ENGINE ROOM Tour of our Huge Historic SAILING SHIP!

[@FlyingConey]

Thank you all for taking part in our "what the hell is it" quiz. This time we asked you what brand of generator we have because there is no name or plage on the engine. We thought it's a Perkins P3 engine but got even a more detailed answer from you. It is a Perkins P3-152 with a Sims fuel injector which probably is the result of a Ford-Perkins collaboration. Similar engines were used in Massey Ferguson tractors and it seams like the Fordson Dexta 2.4 has the same collaboration unit we have as a generator.

You guys are very lucky to have each other. Barbara is one of the hardest working people i 've ever seen. She jumps in to any job and does it right ,hard work is the key.thanks also for the great job narrating please keep them coming

[@joeldumas5861]

Pneumatic needle scaler is the ultimate tool for refitting an old steel hull. Actual rust is often hidden under a hard and shiny black layer of hematite. Hematite is another kind of iron oxyde (Fe2O3). When sanded it becomes bright looking like good metal. But it isn't. Actual red rust is steadily expending underneath. The best technique I knew when extensively refurbishing my old ketch was picking the hematite with a welder hammer. I remember thar epoch like hours and days and months of glorious hammer picking (😉) Years later in the Caribbean, in search of a shipyard for maintenance and storage, I found this magic wand. I told the manager: " I choose your facilities because of the needle gun, so I book it right now!"

[@Herblay63]

Joel is correct... I've spent many hours with both a chipping hammer and needle gun when working on trawlers in the yard. Needle gun is by far the speediest tool to get back to true metal.

[@FlyingConey]

Never use a wire brush (angle grinder) on a steel boat... It's amazing how many still use this method and wondering why the use always comes back. On my research I came across two interesting products. One is the Monti Bristle Blaster and the other one is Tercoo. The later basically works like the multiple welding hammers on a rubber disc. The Bristle Blaster imitates sandblasting and is widely used in the pipeline industry. Unfortunately both tools are quite expensive. Thanks for the advice!

[@joeldumas5861]

@@FlyingConey wow the Tercoo is amazing! At least on ad videos. I didn't know it. Yes it's expensive, but it all depends on the lifespan of this thing when extensively used. Wired brushes are not that bad, but only for the final surface preparation before sand paper and primer painting, and once the mill scale is removed, especially the soft crimped wire type. They come with various sizes and shapes (disk, cup, brush...) for flat surfaces to small corners. I agree with you that the hard knotted wire attachments are not the good alternative for scaling.

Fun, Clever, Interesting, Dialogue and Editing. Well done & Thanks !

[@felixfeleus510]

The compressor was needed on board to get the Industrie engine started. When it is still working I suggest you keep it on board because you will need a needle scaler anyhow. Regarding the DAF, it is a very reliable engine. And despite her age all spares are still available, at least in Holland. But I advise you not to speed her up so much immediately after starting. Please always let the engine get a bit warm before pushing the throtle. This will give a longer lifetime in the end. And your Twindisc gearbox is a professional one and has a very good reputation. Success with your project.

[@FlyingConey]

Thank you. We have to give the engine a little push after starting so that the alternator starts working. Otherwise the charging indicator lamp is on for minutes. Usually Daniels starts the engine and Barbara pushed the engine a bit too long this time. Usually it's just a very short push on the throttle and usually we we let the engine idle for about 15 mins until we start with maneuvering or so. The oil in the engine is a SAE 30 so it needs to warm up a bit. Also thanks for the information about the gearbox!

[@CheersWarren]

I disagree, Diesel engines should not be warmed up at slow idle when cold, they should be warmed up under some load . This stops the bores ‘glazing’ and causing loss of compression. This cannot fixed itself , you would have to refit the engine to eliminate the glazing so be sure to warn the engine properly under light load , propeller engaged at the dock is ok and be sure Engine gets fully warmed up before shutting off, or much better go for a short trip to get everything working properly. ( say once a month!) If you read any operating instructions for older engines they always say warm up under load and do not slow idle when first started. Cheers Warren

[@FlyingConey]

Interestingly that's exactly how we do it. Starting the engine, giving it a small push so that the charging indicator lamps turns off. Then we have a look in the engine room if everything is alright. Engaging the prop and let her sit for another 10min and than increase the load for another fife to ten minutes. Since we are short handed moving the boat is quite a big deal and takes up at least a few hours. But thanks for the advice! Keep them good tipps coming! 🤓

[@gordonagent7037]

You have a big strong reliable engine and gearbox there and 500 hrs it wouldn’t even be run in but I agree, if you have the funds then an overhaul will give you limitless peace of mind

