    A big tanks to Anthony and Josje for telling us all the great stories and sharing their pictures with us. It's a great feeling that we're now a part of the great history of this magnificent sailing ship and it's a privilege that we are now responsible for her future. Thank you for following our journey!

      Unfortunately Josje wasn't feeling well this day because it would've been great to share her story as well. The run the boat as a couple the same way we do it now. It's interesting that we found this ship and that we now can bring her back to former glory!

      Meeting Anthony and Josje does make a huge difference in the further refit and it added a lot of value to the boat. We altered the rigging plan from a Tops'l Schooner to a Schooner Brig based on the stories Anthony told us. The similarities in what they've done and what we do now are quite hilarious. At least it can be done and let's find out together if we can do it 50 years later.

    That is really wonderful too et the history first hand from the people who made that history..!! What a beautiful story to compliment and encourage your story. Now you know that you are on course to make Flying Coney a sailing vessel once more. This is another fabulous episode, thanks for sharing with us.

    • @FlyingConey
      @FlyingConey  หลายเดือนก่อน

      We figured out relatively early that it's possible to restore the ship. It's steel so almost everything can be repaired. But we never knew how well she will sail and how much sail she can carry. Meeting Antony an Josje was very important and the stories add so much value. You're never the owner of a ship because you're only the caretaker for an episode of the ships life. It feels like they've handed us down this responsibility and we're proud that we're no in this position. We're hoping that one day we can hand the vessel over to the next generation.

      This stories explain why it's worth to restore an old ship. It's not about save money but you can't build a new ship with history. If you own a vessel for several decades a part of yourself is transferred into the ship and you always hope that it will survive many many more years. We're glad that we're now in charge and hopefully will enjoy many journeys together with many people sharing our passion.

    Well I came to your channel about a month ago and I have blitzed through all your videos. Years ago I restored a 7 ton wooden Cutter that was built in 1947 and enjoyed sailing her for several years. But now I Have swallowed the anchor and live in the prarries of Canada far from water. So now I spend my time watching sailing videos and folks restoring boats. I miss this but I am old now (74), but I do enjoy the videos. I will be sticking around for the long term.

    It must be so satisfying to be able to talk and learn about Flying Coney and her history from Anthony . I know i was .I could see his love for her as he talked about all the things he did and tried over the years .And all those pictures my o my they add so much to the story .And here you 2 are today doing the same as he did so long ago , the same dreams the same ideas .The fates must have been saving her for you .there is one thing my mind that won't go away ,and that is the bow sprit she needs it back . I know you had to do what you did and i am thinking there must be some way to satisfy both needs .There are a few tall ships here and i was thinking of going to them and asking about a few ideas i have to see what they think of them 'Anyway it was so good to see you again and am looking forward to what is coming on this next haul out .Until then safe journeys and fair weather my friends.

      @FlyingConey  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      We've been on boat search for two years and all this time Flying Coney waited for us. Initially weren't really interested because with 82ft it was simply to big for us. But I'm glad we've bought her anyway. The meeting with Anthony and Josje felt like they were handing us over the responsibility and I guess they know that their ship is in good hands now. Regarding the bow sprit, of course we will add one. A true sailing ship does need one and we want to rebuild her as a Schooner Brig. A little bit more traditional compared to the previous layout but overall very similar and also with square sails. The length over spars will be roughly 105ft. Looking forward to share the upcoming shipyard time with you!

    At 3:47 I saw a ship I sailed in 1982/83, Hr.Ms.Woerden M820. A Dutch former minesweeper refitted as a diving vessel. Had great adventures on that ship, can tell many stories 😂
    I have also been a volunteer on Stedemaeght for several years, a 3-mast Barque sailing IJssel- and Markermeer. And also sailed Azores-A'dam in 2013 and same ship (40 footer) and crew the CAMR in '22.

      Aboard Flying Coney we do have many parts that came from this type of minesweepers. One of our hatches even says "SWEEP GEAR STORE RM". It took us a while to figure out why the watertight doors are manufactured in Brooklyn New York. Also our capstans to handle the sails are from the dutch navy but I don't know their original purpose.

    very nice to find out and share about the history of your vessel : 47 years ago ,I worked on the repair of a tall ship ,enjoying climbing the tall masts, being of athletic build ,but I should share following : Even though ,I lived an adventurous life without health insurance and still do ,you might get in real trouble as owners ,if an accident occurs to your crew ,or guests . It might be worthwhile to check with insurances beforehand ,concerning as well the handling of what kind of a rig . Another unusual point: As you know , toilets were in the past ,mainly direct drop (toilets) holes and crew mainly males ,peeing over board was the norm .Over time ,you will have many females as guest and crew on board and maintenance of nowadays common toilets takes water and work and even on watch ,especially females, have to go down to the bathroom . interesting question: could you create a safe ,and discrete direct drop toilet hole for offshore use on deck ?

    • @FlyingConey
      @FlyingConey  หลายเดือนก่อน

      We appreciate your concerns regarding the safety aboard. Let me assure you that we give this topic a lot of thought and it's very important for us that people will enjoy sailing with us and don't get hurt. We will operate the boat as a pleasure craft and people sailing with us will be part of the crew. Everyone gets a detailed safety instruction and will learn how to safely handle the ship and the rig. This learning experience differentiate us from a commercial sailing ship with paying guests. Nowadays it's usual to only use the normal toilets underway. Underway nobody is allowed to pee overboard and also our male crew needs to sit down while doing business. We do have a very modern wastewater treatment system to minimize ecological pollution.

      It's the absolute proof of concept. Our boat can be a sailing ship because she already was one. Also seeing that Anthony and Josje managed the maintenance and the modifications as a couple is a huge boost in motivation. At least it can be done and they didn't had a billionaires budget either.

    • @FlyingConey
      @FlyingConey  หลายเดือนก่อน

      We are regular viewers. Flying Coney is based on a trawler and Tigershark is based on a tug but both ships were converted into sailing ships in 1977. I think the owners of both ships knew each other very well. Fortunately Tigershark only needs a refresh and let's face it, we are a full blown rebuild. Optimistically speaking we're three years behind.

      @FlyingConey  หลายเดือนก่อน

      The ship had a Kromhout F240 with three cylinders installed. Quite a nice engine and a part of me wishes that this engine would be still in the engine room. On the other hand our little DAF only uses half the fuel and it's even a bit stronger and far less maintenance. The original De Industrie was a real best of an engine with 130 liters displacement with only four cylinders. Still not as strong as the DAF.

      First of all this channel is about how it is to own a ship it's not only about the rebuilt. I know that the sailing ship conversion is a very interesting aspect of it and the next few months on this channel will be focused on our next shipyard time with a lot of visual progress. Also what made you think we've done no work in the past year? Many tasks are quite boring and repetitive. It might be interesting to see one coat of varnish but what about the other seven coats? Let alone the endless cleaning task. Our goal is to make the most interesting videos possible and I think the interview with Anthony is well worth watching for each and everyone who is slightly interested in what we're doing.

      That's kind of a problem when music taste doesn't match up. Personally I love banjo music. I'm a big fan of the Dubliners and Barney McKenna. so it could very well be that there's a bit more banjo content on this channel than usually. But overall we try to orientate our music choice on the Tally Ho project. What we will probably do is to put a bit more original sound in the upcoming shipyard videos. Also music is often a solution to cover up annoying wind noice due to our very windy harbour.
