. And, it's a running gag 😂
The inspector said it. You guys are very impressive with what you’ve done especially since I think you did not have all that much experience in boat restoration/renovation. Very impressive.
I have enjoyed all your videos with your journey. My partner and I bought a 60 year 0ld Dutch North Sea beam trawler that had been converted for pleasure vessel. It had been sitting in a harbour being neglected of essential maintenance for many years and the previous owner had basically made it unfit for sea as he was turning it into a residential apartment. That was 6 years ago, we bought a rusting steel trawler that was floating and livable. Needless to say we have had a similar journey to yourselves and when we finally saved up enough money to have our ship out of the water, I made it sea worthy and sailed it to a floating dock. We had discussed sand blasting as this was a concept I had experienced decades ago and understood, but the dock owner assured me it was much better to hydro blast as it would acheive the same result with far less mess and waste (also considerably cheaper). Much easier to clean up the residue and put into recycle waste stream. I trusted him. He was right. We also trusted him to spray the five coats of two pack paints. Then the tie coat to allow the antifoul paint to adhere. That was one year ago. We also had our hull surveyed and had a few puddle welds done. Much other welding of Gunwhale stantions, some deck plating and other sundry welding was undertaken. This last two weeks we invested in upgrading our electrics to have two solar arrays and completely stripped out the old charger, inverter and associated wiring for completely new Victron system professionally installed. We hope this will get us off marina electric (horredously expensive) so that once we have paid for it, we will be saving money by generating our own power 24/7. We are not finished with getting the ship fit for our adventures yet, but we hope to be ready in one or two years. It is not easy doing a project like this with just two regular salaries coming in. Keep producing your journey videos, it proves we are not the only mad ones who love the challenge of old steel vessels 🙂
I’m so happy for you guys what a compliment from the surveyor! I guess concrete and frame’s next year! Thank you for the fun content! Enjoy your summer!
Only that next year already is this year 😉 The plan is to get the structural repairs, the blasting and the renewing of the CVO done before the winter. After that the plan is to alter the superstructure and lay down a new wooden deck.
Every great journey will have periods of struggle and hardwork , you've certainly shown that you are both up to the task . So glab you had a positive survey that's a game changer ...you have a vision and motivation . Your ship looks better every video .
Soon the paint will be on and that really made a difference. We're also planning a tour how Flying Coney looks now. Is that something you would be interested in?
I've come to love Flying Coney.. I can't wait to see her in the future when the repairs are completed. I'm sure that will happen in time. Thanks for sharing your adventures and hard work with all of us here on TH-cam. Mark in Colorado USA
Hi Mark, yes the upcoming two big projects will be quite interesting and we can't wait to tackle them. One is to get the structural repairs done but the second is to lay down a new wooden deck and that is including the alteration in the superstructures. So Flying Coney will get to her final appearance and it's a huge step towards a sailing ship.
Incredible couple. Incredible work ethic. Incredible boat! Once you launch her I hope you can find a little time to spoil each other for a couple of days. You have earned it! 😊
Your hard work is paying off. Great report from your surveyor. Also, you do such a professional video production which is itself a considerable amount of work. It is appreciated. It will be wonderful to see Flying Coney back in the water.
When you look back at what "Flying Coney" looked like , to how she looks now, it's almost like a different vessel. The work you have done is awesome. Soon you will be out chasing the waves, having yourselves, and your guests a fantastic time.
You know that with guest we mean viewers and patrons? We hope that TH-cam will give us the freedom to go on our own adventures and take the people aboard that made it possible. Running the ship as a business is only plan B.
Its so nice to see the expert happy with the results of all the work. At least you can take your time and get the frame ends prepared ready to fix later. Hydro blasting sounds a good option, it might be worth getting quotes for that and sand blasting to get an idea how much its going to cost (later) great update 2x👍
Thanks Allan, when we were back at the hard we wanted to get a quote on sandblasting and Jan spoke for us with a company. But this company refused to do it because of the risk of potentially damaging the hull. Since hydrojet blasting (It's similar to water jet cutting) only uses water and no extra material, well I actually don't think it's more expensive than sandblasting. But it's not only about the blasting itself, we also need a closed dry dock or a shed to put a two component paint on. Maybe we want to go down the copper coat route, that's also expensive. So a lot of things to consider.