[@Blizziart]

I'm quite interested in the HP/heating project! Here's a couple questions: -Do you plan to adapt a ground source heat pump? Or make it 100% custom? -Where will the evaporator be on the ship and what geometry will it have? What material do you plan to use? I imagine it will exchange heat with sea water, so beware of corrosion, both inside and outside it). What about winter conditions, is it a big deal if it freezes nearby sea water? -Where do you plan to fit the unit? How do you plan to manage the noise produced by the compressor? -Did you estimate the heat losses through the hull and top? -For the heat carrier fluid, do you plan to use one of the two tanks as the hot water tank in a closed loop? Will you put anti-freeze (ethanol, glycol) in it? Is it still planned to be a plastic tanks? Won't it affect your reserves of drinkable water to dedicate one tank for this use? -What refrigerant do you plan to use? -Do you plan to reclaim heat from the engine's/generator's exhaust gases? If so, mind the corrosion that the exhaust gas condensation could cause (I guess there is sulfur in the fuel). -How do you plan to link all your heating sources together? (HP condenser, boiler and potential heat recovery from the engine/generator) I would suggest the following operation mode: -In harbour: HP charging a Space Heating (SH) tank - most likely one of the two you have - or topping up a smaller Domestic Hot Water (DHW) tank depending on the need. Charging the tank at maximum temperature before departing harbour would probably allow the ship to stay warm at sea for like a day without firing the solid fuel stove. -At sea, under engine: Harnessing as much fatal heat from the engine/generator as possible, DHW first and then SH. -At sea, under sail: fire up the solid fuel (pellet maybe if not too difficult to find/store) stove and use the heat in a similar fashion: DHW first and SH after. Sorry if the message is a bit messy!

[@FlyingConey]

I totally understand why the message is a bit messy. It's a very complicated topic and we are still very much in the planning stage. I try to give you an idea of what we think and why: As a heat pump I think the best option is basically a ground source heat pump. My idea is to run a pipe a alongside the hull similar to the keel cooling. Usually these heat pumps use brine as a fluid. This concept works on several houseboats here and for arctic temperatures I would still have the solid fuel stove and the generator. I would use a commercially available unit and only have to find the proper material for the pipe because I think normally they lay plastic hoses in the ground. As a puffer tank my choice would be a phase changer tank with paraffin balls in it. Mostly to safe space since even on our ship a 3000 liter puffer tank is too big and since you can store more heat in a smaller phase changer tank that's something we should consider. I do want to connect also the genset and the main engine to the puffer tank. Also to give me the opportunity to pre- heat the main engine. So the idea is to have the buffer tank as the heart of the system and only if that one is hot the keel cooling is used to cool down the engine. There are different ways to get hot drinking water from a buffer tank. I hope this helps to get you a better idea! 😉

[@40feetoftrouble]

Thanks for another great episode, and just a tip, please do not use needle scaler below waterline before hauling out the boat. The tool is good for getting off lots of loose rust, but it can penetrate weak areas of the hull as well. That is, unless you want to make some another "our boat is sinking" type of episode 😀

[@nferraro222]

This. I'm a hotrodder, not a boat guy, but I've seen brake systems that pressurized to around 900psi, work perfectly well, until they were wire-wheeled, at which point, plugs of rust popped out and immediately began leaking like a sieve.

[@barendgarvelink]

Interesting to hear about the history of the ship. The DAF engine should be good for a few decades more if you treat it right. Good to see your dry sense of humour, I love it. The cheeky Michael Bay thumbnail, the arguing with the narrator, the foley, all that. I suppose it can be overdone, but here it’s exactly right. I enjoy following your story!

[@michaelproust7891]

If it is a Perkins you have struck gold. The perkins was an excellent engine because of the design of the inlet port, so it was very reliable on start, many diesels are very very difficult to get running, an example is the International, I am a farmer and these engines are used in tractors.

[@FlyingConey]

It's a modified Perkins P3! I think this engine was used in Massey Ferguson tractors.

[@alaskabeachcomber4232]

I admire your energy and determination. You have undertaken a big project, but the finished ship will be worth all the labor and frustration. Do not get discouraged! Also, you will extend your DAF engine life if you can design a system to circulate warm water through the engine before start-up, like a block heater for commercial trucks.

[@paulthew2]

With each video I enjoy your journey more. I LOVE the size of the engine room....yes, your idea of making it smaller makes total sense, but I still love the space to walk around...you could have a great steel work bench and vice in there.

