    As a Danish merchant sailor for many years. i know that when working with Dutch people. you are working with some really industriel folks. always pro's, and they know what they are doing.
    By the way that was some really good boatmanship going thru that channel. I know how hard it is without bow thrusters. and a bit of wind and shallow water. it makes even the best skipper's pucker up.
    And thanks for all the good videos. i just found your channel. so i binge watched it all in one go. I think it's a fantastic life project your are into. Every day spent at sea. will never count against you in the end. So i hope that it all goes well for Flying Cony. and she becomes a proud ship with wings again.
    All the best. and ill keep watching with great interest. 😉

    Thanks for chronicling the harsh side of large vessel piloting. It provided flashbacks to my time as a boatswainmate in the coast guard; there were many times where fenders were my best friend.

      Flying Coney is probably not the easiest boat to start with. But I really enjoy doing it and I see it as a challenge. It's great to learn something new. The small things make a huge difference, like where you place the fenders and have a spare one ready at hand. I found that the key is to go as slowly as possible to give your own brain and the crew enough time to react in the best way possible.

    Can relate to the moment when they threw the radio on board! Last thing you want to hear is a 'bang' at that moment!! Looked stressful, but all worth it - boat looks ok but definitely needed to come out for a good clean up.

    I would have this checked: Propeller shaft seals (stuffing box), inlet boxes for engine cooling, all in / outboard valves; seals and clearances on the rudder-stock; bottom rudder pivot bearing ("taats"); hull condition on the water/wind line; coolant pipes under the hull; engine mounts; reverse-clutch mounts; check bulwark ports for properly opening. Check propeller for damage and pitting.
    Some zinc anodes seem unaffected, that means they are wrongly located. consider placing them somewhere else on the hull, check with yard staff.
    Do you know what anti fouling system is used now? Don't change to another system, continue with the old one, just put on a new layer.
    Check hull for bad rivets and weld them as required. Tip: do the pressure washing yourself, you'll see more!
    Have your life raft checked.
    If the ship keeps tilting, even with empty tanks, check for proper ballasting.
    And while the ship is out of the water, draw a sketch with the location of all underwater components, measure the draught front and aft as well as midship. Measure the height of the keel. Also locate the main frame and try to measure the tilt of the hull plating there, measured outward from the bottom of the keel, as well as possible bilge keels, it makes future docking easier.

    @ingomennenga5291 2 года назад +1

    From my own experience: In many situations lines, fenders and motor can provide support similar to that of a bow thruster. What I really liked during the whole maneuver was your calmness, driving as slowly as possible to have time to react and the composure despite the failed attempts.

    Think about it "Sailing Yaba" has be totally rebuilding their wooden ship for over a year I started watching them day one. Now they have 75K followers. I watched Duca and Roberta start Odd (Odd life crafting, 239k followers) and work on that for 2 years. So I would say to you if it needs fixing, replacing, rebuilding, painting or protecting or upgrading do it all now. And the viewers will just tag along growing with you as you go. Mostly because everyone loves the idea of refurbishing a old boat or ship but understand they would never undertake such a project! But will watch you do it. I got hooked watching these channels when Leo bought Tally Ho for a dollar and then proceeded to totally rebuild this wooden ship. Sampson Boat Company, I have watched for 5 years also from day one and has 420k followers. You guys are now added to my list...

Although not quite as large as your vessel we are still 65 tons squeezing past expensive plastic. At least you had still water and wind. Love watching your adventures. Brenton

  • @robertrousseau6920
    @robertrousseau6920 2 года назад

    As an retired yacht carpenter, who lived on his 65k old fiberglass boat, you need to first of all get the boats bottom to the waterline power washed and if neededsandblasted, then coats of epoxy then new bottom paints and the hull to the waterline, fill and fair, primer, then finish coats of hull paint! New zincs, and any below the waterline repair needed also a professional check of rudder and all underwater fittings (depth sounder replacement on hull)all underwater thru hull fittings etc!

