Only because we share it on UA-cam. We would be better off with a 9 to 5 day job. More time and money for the project.

Thank you for feedback. Initially we only mentioned higher Patron levels in the video credits and that's part of their Patreon benefits. These are the "Officers" at the beginning of the credits. But since we're grateful for every Patron we have we also mention the entry level Patrons in every video. But we see that as an additional benefit for them and the readability depends on how long the outro is.

We do have a closed cooling system and keel cooling. I think your advice is for a seawater cooled system.

That's why we have taped the anodes before painting and we have removed the tape before going into the water.

This is excellent 👌

We manually place an add about every 5min and that's far less than what UA-cam would put in automatically. We do so since very much the beginning of the channel. Even though our add revenue is getting lower and lower even with more views. We personally pay for YT Premium because it's part of being a creator to watch other channels. But I can understand that UA-cam has become difficult to watch and we're also noticing that it's far more difficult to grow on this platform.

Euer Boot ist 15 Meter oder? Ich persönlich finde die 12 Liter jetzt nicht schlimm vor allem wenn man die Größe und das Gewicht vom Boot beachtet. Bei ähnlichen Booten sind auch zahlen jenseits der 20 Liter keine Seltenheit. Wenn ich mich richtig erinnere wolltet ihr uns letztes Jahr auf Urk besuchen. Ab nächster Woche sind wir wieder dort.

Yes indeed the engine did run perfect. Either it was a minor issue or we're a bit overly concerned. So it could very well be that there was no issue at all. In the past weeks we made a lot of progress on Flying Coney and on the wooden boat as well. Not long until we will leave Sneek again and go to Urk. So a lot of exiting stuff happened and we can't wait to share it with you!

@@FlyingConey Thanks for your kind response and WIlleke as well as me are very involved in your progress with Flying Coney because we still admire you for having the courage to embark on such a project. You may wonder why we don't become a Patrion, but we take the position that if we do, we feel obligated to do the same with the 23 other channels which we are subscribed so we simply can’t afford this due to our retirement

I can understand that and a UA-cam channel needs viewers, needs comments and needs likes. Not everyone can become a Patron. We see Patreon as a platform where we can share additional content and not only as a way to receive donations. We've formed a group who attend our crew meetings and we can discuss the next steps in our project and answer all questions. Interestingly only a few of our Patrons actually watch the additional contend. But of course we're graceful for every Patron. So it might be an idea to use the 7 day free trails for the 23 channels and have a look how you like the Platform and where you get something back for your money.

Thanks for the comment!

We're using their service and are completely satisfied.

@@FlyingConey Obviously you need it.

Well I'm not the one accusing people I don't know of being liars! Or try to tell other people how they should do their job. If I don't like something I don't waste my time with it.

@@FlyingConey Stating a fact....you do it for money

Yes but we only promote products and services we believe in. We recently turned down a well paid sponsorship deal because it was against what we stand for. UA-cam and Patreon doesn't bring us above minimum wage. So without sponsorship deals we would need to stop making videos.

We're slightly concerned that this would attract Barbarians. We've volunteers, that's enough 🤣

The language on board Flying Coney is English and your English seems perfect to me. Just let us know when you're in the area.

So nice! Thank you!

The distance in between Lelystad and Lemmer is about 30 nautical miles. At the moment we are overly cautious and keep a close eye on our systems. For us the ice cold return line from the keel cooling was a bit unusual. But it's possible that it's always like that. With the smoke detector going off it was a high stress situation but that was also only because a bit of oil and dirt fumed a little bit and we had the engine room doors closed for the first time since we had the smoke detector. So overall nothing to worry about.

Two different projects indeed, but both have something in common: both ships are rotten and it costs more to renovate them as to buy a good second hand ship…

We do have four sails for the existing rigging. At least two jibs and a gaff sail. However if we do want to use the existing rigging we would need to exchange all ropes, many blocks and also parts of the standing rigging. For an improvised motorsailer rig that's too much money and too much work. Just last week the gaff was crashing down when we hoisted the dinghy back on deck. I think that was a warning shot. So we're thinking of going one step backwards and get rid of the rig. That way Flying Coney will look at least like a nice trawler yacht and not like an odd motorsailer. BUT we will add masts as soon as possible. We will start with a fore and aft rig and will add square sails later on. The goal is to rig her as a schooner brig.

@@FlyingConey Ah - too bad the existing rigging is not unstable. Thank you for explaining the circumstances. I can agree with your thinking about going one step backward. One less variable, one less possibility of sudden failure and everything that goes along with a failure of that sort and a reduction of her gross weight. I don't see any downside to that route. Thanks for the information! :) This subject may make interesting YT content.

It's always interesting how much viewers like you pay attention to the very little details. We noticed the wrong datum while editing the video. It must have reset itself to factory setting because we always disconnect the batteries when we don't need them.

Thank you for taking time to answer. Keep it up and cheers!!!

​@@FlyingConey Actually the GPS signal does not contain the full year, and the date information wraps around every 20 years or so (1024 weeks to be precise). Modern GPS receivers translate this into the correct date, but this very old model (a Furuno GP-30 if I'm not mistaken) cannot do that. Time and position information is still totally fine.

Thank you! Glad you've enjoyed the video!

It feels very good that the boat is in a state where we don't have to worry while on the move. John did a great job with the engine and we're gaining trust in the hull. But it will be a long way until we're done.

Don't rush ! We all will be watching.

There are so many interesting things coming up. We're making huge progress on Flying Coney. We film everything and will share it all, that's for sure!

Sounds like a lovely journey of yours. For us it was the first time really arriving to a new town while underway and it really was special.
