You’re completely nuts, and the world would be a sad poor place without the likes of you! Very best wishes with your project!

Heh. Reminds me of when i was a teen. I was a sea scout, and the ship foundation got ahold of a 102 ft former navy torpedo retriever (going from a wood hulled 73 ft ww2 era sonar testing boat) and it was so much work. It took an entire summer of the whole crew caravaning down to socal (naval base ventura county) from the bay area to get it seaworthy enough to make it to santa barbara to the place we got it drydocked and the hill cleaned + new zinc. I was able to make that cruise, but we had to abort the first attempt up the rest of the coast to the san francisco bay area because somehow water got in our fuel tanks, and we lost all power off the coast and had to get towed back into port by the coast guard. We got her done eventually!

You two are genuine 100% heroes. Well done.

I have seen every video from the start, but this overview is really excellent, tying it all together. Kudos for putting this one together. 👍👍👍👍

Both of you are just unbelievable in your determination, honesty and editing each and every episode. To say thanks is an injustice. To admire your individual concerns, likes and friendship is most appropriate. So - let us ALL get to work, together, and assemble a sailing ship.

I'm 78 and I got tired just watching all the work in the video!

I'm with the commenter from a few weeks ago; y'all are insane, and I really REALLY want you to succeed as this project. Take care of that little lady, and she'll take care of you. Best wishes and good luck!

Happy u guys haven't given up and are doing a proper refit / build.

The space will look even better when you apply a rust converter solution and finally paint it a light color. The repairs to the frames can be made easily now and will ensure a strong hull for all of your renovations. I'm surprised you don't have more followers as this channel is rather unique in many ways. Thanks for all of your efforts to produce these videos.

I love what you all are doing to that beautiful old ocean-going vessel. She deserves a second chance she's part of history. When you all bought her, she was on life support and dying quickly. And as someone who was raised in the Honduran Bay islands, it does my heart good to see what you all are doing, every repeat.

This was a wonderful recap. Thank you for your hard work.

Wonderful recap and update. The interior spaces looks massive now and you have so much area to work with when deciding how to lay it out. I'm enjoying the journey with you as you move forward in the refit. Thank you for letting us follow along.

This video took me back to when I worked for a company that built and repaired large commercial and military ships. You guys definitely ended up with a much larger project than you thought. I am glad to see you kept it and still plan on rebuilding it.

A old ship, A restoration project and a good cause and amazing mustache 10/10 would join you for a voyager any day, currently studying to be a ships engineer loved the video!

I really enjoy your enthusiasm and perseverance ! Thank you !

You two are doing a brilliant job! More well-restored sail-training ships are needed and you are doing your utmost to take your well-deserved place in this market. I wish you strength, enthusiasm, good health and high spirits for 2024 and a long, busy life for Flying Coney.

Incredible work guys. I enjoy watching your journey and very hard work. After seeing the open plan area, it's going to be epic once finished. And I believe you both have what it will take to bring her back. Good luck and thank you for all your videos👍

Best wishes on your sailboat recreation challenge! I'm genuinely happy for you. I'll be eagerly following the upcoming episodes of your adventure all the way from Brazil.

You guys are amazing. The large task to take on but you’re gonna have a beautiful home when your done.
