Extreme Industrial Work at the Shipyard

[@FlyingConey]

When approaching a project like Flying Coney you can either break down and cry or you take it with a bit of humor. Being born and raised in Vienna our, well mostly Daniels, dry and dark sense of humor is part of our national identity. It’s self ironic, a bit charming, a bit offensive and sometimes subtle and not always meant to be funny. But it’s not there to hurt anybody. It’s there to make you smile. Smile not lough! If you need an instruction: It’s the kind of joke you hear, think „wait what?“, then you think again and then it makes you smile. Not all people are able to think long enough to get to the smiling bit which is very unfortunate. Anyway, don’t take the videos (or the thumbnails) too serious, we certainly don’t! And as a general mindset: Don’t take live too seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Just looking at the burning I believe it is all lies. If the deck is timber and burning it would also be burning in front of the superstructure as well. Boats like that and this side are all steel decks and they don't burn, it is staged, a pack of lies.

It seems people don’t want to let that sandblasting idea go. You said a while back you can’t sandblast in that yard and it wouldn’t be good for the hull. I could see the damage from the fishing cables. That’s amazing. I never thought that could happen. You’re doing a great job. Keep it up.

This was a really interesting and encouraging video! I live on a steel narrowboat which, fortunately, was refurbished before I bought her. My friend though, took the plunge and bought her project, a 1914 riveted iron hulled narrowboat with a wooden superstructure definitely requiring my basic woodworking skills. However, I continue to enjoy the project and learn something new every day. My approach is the same as yours - keep going and keep the costs down 🙂

[@jweitzenheimer]

That aft deck superstructure is a nice living space but sure isnt very pretty (or historic). I was wondering if you were going to remove it and then you mentioned it right at the end of the video

[@FlyingConey]

It's not about how it looks or if it's historic or not. Originally Flying Coney had a deck surrounding the wheelhouse. We want to lower the aft deck down to bulwark hight. That gives us enough room underneath for a decent sized aft cabin. The high quarter deck like it is at the moment makes it difficult to move for and aft on the boat. So for us it's a practical decision in order to make a sailing ship out of her. For a motorsailer it's fine and not all that ugly. Maybe a little balcony aft would be nice...

[@chantedefelepe]

I taught you got lucky with that old rust bucket and you set it on fire o well there is always next week

[@FlyingConey]

Not worth talking about 😂 It was just a 1000°C hot flame but luckily Cees put it out with his glove. Initially we asked if the yard can weld if the insulation is still in place, they told us that's only possible in other yards because here the ships always start to burn.

[@RogerThatSailing]

F the haters. I regularly watch but acknowledge that i click sooner with a clickbait title or thumbnail.

[@FlyingConey]

It's just a little joke because of the 1000°C cutting torch. We've been very careful on removing anything that it doesn't end up like in the thumbnail. But these things happened in the past. I'm wondering if the haters are just disappointed that we didn't failed and getting closer to launch each end every episode. For me viewers and subscribers are not just numbers. I find it quite amazing that 40-60 000 people are watching each episode at the moment. That's about the same as Austrias biggest football stadium can hold. That's big and it's great to you choose to watch our videos! The Thumbnail is just the advertisement but this time 25% instead of the 20% are clicking, I feel a little sorry for those who didn't get the joke but on the other hand humor is part of our channel.

[@bobadam7021]

I'm curious about the plans for outside the hull when Flying Comey is finished. Will you be sheathing the hull in wood to make a "fake" tall ship? I know this is a common practice including the ships in the Pirates movies, as well as the somewhat recently lost Bounty replica.

[@Who.is.Clinton]

Just a heads up. Been watching your video's, all of them, but your content could be more general, this whole video was about a small section of removed plate and three holes being welded? I saw no fire? "We set our boat on fire?"

[@Chris_Waterman]

I see you greatly progressing in the quality of your videos be it content or presentation. Besides getting this boat back to life seems to work which I did not expect in the begining. I do not like the clickbait but will not unsubscribe because I like your videos and style. On the other hand I usually scroll over clickbait thumbnails without deeper look. Maybe you make it less extreme. All the best from Austria!

[@FlyingConey]

Thank for the compliment on video quality and presentation. That means a lot for us. After all we came here on YT to share videos. It's about the content not so much about the thumbnails. Unfortunately even with the better quality videos we're getting less and less new viewers. The Algorithm is only reaching out to the same people. We'll see if the clickbait helps growing the channel.