Thank you for subscribing. Our project is unique because we're restoring and converting a motorsailer to sailing ship. It's a long journey and we hope to get the boat operational in 3 years. But that's only if we can make a living from KZbin. Otherwise it will take longer. We hope we can tackle the filthy engine room quite soon, just need running hot water and a brush and in two days it will shine again.

You have full rudder, good size prop and no bow thruster and she's single screw . Which means you need to drive backwards in a straight line better than you drive forward for docking and undocking . She a beautiful steel tonka toy to live onboard . Have you considered adding a thruster either on the bow or on the stern for easier maneuvering in close quarters for docking and undocking ? Washer and dryer onboard along with a watermaker and a tall water heater for showers then my tv for gaming and tower computer aka desk top . Then compressor for dive bottles . Wonderful tonka toy 👍

That engine room machinery is old but in good condition just needing maintenance and loving care, I’d have oil samples done on the main engine before rebuilding it may well be fine by the sound of it and that money could be used on other maintenance or other projects.

[@edenhunter9904]

Ya gotta love these two 😊

[@MrBobVick]

Had to research the accents, assume the ship is not in Austria? 50 years ago the ship I was engineer on looked much worse with in a year we had 3 mast stepped & new rigging and sails. Black Douglas was built in 1929 and had a number of refits, so was rough. Think the King of Morocco owns her now. The excellent cook was an Austrian gal from the western mountainous part. Anyway later raced catamarans with my wife , so we pitchpoled too, she had me flip the cat so we could speed up recovery time so same life, different worlds.

[@FlyingConey]

How did your research look like? Watching Terminator one two and 🌲(tree)? Of course we'll be back 😉. I've looked the Black Douglas up and I have to say it's a very interesting story and history. It even reminds me a little bit to our own project with the missing bowsprit and the motorboat conversion. She also is a very beautiful ship even though I'm not a huge fan of the stays'l configuration especially with these triangular fisherman sails. Do you know why the rig was built that way?

[@MrBobVick]

@@FlyingConey In the 1970's Black Douglas sailed under the name te Quest. She was a school ship, something you all might think about as a revenue stream. The school was called "Flint School". The Captain's son, who was Captain of te Vega., designed the sail plan, think he copied it from the original. te Vega originally ETAK was built by Krupp in 1929 also & was a gaff rig. ETAK is Kate spelled backwards. te Quest has way too much mainsail, so bad weather helm.

[@loganjohnson3589]

I noticed that you are having a problem with corrosion on the battery cable ends and the insides of the ends are a dull gray the color is due to resistance this can be fixed by cleaning the post and cable end and then applying dielectric grease to them (it can be found at automotive stores ) this will stop this problem and make it much easier to charge and use them it will also add life to the batteries you may want to also get a tester to check the acid level in the batteries so you get maximum charging and longer life .the easy way to clean that white colored corrosion is to use baking soda and water .If it is on a flat surface or in a corner you can use a wet towel or rag soaked in it and and lay it on the effected area. then simply rinse with water .

[@cungwang149]

I dream of owning a boat like yours I'm looking and hope to find one before I get to old to sail her .keep up the good work 👏

[@FlyingConey]

My advice would be to reach something a little bit smaller. Let's say 60-65ft. The only two reason we went above that are because there is a price drop above 24 meters and because we want to use the boat commercially. We think our boat is the best compromise for a boat that can take up to 16-20 people but still can be operated with just two people. But if you just want to live on the boat and sail her with 2-8 people probably 20 meters is the perfect size. Keep me updated when you found your dream boat 😀

[@williamnewman8850]

ship is huge has a lot of big parts. i watched a utube video of Lazer process for rust removal from the frame of a car. Very slow time-consuming process. I am sure this is not possible considering the size of your boat. I think I remember that you have considered using Lazer for hull rust removal but decided it's not feasible also. So good luck you are very brave taking on such a huge project like this.

[@FlyingConey]

We're still considering using a 2000 watt laser for the inside of the hull. The problem is that these machines are incredible expensive. Costing up to 40 000€. Even renting them sets you back at about 4 000€ a week and then you need a strong generator and proper fresh air supply and so on and so on. So although it's a great method it's probably cheaper to have it sandblasted by a professional.

[@williamnewman8850]

Thank you for your response. I started sailing at a very young age using a bed sheet for a sail and paddle to steer the row boat . I have continued to sail representing USA as jr sailor championship in Brazil in penguin dingy Then as a lightning sailor at several us and world championships.

[@AlanRWynne]

You mentioned Somewhere that you are going to do a full overhaul of your engine. While doing so why dont you convert it to a Hybrrind engine like the Beta marine Hybrid engine. Electric powered and diesel powered. With regenration trhough your propeller back to your bateries, You Could then run of Batereies or diesel. (P.S. i though Thought i already posted this comment, but cannot find it in my history, i was just wandering what you guys thought!)