You must have been physically and emotionally exhausted! Glad those guys at the boatyard were finally able to get the ship out. I didn't think the bottom of the boat looked all that bad considering how long its been in the water. Good luck with your week of non-stop work. I hope you get everything accomplished that was on your list! (And hope getting out of the boatyard isn't as tricky as getting into it was!)

    As mentioned before, the hull is almost never looking bad from the outside. Rust is almost every time coming from tbe inside. Hammering the hull first to listen for bad spots, then ultrasounding these spots for thicknes. That is the usual way. And you will find bad spots for sure, thats normal for a ship of tnis age. Reparing is not that difficult, but you need more yard time than one week. Its hard work, but worth it. Succes.

    Nothing beats living on the water. It is wonderful lifestyle, full of great people.
    To repeat. I assume you will use ultrasound to check the plate thickness whilst she is out of the water.
    It looked like a lot of shellfish growth around the heat-exchanger tubes. These need to be cleaned of growth all around to aid cooling.
    You may be underestimating the size of the job. Lots of energy bars required

    Steel boats rust from inside out. At least from the outside it does not looks too bad, but for one week definitely it is tough to prepare and repaint the hull. Still, it is (or was) the perfect time to hammer all the possibly weak spots, to find out any significant issues while the boat is on hard. Good luck!

And while I am always a bit nervous when the boat is lifted out of the water, it has always been done smoothly and in a professional way.

    The hull looks better on the outside than inside. It would be interesting to know the hull thicknesses. She's an old girl but they don't make steel like that nowadays. Great progress so far. Try to find a bowtruster while in the yard even a used one if you can; ask the locals.
    Best wishes.

    Well for starters you need self communicators for you and your wife. Next get all modern radio radar equipment Then find out why balance is out check for all water leaks heavy sanding will be needed then tap then Tap the hull with a very small metal hammer. Listen to the sound to see how much metal is there or if needs welding as most older boats will need some welding and rust removing. As steel hull will need special paint especially under coat. Make sure rudder is clean and moves easily and correctly then clean the propeller look for all Zinc parts and replace them to help stop[ corrosion while doing that check bearings and any movement of the Propeller shaft and check its seals. The boat needs a lot doing to it.

    As a sailing enthusiast who grew up in the outback, I never imagined that a sailboat could be made this long, and the hull was still made of heavy steel!

  • @imagineering3dstl394
    @imagineering3dstl394 2 года назад +2

    Much better dead slow gave you plenty of time to advance onto a change of helm and engine. The anodes might benefit from neoprene back pads and very impressed you mostly crept dead slow and with a deep hull, you can grip against bow wind sheer better than most. The rudder appears to have good authority at low speeds. A good ship and has good handling. As for her bottom - well perhaps a couple of thickness tests here and there especially outside of the chain lockers and above the water line and wherever most of the rust is revealed on the inside of the hull needs outside thickness readings. Is normal practice if you haven't got an up-to-date survey report that is true and accurate. Congratulations on slow and gentle maneuvering - that is how to do it.

    The hull looked quite OK below the waterline. I assume you will use ultrasound to check the plate thickness whilst she is out of the water. Long term, if it were my boat I would definitely keep that aft cabin which I think suits the boat, gives lots of useful space and wonderful views. It will be beautiful to have your living quarters in there and to be able to look out safely from there during an Atlantic crossing. I assume you will rarely go into marinas so the ability to have deck access lower down does not seem to be a priority to me

      Yes, those people are crazy. You are far too polite. They suck. And they know it.
      And looks are deceiving. You must poke scew drivers into that hull. Not just ultrasound fake images. Don't you know such things? Ultrasound is for solid wood, if you doubt the wood, you need to watch better. Use a pocket knife!