[@FlyingConey]

Sorry for the clickbait. Cees asked me if we would like to have the welds grinded down with the angle grinder or with the cutting torch. Of course we picked the cutting torch since it's faster and you've already seen enough grinding. The thumbnail is just my dark sense of humor because he was "setting our boat on fire." With the cutting torch he can melt away only the welds and the remains of the old overplating without hurting the steel underneath it. I found this quite amazing.

[@jeffjefferson2676]

If you clean a bearing with air pressure, it can over spin, and if the books I've read are right, it could disintegrate the bearing and have pieces of it flying everywhere. Yeah, what do I think? Well, I hope all the blank spots of steel are covered so its good for now until you can get the blasting of the hull done. I know there is some time between the hull repairs and the ship now. So I actually wonder what you did to it, and what it looks like now. :) I really wonder about the mast configuration. There are so many options. Will it go all the way down to the bottom of the ship? It probably is the strongest like that, but there is concrete on the on the bottom at the hull. 1 mast? 2 masts? 3 masts? Like of of these type ships: Catboat, Sloop, Yawl, Ketch, Cutter, Schooner, Brig, Brigantine, Barque, Barquentine, or Full-rigged ship? There is something to choose here ("Sail plan"). At "Rig (sailing)" I'm seeing a lot of lot of choices for sails. As said before, I would hatch up every door and compartmentise before going onto the ocean. If heard scary stories about sailing into some 40 foot containers floating under the surface, sinking ships in the middle of nowhere. That is some horror scenario, and that does happen. Well very happy for you, that it got so far that it made it into the water (almost). But of course I've heard from you that its floating, going to places.. Any way, good luck! Ill be watching.

[@allanmiell7726]

I have built and designed over 50 yachts mostly built from steel I have owned steel boats most of my life and I have repaired and refurbished many vessels including ship repairs. I wish I had known about your boat earlier as I could have saved you money. Just looking at your pics much of the damage has been caused by electrolysis not corrosion. If you have completed the underwater work you need to place Zinc blocks (anodes) in proper places. How much corrosion is on the interior of the hull? I don't understand how burning the boat will contribute anything good to the vessel. It's your boat, good luck regards Allan Miell

[@FlyingConey]

The complete electrolysis damage happened in about two years. The previous owner has redone the electrics and has mixed two types of anodes. Hull thickness is still very good and we had that thickness report. So it was a reasonable decision to buy without a haul out but we knew there was a risk. But it's more about the unplanned work, not so much about the additional money.

What do I think? Well I rather think Wood decking over steel might not be the best idea, but it's your boat Daniel ;-)

[@FlyingConey]

You'r correct a wooden deck over a steel deck isn't the best idea. But at the moment we've a rotten wooden deck made somewhat watertight by laying a steel deck above it. Of course we would remove the steel deck and then the old wooden deck and then we lay a new wooden deck.

[@Mark-tb3kw]

​@Sailing Flying Coney mixing materials never ends well. Put on a nice watertight steel deck. Also keep in mind the deck adds a large amount of structure.

[@FlyingConey]

As said, the original deck is wood and it's still in place. Since the boat was originally designed as a wooden boat with steel frames a wooden deck is the proper way of doing it. What you shouldn't do is laying a wooden deck above a steel deck.

i like the boat as it is. dont rebuild it completly. take of the mast and fit a new sailing mast insted.and use the weelhouse as is it.then you can build a massiv house in the cargo room

[@FlyingConey]

One thing really leads to another here. The raised poop deck is very unpractical especially when sailing. If we lower it we have to modify the wheel house. The positionn of the main mast is exactly were the front of the wheelhouse is. But modification like that always had been done on Flying Coney. Mostly we're just removing the modification that had been done in the early 90s.

Hi Fon, we've always finished to surface with the Tercoo to get a sandblasting like surface. Mounted on the grinder was mostly a CSD Disc and that's also not grinding.

cant wait to see rigging plan...

[@FlyingConey]

Hi Edward, once Flying Coney was a sailing ship she was rigged as a two masted tops'l schooner. She was gaff rigged and had square topsails on the forward mast. You can look up the sailing ship JANTJE. She has a similar size, hull shat and that particular rig. Another option would be to exchange the forward gaff sail with two or three staysails. That would be easier to handle and a bit cheaper and look more like a brigantine.