[@FlyingConey]

I think an hybrid system is a great engine setup for a sailing boat. I can fully understand why Leo has decided to install the Beta Marine and I also think an hybrid system would suit Arabella well. However, the Beta line up ends with 150hp and that's only available in the US for non recreational crafts up to 24 meters. Also it would mean we would need a two engine setup. Currently we a have the DAF 1160 with the 320hp continuous rating! You could push the engine easily to 500hp and more. There are systems available for boats our size but then we are talking about at last 80 000€ just to throw a number in the room. And on the other hand we're planning of investing into a proper sailing rig and I think that's the most beautiful way of saving fuel.

[@skaraborgcraft]

Those P3s are long lived, i got one in my Massey Furgurson 135. I always wanted a boat big enough to use one as a main engine, they were used in fishing boats and could swing a 3ft diameter propellor. Normally die from not being worked hard enough, glazed bores and rings. Not sure why they need a turbo on an 11 litre diesel, did they do a non turbo version? Always thought it was something else to go wrong, but even big ships have them.

Fuel economy

[@CheersWarren]

Hello, what a wonderful project and boat. I look forward to following your progress. I hope you find time to do some small trip on the boat while you’re are refitting. I’m confused you think the hull may have been changed from wood to steel? Maybe all the equipment was moved from a wood hull to a steel hull??? I hope you reconsider overhauling the engine , with so little hours it should not need disturbing but maybe this will be part of the engine room downsizing. Gook luck . Cheers Warren

[@FlyingConey]

I found information that the ship dates back to 1941 although the official building date is 1950. Also they switched out the Deutz engine after only three years in use. It's kind of strange that they built in a German undersized engine. There was a large series of wooden fishing vessels called "Kriegsfischkutter". The fishermen were getting a cheap loan for the ship but in the event of a war the ship was converted into a warship. (And the fishermen were converted into navy soldiers). These trawlers were mass produced with steel or iron frames and wooden planks. After they sometimes re- used the steel frames of damaged, sunken or unfinished vessels. They used what they had and what they could afford. I think it's one of the most amazing things about Flying Coney how many technologies, techniques and design elements come together. Built as an early motor ship but still with a sailing ship line, built like a composite ship but with a riveted steel hull. Since she was one of the last fishing ships with the old lines she discontinued fishing quite early and was converted into a sailing ship and so on.

[@Graham19951]

Those Daffs are pretty bullet proof, but the fresh water pump is not the best. I would keep a spare if I was you as they are probably getting hard to find now.

Good vidio Thanks

[@glennking1086]

You said your vessel is single screw. At 82 feet do you have any plans to install a bow thruster in order to aid in maneuvering?

[@FlyingConey]

Let's say it that way, a bow thruster is very high up on the wish list but very low on the priority list. I spoke a little bit with the captain of the Elia and he also recommended a thruster. But it comes with a 8-10 000€ price tag.

[@CheersWarren]

Since you don’t like the aft deck cabin have you considered painting it a dark color to it does not stand out for now anyway? Cheers Warren

[@FlyingConey]

It's not that we don't like the aft cabin. We do live in this cabin and the wheelhouse most of the time. Only the galley is down below. But the quarter deck divides the deck space and we almost never sit up there. On the long run we want to convert the ship into a sailing vessel and with the superstructure that high we would use a lot of mainsail area. Also being higher up would mean to feel the rolling and movements of the ship more. Furthermore getting from the helm position to the main deck quickly is something I'm concerned off. So it's more a practical consideration from a sailors perspective. (And I also prefer the look without it...)

[@glennmatthews3875]

We have two daf engines exactly like yours we removed from our passenger vessel in the UK, these are currently for sale should you ever be interested for spares? Also the gearbox is bulletproof being a flat sump twin disk it’s a 3:1 ratio.

I'm not a boat-guy, but this thing might have actually started life as a WOODEN-hulled, sailing ship? That seems like a whole lot of conversion, compared to the cost of purchasing a different ship. Anyway, it has beautiful lines.

[@FlyingConey]

Those ships (KFK) were produced in large quantities but not with the best quality materials especially during the war. After the war they often were used for high risk operations like mine clearing. Furthermore some of the ships were not finished and the frames were laying around in the yards. Since there also was a shortage in materials after the war they used what they had. But a to small Deutz engine is a rather interesting choice and also from her lines she looks much older than 1950.

