So good to see you back with your boat.

Yes your ship has a history of sailing, but is the hull now in a sound enough condition to return her to sailing.?

How far behind are you in your videos please. Thank you.

I got an idea when you finish you could design your own flag and hang it off the mast

Thanks, always enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work

Dear Barbara and Danël, Nice to learn some more about the history of Flying Coney. It’s also great to see how you have been traveling to Urk and hopefully you’ll manage to do what needs to be done there on the dry dock. Willeke and I look forward to your next vlog and send you love.

Please guys. Do a very thorough thickness inspection on the hull where she has been fitted with concrete. At 12:01 you can see that the concrete is loose and there is some rust behind it. if you guys spring a leak when out on sea you won’t be able to plug it easy because off all the concrete. When she was built it was normal practice to place concrete but now a days we try to stay well away from that. You can replace the concrete by normal ballast if you need to.

How utterly marvelous!

this is really bothering me: how exactly does Barbara see me again, every time? And why is she so happy to see me? Sometimes, I've been having a bad day, and she says this: I don't really understand why someone would be happy to see me when I'm feeling terrible. I've started taping over my camera and turning off my phone, and only watching on a Mac mini than has no camera: Still, she sees me every time. This is clearly an invasion Into my privacy: are any other viewers also getting this message, or is it only me? If you are getting this, or a similar message, I think you should tell us in the comments below. Really not sure which would be worse, everyone, or just me. And Daniel never says it: so is he just keeping quiet, or is Barbara holding out on him? Or what is going on, actually?

What a treasure John is! How fortunate you were to get him on board; my goodness. Yes indeed he should have his own channel - if he was interested. His knowledge base and vast experience is obvious, as his his passion and informative commentary. What a dear soul, and with a friendly sense of humour!

❤

what is the timeline for this project ? just to get this ship to a point where you could even add a sailing rig to it must be totally cost prohibitive. Not to be totally negative , but how can anyone finance this project ,especially with 36 k subscribers . this channel needs more substance than these filler episodes

Hi, Before you add masts and sails you should do a Stability or Inclination test and have it analysed by a naval architect. A heavy concrete internally ballasted round bilge boat won't carry much sail to windward compared to an externally lead ballasted hull.You need a high Metacentric height (GM) to go to windward.

I will be waiting for the next video after this.

😃😃😃

Barbara: what an exceptional episode! Flying Coney has untapped History we all would love to hear about. Possibly Daniel and you could give the viewer's some of Flying Coney's marvelous HISTORY. Thank you so much for sharing and good luck on your haul and huge refit project.

Honestly I got to give it to you you have more guts then brains never taught I would see that old rust bucket 🪣 on the water again but you proved me wrong so my 🎩 off to you and Barbra and crew sir well done

Hello. For Merchant Navy guys as myself. Can't collect the ship specs, such as Net Tonnage or cargo capacity of that type of vessels. Would you mind point me the video fro your list where to find it ?? Nice watch!

well done she sails well yes i would to learn more her

How many more of these filler episodes??😢😢😢

I am a American that lives in Wien the 10th District :=)

G'day Crew, Cool vid guys,was nice to see Flying Coney out on the water motoring ahead. Look forward to seeing the repairs & the vid of Flying Coneys past life . Respect....!

Will you add another mast and more sails?

in English, the G in brigantine is pronounced wie "gross" oder "gut."

Love the history background. Keep it coming, please.

Go for it!!! History. Grettins form San José, Costa Rica Central América.

Interesting Vid! Where did you start by the way?

would love to see and hear the history of the Flying Coney

Maybe it is just my imagination but every time I see Daniel piloting he seems more confident. And that is good! Side note: Schooners are beautiful. 🙂

Will a keel need to be added?

Please keep your boat as BOATH a sailing and trawling vessel. This will give you the most pleasure in your future journeys. I have always thought that a sailing ship should have a figure head on the bow. I do not know what you should have for it, but a nice one would make the ship most unique. Perhaps a surging dolphin would be nice? Anyway, you both are doing a most wonderful job with all that you do. Your future has a red sky at night. All the best to you.

bravo

👍👍👍

So she was built as a KFK, Kriegsfischkutter. I really love this ships!😊😊😊❤

How do you convert a wood hull to steel ?

Sailing around the harbor looking for a mooring space, looks a lot like driving around the mall looking for a parking space close in, you always end up out in the boonies. History is always interesting

great vlogs on cxhannel thanks lee

I love the history, thank you for the video

please turn the music down.

It is the most beautiful ship in the world because it is your ship. But so is my ship the most beautiful ship in the world for the same reason.

Have you thought of using an epoxy coating on the hull at some future time. It would put an end to most of the corrosion.

Flying Coney needs a crew of young people that want to get experience on how to run and maintain such a ship!

I would love to see and hear the history of the Flying Coney! Please share that with us!

Yes please, as much history as you can find.

Does he need help working on it.

When you were standing at the bow and talking to us, Dan, I noticed the paint below the bowsprit is bubbling, suggesting that the plating there is rusty. You may want to have a look there with a hammer and cold chisel.

How did you come to choose the name ‘Flying Coney’?

Bow thrusters are a modern thing, mariners have been docking large vessels for a thousand years without them. It is good that you are having the skills now, when you have the sailing rig installed you'll have a whole extra dimension to deal with - windage!

Barbara and Daniel von der Water-Kant!