    • @FlyingConey
      @FlyingConey  2 года назад +1

      You know we have a steel boat? Your comment makes absolutely no sense for steel. You think we have a wooden boat? We have somewhere in between 5-8mm steel sometimes the plates are overlapping. With a screw driver or a pocket knife you scratch a little bit of paint. Take a crow bar or a 3kg hammer.

    Hello you two I have been waiting for this moment with great anticipation .now we can see how nice it is to have a steel boat moored in fresh water .her bottom side looks very good at first glance .I am more hopeful now that i have seen her bottom .Am i correct in thinking that her list to port is from an off weigh balance of internal superstructure ? I did get a chuckle when the yard said you could use your bow thruster to turn the boat ,And the pause when you told them you did not have one .I think you scored some points in your ability to handle the boat as well as you did. We need to find you a school or restoration of old sailing vessels and see about having them make you some old school rope bumpers .They would look awesome and work very well on her sides .good luck this week and I pray the weather holds for you .

    • @FlyingConey
      @FlyingConey  2 года назад +1

      The list to port is kind of a miracle. The boat is almost empty so no fuel and since the water tank was leaking not much water. Also one tone of water on port didn't had much impact. But there are more tanks on port than on starboard so filling them could only increase the listing. On the other hand it's not much, it was noticeable but nothing more than that. But even the these 1-2 degrees made it very hard to get her properly on the cart. We rally do not know about why the boat had her last conversion. Probably the sailing ship guys run out of money and she had fallen into disrepair. So one explanation could be that internal lead trim ballast was removed. Or they always trimmed with fuel and only filled up the port 4000 liter if they needed to.

The Fling Coney has lived a vast and interesting life to say the least .when i saw her out of the water I could not help but stare ,she has beautiful lines .I can also se without proper ballasting she will be a real hand full in weather .but that's for a future project right ?.Besides I've never seen or met some one or thing that was a little off center that I didn't like .I know you 2 are very busy right now so i will say good buy for now .I know your in good hands there and you will pester them with all kinds of questions .I am looking forward to what you find and do while there .till then .

      You have a lovely wooden project of your own! Feel free to drop by with a beer 🍻😉 Best in between 18h and 20h. Just knock at the hull with something. The anodes were a little bit of a surprise. Jan had nothing to do and one hour later the old ones were gone and the new ones in place.

    The hull is not bad, have seen a lot worse in my time. It will be an amazing transformation with paint!! Good luck!!

    from the outside it is not bad at all. most rust is inside. that is normally like that. 1 week are 5 working days........ strong tasks ...... good luck

    Great episode, considering the age of her, the hull looks good, good luck from the UK

      Wait until you see her pressure washed 😉 But nothing what can't be repaired but I have to admit it was quite an adventure to get her back into the water. Thank you for the comment Graham!

    The listing to Port side is a big problem that needs solving, and the rust usually comes from within. I hope you have it surveyed with sonar and or an old shipwright with a ball pean hammer. That'll may end up giving you a live aboard boat that doesn't get moved around much and is held together by the layers of paint. Good Luck.!!

    Your stomach must have been in knots driving up that narrow canal but you did it. Good job! The hull didn’t look so bad…

    If you have to do any hull repairs near the forefoot of the bow then weld in a tube for a bow thruster. Even if you don’t install the actual thruster. Just get the specs and have the tube welded in.

    The hull doesn't look that bad but a pressure wash might reveal some bad paint work. Sandblasting and new primer would then be a good yet expensive option. Next time I'm in Urk, I'll look out for your ship (selfie time 😄).

    So is a bow thruster in the cards?

    Not bad, some nasty bits, but reparable. You keep the cooling pipes I presume? (because a better cooling system will cost a lot of money), check also the pipe bends thoroughly. Nice hull by the way! Good lines.

    • @FlyingConey
      @FlyingConey  2 года назад

      The cooling pipes were installed in 2018 and are quite large. So they provide good cooling power. What's a better cooling system in your opinion?
