We finally untie the lines and leave the harbor! The maiden voyage of our historic trawler was a big adventure.
We had some engine problems and not everything worked out according to plan.
However we really enjoyed the first journey on our huge steel boat!
Flying Coney is an 82ft long historic steel ship. And we bring her back to live as the beautiful sailing ship she once was. When we are done with the refit we want to sail the ocean together with you and teach traditional sailing skills.

Wow Barb shot out the door like an Excocet well done. 😮😊 Glad it was nothing Serious. Great job Team. 😊
The joys and the thrills of moving a boat!
Good work all of you! A pleasure to see the old girl underway. Thank you for filming the chart, it makes it easier to understand where you are going. This is a great channel, keep up the good work.
We do our best to put an animated chart in the next video. This time we ran a bit out of time. Thanks for watching!
Flying Coney wasn't built with a bow or stern thruster, and whilst they would greatly assist manovering, they are not cheap to install.
Give Daniel all the credit!.
There are video's of him manovering the boat precisely in and away from the dock without one!
It will be good to keep track of temperatures and pressures as you get more familiar with the engine under load. Barbara is certainly up to that task. Great job Captain, Chief Engineer and crew 👍
I think the video shows how cautious we are and that we really try not to damage anything. After all it was just a bit of oil and residue forming a bit of smoke in the engine room. We constantly checked the temperature of the engine and we were a bit surprised how cold the water was that returned from the keel cooling. We just need to get familiar with Flying Coney. Thanks for your comment!
What an excellent seamanship, talking true every situation, making sure all the crew are on the same page. Well done! Good vibe onboard too. I will sail with you any time.
Good to have an infrared temp gun in your hand when you go in a boat engine room.
Good advice! Thanks.
It was good to discuss the procedure for docking with the crew. There are many issues for the crew to become familiar with. It is a great opportunity to test each other In maritime operations learning. Having fun while learning. Plenty of food and coffee. Cheers to you all!
Exactly. It's the whole purpose of the Flying Coney project to provide a learning platform and to teach skills. For example how to handle slightly larger docking lines or how to maneuver a boat without a bow thruster.
Fantastic to see Flying Coney on the move. Blessing to you all.
It was nice to see Barbara in a dress during her narration. Good luck on the beginning of your adventures. Shout out to the volunteers for all their expertise and hard work.
I love that dress too! It's quite hard to find dresses that fit her shape. It's important for us that Flying Coney is a learning platform and we did learn a lot from our volunteers. But when it comes to rope handling and maneuvering I'm sure they also learned quite a lot.
And so the adventure begins .I wish you fair weather my friends
As a note, you can never take a mooring in front of behind a lock. Those mooring places are only for boats waiting to use the lock. Good job asking the lock keeper for permission, however, the answer will always be no. Also it is always best to have breakfast before setting off. I tell my crew when we will depart in the morning, the coffee is fresh beforehand and it is their responsibility to eat or not. Bon voyages!
Well last time we waited for over two hours to be finally forwarded through. Always empty there and the commercial barges sometimes make fast for a few hours. Must be different regulations. There also was a reason why we left without the breakfast. It was forecasted that the wind picking up and getting out from the berth was a bit tricky. Not enough water underneath the keel and a stone wave breaker in case you mess it up.
In the Netherlands it's sometimes possible but it really depends. So in my experience (I sail on the bruine vloot) you should always assume a no and if you ask nicely you sometimes get a yes but usually you have to have a good reason for it.
Well done with the alarm and safe journey 😊😊
Not other rules... Most cases it is better to ask for forgiveness then to ask for permission:-)
You guys are definitely on the right track. It's a massive project, but what a beauty of a boat
Step by step! She really is a beauty but at the moment not many people can see what we see. We've planned a few alterations this year that will improve the look quite a bit.
Congratulations to you! I'm so happy you were able to make the first leg of your journey without incident. All the best to you and your volunteers. Such an exciting project! Thank you for letting me follow on!
It must be very rewarding to finally set sail, congratulations well done.
We really can't wait to really have the sails up there. Until then a bit of sailing under engine must do the trick. But that's already a big improvement.
Maybe paint/sealant/grease burning off of hot engine parts set off the smoke detector? Congrats on using paper navigation, but is a chart plotter in your future? It would be interesting to see the journey on charts. Also, what is the reason for the change of ports; is this part of a cruise or a destination for a project - or something else?
We rescued a wooden trawler and needed to be there. It's generally the right direction. But we are a floating refit so we are stationary most of the time. But from time to time a change in location is great. We did a lot of maintenance work on the engine so grease and oil residues burning off the engine is possible. Also the smoke alarm is new. We do use our iPad as a chart plotter. Since we have paper charts and a proper gps right at the moment we don't need a chart plotter. Bridge electronics are always the last purchase since it ages fast.
@@FlyingConeyMight think about openCPN as a solution.
Fantastic episode. It was great to see a crew onboard to give you a hand.
Hello everyone. How wonderful to see your ship moving away from where it has been moored for so long and sailing for a new destination - tremendous! Such hard work and effort has been done to make this happen, also, the valued support of many people. Best wishes from Lincolnshire
smooth sailing folks!
Always good the hit the water!
Good Luck in the days and years to come.
Thank you very much!
I am glad to see the ship is done and your dreams have come true. Your Journey beginning and I am glad that you are in a way taking us along with you. Looking for your next video.
The ship is in no means done or ready. We still have at least two years of refit in front of us. But we are finally able to move the boat again.
Congratulations to the crew, you all stay well and heathy!