@@FlyingConey Thats a surprise they wouldn't do a quote, at least you are not paying yard fees and have the time to plan the next move. Copper would be nice but as you say its expensive and only going up in cost currently. Congratulations to you both for getting the old lady back in the water.
The people in Urk know each other very well and are proud about their craftsmanship and about their fishing heritage. So if Jan asks the sandblasting guy he's not just asking a random bloke. They do honest toil and they don't do something just for the money. But that doesn't mean it's impossible to sandblast just that this one company prefers not to because of the rivets. An other company maybe knows a way to do it.
I think what you surveyor said was complementary to you with all the work you have done so far and I glad he said that your dreams and dedication to flying cloney can come true a lot of work but it can be done so well done to you both and the lads at the yard 😊😊😊
Hi Kevin, Flying Coney was indeed difficult to survey and the work we had to put into her was pretty much worst case scenario. Seeing that we are on the right track to bring the ship back to life made Jurgen happy 😌 After all he does this job because he loves ships and especially old and historic ones.
YES, you both did a lot of work and serious tearing down.Nice to see the upward swing on the rebuild.....Get some rest-enjoy completing your plans and she will love to get wet again! Cheers! Rich
Hi Rich, it will take at least until the end of this year until we're done with all the structural repairs. But once that is achieved we finally can make progress in our own speed and not in huge steps. But I really can't wait to start to build up and get to the fun part of the project.
@@FlyingConey Of course! Keep your nose over your toes and all steps will be done. It is important that you grow with the ship, as when out in the open seas you will be one with her. She will keep you safe and you can enjoy the life she then gives you.
It really needed that shipyard time to grow into the project and get familiar with the dimensions of the ship. Surprisingly even the handling skills have improved a lot by simply watching the fishermen how they handle the ships. Soon we'll be moving Flying Coney to be hauled out again. Can't wait for moving day. (And we try to close the gap in between video time and real time)
I knew it ,I knew it , I knew it .Yes sir i did😂.All the worry and stress and all of the hard work and planning has payed off in a big way .I could see it in his eye's your inspector has respect for both of you and he knows Flying Coney is happy with you and all you have done so far for her .The type of hi pressure water blasting sounds like the perfect why to go . I like the way you let the inspector explain about the rib's and the how and why you could go about doing the repairs .this was a nice time i spent with you today so many good things going on ,and a hint of what is coming for the future .I must go now .my life has become very busy as of late because of a lady I think I'm going to miss these times of having nothing i Have to do .but that's ok work hard most of your life goof off for a few years and start a whole new adventure .to see if dreams and wishes realty do come true 🙂.
this is great to see that you are doing so well ,there are always many people that have opinions on how to do everything ,I think they mean well but every job has to be tackled in a way that suits the situation, I think you are doing it correctly . after all this is also your home so you have the best of both worlds but only one to maintain . keep Jurgen handy i am sure he can direct you on many things I know you have to pay for his expertise but it is well worth it as with his knowledge you will be able to get the right information and do the job once .
You have indeed delivered an achievement. I was honestly thinking what bigins you guys on! but now i see it will work. I would like to give another tip, buy a good mig welding machine and start welding yourself. It's easy to learn. It's really not that hard and you save a lot of money.
When you first pulled Coney up on the hard I thought WOW, there is no way you can pull this off. Congratulations on a job well done. I have brought a few things back to use after thinking they were finished, you get a huge feeling of satisfaction after. You two must just be glowing. Now the fun begins, putting it all back together. Can't wait to see it.