[@donkanis6141]

Wow what and engine room those Germans a.way built redundancy into every thing they do. The non powered wheel steering is good to. The gear mostly probably just needs clean and refurbishment probably last a few more Dozen years. Like anything it,s just time. Great vid. ;0)

[@FlyingConey]

We have an hydraulic steering and usually these systems are very solid and last a very long time. It's also not difficult to get the cylinders repaired if necessary. We do think now that the ship was originally dutch built or at least designed and only used by the germans. Her lines are the lines of a herring logger (drift netter) and these were built in between ca. 1915- 1930.

[@Nails346]

Step no 1 with your main and gen Diesel engines is to change the filters and oil. The oil is black

[@FlyingConey]

What color have you looked for? Pink? 😉😀 The engine oil was changed one year ago and we had about 10 engine hours since then. But I've owned several diesel cars and always done the regular maintenance schedule and the oil is always black. Even at my fairly new Mercedes Vito which had a service just a month ago the oil is black.

[@Nails346]

@@FlyingConey I agree. Older engines also are not as tight as newer engines and the oil tends to get black more quickly.

[@FlyingConey]

@@Nails346 On the main engine we even use a SAE 30 oil instead of the much cheaper 10w40. That's also the reason why it's good to let the engine warm up a bit because the oil needs time to warm up. I'm afraid if you want to have honey colored oil it would take at least 2-3 oil changes or the complete overhaul. But on the other hand there's barley any black smoke coming out even at higher revs. That's almost unheard of a DAF 😂What engine do you have?

The hull thickness was measured in Dezember 2018. Everything alright and way above the minimum of 3.6mm. Most parts at around 6-7mm.

[@dr.echevers]

may I ask, what is your homecountry. Just because of your accent. If you don't mind.

[@Taugtaug]

They are from Austria

[@aquious953]

310 hp seems a little under powered for such a big ship. My 34' power boat has twin 250hp diesels (doesn't plane).

[@FlyingConey]

Most fishing vessels our size only have 300hp cause there is some kind of regulation regarding catch quotas. So our 320hp are strong enough. We also have quite a lot of torque. Maximum speed is somewhere in between 8,5 and 9kn and most important we are a sailing ship 😉

I think you need an oil change

[@Jamiehello1]

hello

[@bertram5798]

Jöööö!

[@stuarth43]

DAF 1160 engine

[@timkahn2813]

plus most attempts at humor on vlogs are failures . your kind of fun.

[@johnmaliskey7951]

Instead of a timing belt... try a timing chain or gears. Much more reliable ................................. enjoy

[@FlyingConey]

True! The funny thing is, I think we have all three options. The DAF has gears, the Perkins a chain and the Lombardini a timing belt. The Lombardini is probably not the best engine on the market but it's a 1500 rpm genset and only has 1500 running hours.

The music 😬

[@claybornlewis276]

[@knutarneaakra6013]

Wksh i could help you but i do suport almost 20 youtubers already. Giving Bout 2 box a week

[@FlyingConey]

Steve is almost finished with Arabella. So just support us when he has launched. Deal? 😉

[@CarlosAlberto-ii1li]

6,000 litres is not much , my tanks hold over 30,000..................

[@FlyingConey]

To be honest I do not know how much we rally have. Probably more than 6000 liters but definitely not 30 000 😉 Theoretically that would be enough for a circumnavigation. On the other hand we really want to sail so I guess 2-3000 liters is sufficient for us.

[@bogus_not_me]

PLEASE EITHER NUMBER OR DATE YOUR VIDEOS! Right now no one can tell which comes first or next!

[@FlyingConey]

We had that but got punished by the algorithm. But we have a playlist starting at the beginning and the video recommendation at the end of each video is always the next video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5Kan3ijns9riqs

[@ratandmonkey2982]

not exactly an enviro-friendly "sailing" boat ...

[@FlyingConey]

10 liter an hour isn't bad and the environmental friendly engine on a sailboat are the sails 😉

[@dexterm7466]

Probably the most awkward,uncomfortable looking thumbnail I’ve ever seen.

[@FlyingConey]

But you have seen and clicked on it 😉

[@claybornlewis276]

10 l an hour at 5 knots what is it like 2 gallons an hour for that big a** boat that's great fuel consumption most yaoh she ought to burn more than that and they're all h*** of a lot smaller a 40' hatter if it's got diesels in it it'll burn 10 gallons an hour how do they get off only burn in 2 gallons an hour at 5 nights I don't know but h*** that is d*** good fuel consumption especially when diesels like $7 a gallon

[@Videostufftas]

Started watching then horrible loud music put me off will not subscribe

[@FlyingConey]

Thank you for the information. But the audio is leveled on -6db but I can turn it down a bit more in the future. But maybe surf music is just not your taste...