It was great to see you moving on the water. I really look forward to seeing some sails up one day. :)
Can you imagine Flying Coney under sails? 5 square sails on the forward mast pulling her forward and a beautiful gaff sail on the main mast for the trim. She will be flying, that's for sure!
Well done that was so good to watch I look forward to future videos
Fantastic to see her on the move, and only a bit of a hiccup. 2x👍
Good to see you riding 👍👍
It bring joy to me see your adventure begin and remembering my time on the water
Good luck guys 🧙🏻♂️🇬🇧⛵
Good team work Coneys
Appreciate it!
With a vessel the size of Flying Coney + weight + sail area, you need a Bow Thruster (unfortunately), however this will allow the two of you to operate this vessel alone.
Actually under engine it's not too difficult to operate the boat on our own. Since we have a large draft and Flying Coney is quite heavy, things happen slowly. She's big for a yacht but many commercial ships of a similar size are operated by just two people. At least here in the Netherlands.
Good to see you sailing a bit now.
Feels good to do with the boat what is built for and finally get some practice.
awesome
Heb weer genoten barbera heel veel plezier met jullie schip
Het is ons schip en we hebben er allebei veel plezier op. Maar heel erg bedankt!
Fantastic, congratulations
professionell video, good job and great to see that you have such a great support
It's lovely to be on a journey!
Terrific. You'll soon be experienced old Sea Dogs. We are green with envy.
The keel cooler should remain cold with no circulation until the thermostat opens indicating the engine is up to temperature. Perhaps you have other loads on the cooling system such as water heaters (calorifiers) which prevent the engine getting up to temperature? Possibly you need more thermostat valves to get the engine up to temperature quickly, then divert water to the water heaters, then when the water heaters & central heating are up to temperature it finally uses the keel coolers.
Goodonyas!🎉
Have you guys ever thought about opening a Bar? You could serve food also. Like maybe Rhubarb pie. Name the bar after Barbara.
Put out those fenders on both port and 'larboard.sides, ye landlubbers and scallywags. Heave ho.. me boys!
At least your bleeper works well😂. Glad it’s wasn’t anything major👍👍
Thanks, when filming the ship on the move, can you film more items in the frame,instead of focusing on one or two specific items, so we can experience more. Filming and taking photos are different..but well done, hope all you guys have lots of fun😊
hello barbara im watching from australia
Good work
Congratulations and Ahoy there all the best regards from here on the West Coast side of Australia 🌏🇦🇺🙏🖖🤟🐨👽
Amazing very nice ❤ Best contact 🌹
Hi Barbara, love your channel and what you are doing to rejuvenate flying coney. Can I ask a favour from a viewer being in Australia. I would like to ask if you could feature something like a travel map, I struggle with the pronunciation of your country names and was wondering if you would start with a map saying this is where you are now and this is where we are going. The reason I ask is because I want to to follow your route as well as the journey of flying coney, plot it for my self on a map at home and look up places and ask you interesting questions along the way. Some stuff that you would take for interest may be of significance for other. Just a thought
Glad, there wasn't a major problem with the engine, really good to see her on the move, outvof intrest would a bow or stern thruster be something you might think about fitting, or would it be of no use for her future use
Actually not many sailing ships have bow thrusters. But it would't be difficult to retrofit one since we already have a strong hydraulic system. In any case it's more a nice to have than a real necessity.
Hi SFC, just the remark that the music used (10'-11') is also the intro theme from youtube channel Mermaid Monster.
It's a bit confusing.
Safe travels!
We use this song since our haul out video that came out 1.5 years ago from time to time. Mermaid Monster looks like a good channel and the production quality is very high. So no wonder we use the same piece of music from time to time.
On your trip you need to come in gaspe penisula is one of thr beautiful place in Québec canada then you can go to maritimes. I can be your guide around the regions ans tell you some stories😊
Woow nice videos. I am from srilanka ❤❤
Bravo Zulu 🎉
😃😃😃
I didn't see Urk, what a shame...😪
There might be some shots in the next video and spoiler we will be in Urk quite soon.
What's your cruising speed under power?
This time we went with 6.5knots at 1300rpm and used 14 liter an hour. Next time I will probably go a little slower. In the next video there will be our speed test.
The boat doesn't have to stop for the crew to eat. Get a bow thruster otherwise your going to look really silly when docking such a heavy boat.
You look silly when the bow thruster dies down or the wind is to strong and you can't maneuver your boat without one.
i have a question could one person operate a boat like yours alone if some of the stuff like anchor and sails were done by electronics (Drum Winch or Windlass and other things like that) mostly asking because i have been thinking about getting a boat but there's only me lol
i don't even think my friends would join me in traveling my friends would only join me in fishing
Don't underestimate the labor involved in the upkeep and the maintenance. Although it is possible to operate a boat of Flying Coneys size single handed it's difficult and only possible under engine. But if you have the money to pay people to do the maintenance you could possibly also afford a payed crew. My recommendation is always when you want to travel with a boat always stay underneath 15 or 49ft.
For me the sweet spot is around 9 meters and 5 tons to handle single handed. Anything bigger is possible but not enjoyable. On my current 11 meter steel boat of 12 ton I only sail with crew, and very little....
Är pump impellern bra till kylvattnet ?
I think it's alright. Maybe we exchange the thermostats just to be sure.
Where is the iceberg that sank the titanic ?
It melted down became part of the ocean and is now moving along with the gulf stream.
comments help so here is a comment 🚤☕🍮
Agreed and thanks! 👍
