I'm generally speaking not a fan of "modern" yacht design, but this yacht is more than just easy on the eye, it's beautiful. I'm sure that you didn't miss it in editing, but just look at how little she disrupts the water that she's in. Barely a bow wave and no wake to speak of. Form and function. I wish you guys all the best with your new vessel. Well done!
This just shows the benefit of moderate displacement, moderate beam and a long waterline. For contrast my boat is 3m longer, has 0.5m less beam and is about the same weight and sail area. As a consequence she is easier to sail and faster with lighter loads.
She's a beauty. For some reason I was drawn to the solar arch / davits - just the single elegant support leg each side instead of a forest of tubes. I'd be scared to sail her, she's so immaculate!
That is without a doubt a beautiful boat and she is aluminum which means she go everywhere, north to the Arctic Circle and south to the warmth of the Southern hemispheres sun.
Congratulations! Over 20 years of enjoying your content. Had the pleasure of meeting you multiple times at the Annapolis Boat show. What a beautiful boat, wish you wonderful times on her as you take on new adventures. Thank you for bringing us along virtually.
She is beautiful! Congratulations. You chose the right builder and design. The interior is finished perfectly. We share your pride in our new "adopted" boat.
35 deg apparent or so and 9 kts. Just spectacular! Add in cruising gear weight and may drop A touch, but monohull can handle weight well! So happy for you both on your next chapter!
congrats, she's beautiful! lots of my favorite YT channels are going with aluminum boats(both single and multi-hulls)...can't wait to see this Orion 49 cross the Arctic circle !
That is some sturdy boat out there! Great stuff! Nice to see her sail and nice too see you guys being so happy. And..... it is finally nice weather in the Netherlands🙂
We visited your yacht a couple of weeks ago when we sailed to a harbour in Makkum. She is really beautiful at the outside❤ and inside evenmore beautiful.
Congratulations, I have been following enksail since years but this is first time we able to see more in every details. thanks for sharing with us. in future I would love to hear the sailing performances polar scheme, I am extremely impatient to see you in open waters and the performance of Orion 49. Wish you smooth sailing forever
What a wonderful result you got there! And so quickly! I'm sure it wasn't that long ago when you announced the new boat project! 😄 Hoping to see you somewhere some day! 🙂 If you visit Finland, just give me a "call"! 😊
WOW! Simply wow! - The beautifully documented build of Distant Shores IV is the icing on the cake after several years watching projects on TH-cam. “Methodical Madd’s” and his “oh glorious sanding” has shown what a dedicated amateur can truly achieve with an old GRP boat. Leo on Tally Ho, a master of his craft, who along with his North American team of phenomenal craftsmen have fabulously and methodically restored a $1 abandoned wreck. Now Enksail have combined modern CNC and traditional skills into a work of art.. Thanks to the kind generosity of Sheryl and Paul, I have been able to view Distant Shores IV from both the outside and inside. From the fairness and engineering of the aluminium hull to the exquisite design and quality of the interior - the only words I can find are “awesome”, “stunning” and “masterpiece”. Enksail must be very proud of their workmanship quality and rightly so. The smile they have placed on both Sheryl and Paul’s faces will not be disappearing anytime soon. 😁
Truly an amazingly beautiful sail. The interior is remarkably clean and to the point. We loved all aspects of this top performance cruiser and are all wishing you both a lifetime of HAPPINESS.
Hi Paul, and Cheryl, wow what a wonderful day moving on to the new yacht finally after a few years of planning and building I’m so happy for you guys. Congratulations. Keep up the good work always enjoy the videos , Cliff from Australia
The boat looks amazing! Congratulations to the 'interior designer'!😉 It's a fair bit of heeling for 10-12 kts of wind. Also, 9 kts of boat speed with that kind of wind is pretty impressive. It's about 'hull speed'.👍 No telltales on the sails?🤔
Impressed more ways than one... What an admission... All those previous DS yachts and no AIRCON... Wow... anyway, you guys deserve this boat for sure... I'm really interested in how the propusion Hybrid and the PV/LiFePo4... Fair Winds...
excited for you both and i appreciate being allowed to experience this journey since day one of the build and most certainly looking forward to more content, may your beautiful build be safe and secure for the adventures ahead. may the spirit of the sea's be kind. And to the boat builders it was insightful and a privilege to watch them express their craft and skills in the construction of this beautiful vessel thanks once again, till next time stay safe.
Congratulations to both of you, and to the build team. The boat looks absolutely fantastic! Thanks for sharing the whole design and build process with us. Enjoy ⛵
Congratulations! It is a beautiful boat and I look forward to watching all the travels you two have in this fine craft , thank you for sharing this with us all.
Hi Sheryl and Paul, I would like to congratulate you and the team that built this magnificent yacht. I hope she has the ISO 12217-2 certificate which is very important for commercial sailing yachts sailing in European waters. Recommendations from the videos I have seen: 1.-Very important not to leave 90 degree edges on the corners of the instrument consoles and accommodation furniture, which can cause damage to the navigator in adverse weather conditions. 2.-Lithium batteries should be housed in a closed, fireproof and ventilated box. 3.-The wire of the handrails should be with a nets for the child passengers safety. Have great adventures sailing on this beautiful boat!!
l watched all your episodes with much anticipation. And I am not even a boater. I hope you all get at least 20 enjoyable stress-free drama-free years out of the boat.

Welcome to the dark side.👍👍😎
To Ronald and all of the Enksail staff who had a hand in designing and building this beautiful sailboat. Job well done. 🫡
She's a beauty. For some reason I was drawn to the solar arch / davits - just the single elegant support leg each side instead of a forest of tubes. I'd be scared to sail her, she's so immaculate!
Congratulations! All the planning and years of experience that you put into the design has certainly paid off. She is beautiful.
I’m so happy for you both. It’s been a long project but it’s finally here.
Thanks for having us along!

Great to sea you enjoy it. I saw the original (or first) one in Dunkirk and the owner told about your plan build one as well. Indeed a very nice ship
The boat looks amazing! Congratulations to the 'interior designer'!😉
It's a fair bit of heeling for 10-12 kts of wind. Also, 9 kts of boat speed with that kind of wind is pretty impressive. It's about 'hull speed'.👍

Acho que a partir de agora esse é o meu novo veleiro favorito!
Parabéns!!!
Bons ventos!