Can't wait to put the things together, luckily we've filmed everything so that we know how it all was 🤣It took us some time to shake off the fatigue and honestly it took almost until now. But through the videos we see what and how much we had achieved during this "intense" months on the hard. Now we know why it's called "on the HARD".
Well, sounds like the hull is up for the task. Cant wait to see it painted and launched. I am very interested to see what kind of sail and mast configuration you will get for the ship. Greetings, Jeff
Hydro blasting indeed! It is the preferred method of most large commercial shipyards for hull jobs, and results are very good (commercial grade). Enjoy being back on the water, you deserve it!
Hi Lionel, the reason why we absolutely want to blast the hull is because there's no interior left. It will never be that easy again. As Jurgen said it's the best surveyor there is and after this last step there shouldn't be any surprises left. Still a lot of decisions to be made and I hope you follow along.
@@FlyingConey I absolutely will continue to follow along! Have a passion for ships and for refit (part of my job actually), so I’m dying to see how you’ll transform her in and out! Take care of yourselves, these projects and perspectives can consume you!… See you next week 🤞
6:14 - Well now we're just going to have to mention sandblasting on each and every video, it has just become absolutely necessary! :) Seriously though, great work!
WOW Im surprised that all that was done in 4 weeks. Great job. At that rate it should be completely brand new in say 2 months. Al jokes aside a big pat on the back to both of you
Congrats on the good report from the Ship Yard. That's awesome looks like you're headed in the right direction and you've been given a praise worthy report on all your hard work, which is awesome as well.. congrats again..
Thank you! For us it wasn't easy to get into work mode and to get familiar with the dimensions of the boat. It really needed that time but now we've the feeling that we can handle the boat and the project.
Well done. It's good to hear from the surveyor that you have crested the mountain. Perhaps a bit of a mountain range to go but the news is good to hear.
I think we've managed the crux and from now on we can climb the mountain in our own speed. Although it's a big challenge it's worth it and we enjoy doing what we're doing. I hope you also tune in next time Stephanie 😊 All the best!
Das freut uns sehr und für Zuschauer wie dich macht es auch Spaß die ganze Zeit in die Videos zu stecken. Die Doppelbelastung ist nicht immer leicht aber solange man weiß, dass die Arbeit wertgeschätzt wird macht man es gerne. Bis zum nächsten Video 😉
@@FlyingConey Du wirkst vor der Kamera sehr souverän und professionell, dein Englisch ist ebenfalls hervorragend. Wie ich die Löcher im Rumpf sah, sah ich schwarz für euer Projekt. Umso mehr freute es mich für euch, dass es weitergeht. Ich habe mal ein kleines Motorboot wieder neu aufgebaut, das war schon viel Arbeit. Abo habt ihr längst, freue mich auf die nä. Videos. Machts gut :)
when you worked around the entire boat to remove everything from the hull to remove the insulation and found you mentioned in time you're going to have to replace some of the ribs will you be leaving that area exposed? or will you finish the area IE guest room, head, storage, and then when you have the time to fix the ribs move everything from the side of the hull? you two are doing one hell of a job.
One of the next steps is to remove everything that's left inside the hull. Next step is to get the concrete from in between the frames out repair everything that needs to be repaired. Last step is to get the hull somehow blasted from the inside and get a new layer of paint on. After all that is done we need to get new insulation and paneling.
Thank you, we've learned so much during this few months in the shipyard. I do believe from now on it will be easier and more fun. Hope you've enjoyed the video!
You obviously have been blessed with a surveyor who knows what hes talking about. Flying Coney can have some bad frames and be perfectly fine and safe because she's not doing what she was built for. She was built to carry alot of people and cargo. With just a few people aboard and no cargo shes more than strong enough for now
@@FlyingConey I'm a guy that enjoys working with my hands - I would love to be involved in something like this but I'm not in the financial position to do so. That said, there's a huge feeling of satisfaction when you look back at your work and it's done nicely. I for one can't wait to see your project once it's complete. I like your idea with flying Coney. Know that you have a fan from Cape Town South Africa. Thanx for the videos which I really look forward to seeing.
