Join us as we take you through our most intense and eventful shipyard experience yet! Over the course of 11 days, Flying Coney underwent crucial repairs and transformations, from tackling engine room challenges to removing her unsightly mast and applying fresh coats of paint.
We’re giving you a raw, behind-the-scenes look at the highs, lows, and hard work of restoring a historic sailing ship. Watch as we navigate chaotic days, unexpected challenges, and late nights, all while working alongside the amazing team at the shipyard.
From pressure washing to launch day, this video captures the real-life hustle of ship restoration. It’s messy, rewarding, and full of surprises—just like life aboard Flying Coney!

We launch our historic sailing ship Flying Coney back into the water! After several weeks in the shipyard tackling big projects, the time has finally come to complete the last steps and see her float again. In this video, we finish flushing the engine coolant system, prepare for the launch, and share some exciting plans for 2025.
Flying Coney is an 82-foot historic steel ship that we are restoring to her former glory as a beautiful sailing vessel. Once the refit is complete, our dream is to set sail across the oceans, sharing the adventure and teaching traditional sailing skills along the way.