I would like to know if she will weigh less after the work, you guys have done. I think the work and video are great, I thank you for sharing your experiences, throughs and journey. Over all I have enjoyed going along.
Quite a lot, she's floating at least 10cm higher now. After the concrete in between the frames is removed we want to bolt on steel bars on the keel instead of putting internal ballast back. Since the leaver is higher we can maybe safe a few tons.
Good idea to go for more weight in the keel! Consult an naval architect though, have him check the structural aspect of such a modification on such an old vessel.
I think my favourite bit is that you guys do your whole channel in English which is not your natural language. Even better is the fact that all the experts and workers use English as well!!! Love you guys...😊
We want to sail all over the world and with people from all over the world. Sailing always had connected people and we always wanted to honor that tradition. I love to listen to books about the age of sail and find it fascinating how many nationalities sailed a ship together. Another example are shanties that sometimes include a mix of different languages. Rolling home, rolling home across the sea. Rolling home to di old Hamburg, rolling home min Deern to di
It wasn't easy and it was last minute to rescue the boat. Now we have a good sound hull and soon we'll have the structure repaired. Then the fun part begins! Thanks for watching and following the journey.
It's a great option but without the "survey" factor of media or water jet blasting. Finding all the weak spots and repairing them will improve the safety of the hull. On the other hand the laser could be the perfect way to remove the bitumen like coating on the inside. BUT a 2000 watt machine is 6650€ per week! Without an operator.

Your Vessel looks like an old.. "" BEAM TRAWLER ""... I've worked on one, it was built in 1928 all ribbit, the forward for peak ,was a crew quarter with crew quarters back aft below the wheelhouse, she had this engine twas a locomotive engine, she would burn 8 gallon an hr.she actually had a book with all the old crew members names and it read what they would leave to there relatives if the vessel were torpedoed and someone got killed as she was fishing off the "" Grand Banks "" off of Canada and New England USA, I just loved working on her, But there was one thing I did not like, if she were in force 10 with heavy seas, if the boat was broadside to huge waves, her whole port or starboard side was totally under the waves, she even had variable pitch props, too, My boss put 1 hundred thousand to make her beautiful and she was..well you guy's will have a proper boat for sure when Comey is finished.
He's a great surveyor, most surveyors I've seen are doom sayers, real downers, everything is too much of a job, too much work, or it's not worth the effort/money etc etc. refreshing to see a surveyor who is a bit more upbeat and positive
The CVO certification is a relatively new thing here in the Netherlands and the surveyors do know that owning and running a ship this size isn't easy for private persons. Ships like Flying Coney are part of the dutch heritage and we often talked with old fishermen who recognized the boat from back when she was fishing. Jurgen also loves these old ships and tries to help us to bring it back to live but also made sure that the vessel is safe.
Nevermind Darren, just keep watching and if you want to support us leave a 👍 to boost the algorithm. Maybe you have rich friends and you could tell them about us? 🤣
The whole story is that pet rabbits always played an important role in our lives. So we were a bit cheeky and sneeked it in with the older word "coney". Some even say the word has some bawdiness to it, what is very much appropriate for a ship. The "Flying" comes from our past in the foiling Nacra 17 class. And the name would look great on a bottle of rum. Are you from Ireland?
Your videos need to be much longer with more video and less talking. You have been making videos since the boat has been out of water which according to your videos that we’ve been watching has been 7 months or so. In todays video Jurgen mentioned that it has only been a month since you started your work. With that information it seems that you guys are really stretching out your content. I’ve been saying for months that you need to put more content into your videos. Now this is only my opinion and I’m really curious how others feel about this. PLEASE don’t take this message as me being nasty or a troll, I really like your channel, I love what you are doing I would just love to see more content during each video. Thank you and congratulations on passing your inspection. ❤❤
That must be quite gratifying, to hear the inspector’s recognition of the incredible amount of work you have done AND his acknowledgement that you have done the work correctly, Flying Coney is worth the work, and if she could talk, she would thank you.
it's good to hear that Jürgen is satisfied and proud and of what you have achieved and that Flying Coney has a future as a sailing boat
The old Lady will fly over the waves! 🌊
@@FlyingConey surely

Jurgen just loves these old boats and does know that there isn't endless time to preserve them. A surveyor like him really makes a difference and he was and is a big help!

Can't wait to put the things together, luckily we've filmed everything so that we know how it all was 🤣It took us some time to shake off the fatigue and honestly it took almost until now. But through the videos we see what and how much we had achieved during this "intense" months on the hard. Now we know why it's called "on the HARD".
HydroBlasting sounds good .... much cleaner and the flash rusting is great for phosphoric acid priming.
Well, sounds like the hull is up for the task.
Cant wait to see it painted and launched.
I am very interested to see what kind of sail and mast configuration you will get for the ship.
Greetings,
Jeff
Hydro blasting indeed!
It is the preferred method of most large commercial shipyards for hull jobs, and results are very good (commercial grade).
Enjoy being back on the water, you deserve it!
Hi Lionel, the reason why we absolutely want to blast the hull is because there's no interior left. It will never be that easy again. As Jurgen said it's the best surveyor there is and after this last step there shouldn't be any surprises left. Still a lot of decisions to be made and I hope you follow along.
@@FlyingConey I absolutely will continue to follow along! Have a passion for ships and for refit (part of my job actually), so I’m dying to see how you’ll transform her in and out!
Take care of yourselves, these projects and perspectives can consume you!…
See you next week 🤞
He was amazed! Well done!!!!
6:14 - Well now we're just going to have to mention sandblasting on each and every video, it has just become absolutely necessary! :) Seriously though, great work!
WOW Im surprised that all that was done in 4 weeks. Great job. At that rate it should be completely brand new in say 2 months. Al jokes aside a big pat on the back to both of you
Both of you are an inspiration, dedication and hard work is fulfilling and satisfying.
Thank you Dean, it's a pleasure to share the videos with viewers like you 😊
Happy for you guys. So glad to hear that you can move forward. 😎👍
I think you need to weld new frames and change the entire trim of the vessel.
Congrats on the good report from the Ship Yard. That's awesome looks like you're headed in the right direction and you've been given a praise worthy report on all your hard work, which is awesome as well.. congrats again..
Great work guys. Floating restoration is the way to go.😂😂😂
Yes great work guys, I look forward to seeing you one day in my home port Tauranga New Zealand.
Good news. Well done. You guys have worked so hard.
Thank you! For us it wasn't easy to get into work mode and to get familiar with the dimensions of the boat. It really needed that time but now we've the feeling that we can handle the boat and the project.
Don't forget to put sandblasting on your list. 😀Great work, you all should be proud.
heartfelt compliments to you!
Ja, das habt Ihr 2 wirklich gut gemacht 👍
Danke! Es geht langsam bergauf und Stück für Stück arbeiten wir den ganzen Wartungsstau ab.
Well done. It's good to hear from the surveyor that you have crested the mountain. Perhaps a bit of a mountain range to go but the news is good to hear.
I think we've managed the crux and from now on we can climb the mountain in our own speed. Although it's a big challenge it's worth it and we enjoy doing what we're doing. I hope you also tune in next time Stephanie 😊 All the best!
its going to get harder but you bring a great deal of pleasure by us watching your progress. wish you both well. good luck regards from the UK.
Hi Brian. Thanks for watching! 👍
Es macht einfach Freude, eure Videos anzusehen. Weiter so und viel Erfolg!
Das freut uns sehr und für Zuschauer wie dich macht es auch Spaß die ganze Zeit in die Videos zu stecken. Die Doppelbelastung ist nicht immer leicht aber solange man weiß, dass die Arbeit wertgeschätzt wird macht man es gerne. Bis zum nächsten Video 😉
@@FlyingConey Du wirkst vor der Kamera sehr souverän und professionell, dein Englisch ist ebenfalls hervorragend. Wie ich die Löcher im Rumpf sah, sah ich schwarz für euer Projekt. Umso mehr freute es mich für euch, dass es weitergeht. Ich habe mal ein kleines Motorboot wieder neu aufgebaut, das war schon viel Arbeit. Abo habt ihr längst, freue mich auf die nä. Videos. Machts gut :)
Congratulations on your hard work!
You two will do it.
Glückwunsch zum Erfolg dieser wichtigen Etappe!
Gut gemacht, Respekt ! ! Nur weiter so. 😊
Jö. Sand blast.
Only if we get a few more Jös 🤣🤣🤣
Not sand but hydroblast .
You could always offer people the chance to come aboard for a trip and they give a contribution to restoration of flying coney. Perhaps setup a LLC
Yeah Hydro Blasing the way to go and lot kinder on the Hull. Keep at it now.😎
Thanks, you think it's also a good method from the inside and would you hire it out or rent the equipment? All the best Daniel
keep up the great work
when you worked around the entire boat to remove everything from the hull to remove the insulation and found you mentioned in time you're going to have to replace some of the ribs will you be leaving that area exposed? or will you finish the area IE guest room, head, storage, and then when you have the time to fix the ribs move everything from the side of the hull?
you two are doing one hell of a job.
One of the next steps is to remove everything that's left inside the hull. Next step is to get the concrete from in between the frames out repair everything that needs to be repaired. Last step is to get the hull somehow blasted from the inside and get a new layer of paint on. After all that is done we need to get new insulation and paneling.
Amazing work guys, wishing you continued success.
Thank you, we've learned so much during this few months in the shipyard. I do believe from now on it will be easier and more fun. Hope you've enjoyed the video!
You obviously have been blessed with a surveyor who knows what hes talking about. Flying Coney can have some bad frames and be perfectly fine and safe because she's not doing what she was built for. She was built to carry alot of people and cargo. With just a few people aboard and no cargo shes more than strong enough for now
Awesome guys! Sounds very positive.
It really was an uplifting moment in the restoration and rewatching the footage is even more rewarding.
@@FlyingConey I'm a guy that enjoys working with my hands - I would love to be involved in something like this but I'm not in the financial position to do so. That said, there's a huge feeling of satisfaction when you look back at your work and it's done nicely. I for one can't wait to see your project once it's complete. I like your idea with flying Coney. Know that you have a fan from Cape Town South Africa. Thanx for the videos which I really look forward to seeing.
New introduction needed. Just saying. Love the story along for the ride 😊
I would like to know if she will weigh less after the work, you guys have done. I think the work and video are great, I thank you for sharing your experiences, throughs and journey. Over all I have enjoyed going along.
Quite a lot, she's floating at least 10cm higher now. After the concrete in between the frames is removed we want to bolt on steel bars on the keel instead of putting internal ballast back. Since the leaver is higher we can maybe safe a few tons.
Good idea to go for more weight in the keel! Consult an naval architect though, have him check the structural aspect of such a modification on such an old vessel.
I think my favourite bit is that you guys do your whole channel in English which is not your natural language. Even better is the fact that all the experts and workers use English as well!!! Love you guys...😊
We want to sail all over the world and with people from all over the world. Sailing always had connected people and we always wanted to honor that tradition. I love to listen to books about the age of sail and find it fascinating how many nationalities sailed a ship together. Another example are shanties that sometimes include a mix of different languages.
Rolling home, rolling home across the sea.
Rolling home to di old Hamburg, rolling home min Deern to di
Was the Surveyor report done recently when you splashed it
Pity you could not cut half of bottom Hull off put a new one on
Still looks like a lot of work but I must admit I never taught you would get this fare well done to you both
It wasn't easy and it was last minute to rescue the boat. Now we have a good sound hull and soon we'll have the structure repaired. Then the fun part begins! Thanks for watching and following the journey.
Hopefully your videos will get longer ❤
how do you think one of those laser beam rust removers would work on your boat?
It's a great option but without the "survey" factor of media or water jet blasting. Finding all the weak spots and repairing them will improve the safety of the hull. On the other hand the laser could be the perfect way to remove the bitumen like coating on the inside. BUT a 2000 watt machine is 6650€ per week! Without an operator.
👍
Is Flying Coney fully sea worthy right now or do you need to upgrade equipment for that?
😃

I'm still donating on Patreon, but noticed my name is no longer being shown... Are you still receiving it?
Just wondering - maybe changes were made that I'm not aware of...
No biggie, love the videos...
Hi Robert, we are still receiving your donations and tank you for your generosity! Tomorrow is an exclusive group chat on Discord and it would be great if you find the time to join.
We welcome every new Patreon in the videos and the name stays in the list for at least a month or for four videos. We think that's a good way to show how much we appreciate each and every Patreon. From the "Bosun" rank onwards the name is shown on the "Officers" board in each and every video.
Hope to see you tomorrow and I hope that explains it a bit.
Your Vessel looks like an old.. "" BEAM TRAWLER ""... I've worked on one, it was built in 1928 all ribbit, the forward for peak ,was a crew quarter with crew quarters back aft below the wheelhouse, she had this engine twas a locomotive engine, she would burn 8 gallon an hr.she actually had a book with all the old crew members names and it read what they would leave to there relatives if the vessel were torpedoed and someone got killed as she was fishing off the
"" Grand Banks "" off of Canada and New England USA, I just loved working on her, But there was one thing I did not like, if she were in force 10 with heavy seas, if the boat was broadside to huge waves, her whole port or starboard side was totally under the waves, she even had variable pitch props, too, My boss put 1 hundred thousand to make her beautiful and she was..well you guy's will have a proper boat for sure when Comey is finished.
He's a great surveyor, most surveyors I've seen are doom sayers, real downers, everything is too much of a job, too much work, or it's not worth the effort/money etc etc. refreshing to see a surveyor who is a bit more upbeat and positive
The CVO certification is a relatively new thing here in the Netherlands and the surveyors do know that owning and running a ship this size isn't easy for private persons. Ships like Flying Coney are part of the dutch heritage and we often talked with old fishermen who recognized the boat from back when she was fishing. Jurgen also loves these old ships and tries to help us to bring it back to live but also made sure that the vessel is safe.
Well done everyone involved . Unfortunately i am very poor, otherwise i would love to join the crew .
Nevermind Darren, just keep watching and if you want to support us leave a 👍 to boost the algorithm. Maybe you have rich friends and you could tell them about us? 🤣
💃🏼🎉HURRAY🎉🕺
All of your extremely hard work is paying off!
I so very happy for you both!
What a strange name ?
Coney is usually a rabbit, really funny!
But you never say rabbit on a boat! You get it now?
@@FlyingConey no or in France Lapin, never, it is surprising how seriously this is taken!
The Irish (Gailge) is coinín
Pronounced coneen
The whole story is that pet rabbits always played an important role in our lives. So we were a bit cheeky and sneeked it in with the older word "coney". Some even say the word has some bawdiness to it, what is very much appropriate for a ship. The "Flying" comes from our past in the foiling Nacra 17 class. And the name would look great on a bottle of rum. Are you from Ireland?
Your videos need to be much longer with more video and less talking. You have been making videos since the boat has been out of water which according to your videos that we’ve been watching has been 7 months or so. In todays video Jurgen mentioned that it has only been a month since you started your work. With that information it seems that you guys are really stretching out your content. I’ve been saying for months that you need to put more content into your videos. Now this is only my opinion and I’m really curious how others feel about this. PLEASE don’t take this message as me being nasty or a troll, I really like your channel, I love what you are doing I would just love to see more content during each video. Thank you and congratulations on passing your inspection. ❤❤
