- Our new Southerly 480 sailboat is ready for the water! Distant Shores III is transported from the shipyard to Saxon Wharf to splash creating havoc with the traffic in downtown Southampton. Then it snows! The mast is stepped on the boat and Paul carries out a traditional Coin Ceremony for good luck on upcoming voyages.

Thank you for watching!
Sheryl and Paul
Congrats guys, that is just fantastic! Fair Winds :)
Thanks very much Delos-crew. We admire your work. Perhaps Distant Shores III will catch up with SV Delos in the Caribbean somewhere. It would be great to do something with you guys!
Distant Shores TV
I really hope so.
SV Delos is my inspiration to reconfigure my current land crab settings 😁.
I should be happy enough to have the luck too live in Sweden in the summer and migrate to Thailand 6 months over the winter. But hey, I’m human and striving to improve 😎
Ohh, if you ever start to complain about the heat on your journey, than just look at this vid and recall that you wanted hot co co instead of chilled Champagne. That will cool you off😁.
Interesting though, they missed to tighten a (very) important plug 😳
Also, I would never imagine that a new boat would be delivered in winter time😳. But hey, it’s all about experience 😉.
Fair winds
Congratulations , I know you're very proud , and She looks to be shaping up , to be a beautiful vessel ...I know she is anxious to serve you well .. Fair Winds and following Seas.... May God's grace be upon her.... and all that sail upon her...
Thanks Braavos for those kind words ❤️
Wishing you fantastic joy from the Canaries ,and your father would of been so proud in you holding up the traffic in Southampton
Thanks Paul. Glad we managed a little bit of weather for you, just to make you feel at home! What a boat! Congratulations to you and Sheryl! Fantastic job by Discovery Yachts too. Lucky for me I have been invited to have a little tour this coming Thursday, really looking forward to that. Thanks for all your wonderful videos. We are all looking forward to seeing the final commissioning and then your continuing adventures of course. With fair winds and following seas, though DSIII will handle much, much more I know. Good luck to you both.
Beautiful guys. Great to see her in the 'mess' of commissioning since you will be maintaining her and you will have a great idea where thing are and how they run. Cheers and congratulations on DS3 from PEI, Bryan
Beautiful boat. Fascinating to see how the mast is held.
Congratulations! May your sails always be full.
What a lovely boat.. I love how light and airy the interior is... :)
Fair winds Distant Shore lll - beautiful
Thanks for sharing this experience with us. From one proud Canuck to another! Cheers! That is one fantastic looking vessel!
Congratulations guys. Love the more candid nature of this video. You seem more at ease and if feels less staged. Love the attention to detail Southerly have done to the headliner. I’m not sold on the relays, over standard three way switching, but can’t deny the added convenience. Bring lots of spares, but I know you two already know that. Can’t wait to see the shakedown cruises. Fair winds.
She is awesomely beautiful....inside and out !! Discovery does great work! Thank you Paul for taking the time to shoot this video.
I bet it smelt soooooooooooooooo!!! Good!!!!! Nice love that feeling of something so new and amazing.
Absolutely beautiful boat, Paul. Can’t wait to see April’s video.
Thanks Thomas ❤️. We're looking forward to April too!
Congratulations on your new and beautiful boat. Fair winds!
Absolutely amazing boat. Fair winds and following seas.
Congrats again. Great to see the steps along the way. Julie and I head to Denmark next week to do the handover of our boat. We met you two at the Dusseldorf Boat show as our boats were next to each other.
Thanks John, and congrats to you too! Have a great time!!
Beautiful yacht. Looking forward to Day 1 of sailer her.
Fantastic! Distant Shores III is beautiful, and I'm looking forward to your video of the shakedown cruise!
Thanks Mike! Yes we'll video the shakedown for sure!
Paul, this new craft looks GREAT! Eager to see how she sails. Congrats!
Paul and Sheryl, this is a beautiful and fantastic boat. I am so happy for you , I can’t wait to see you navigate again soon.
Me and my husband will certainly want to see the Southerly 540, and we hope they will present it soon (maybe Next Düsseldorf ?).
Congratulations again and Buon Vento from Italy....
Yes. The ceiling technique with the removable panels, etc. Very good!
A lovely boat, it really did get cold for the couple of days you had - I visited the yard late last year and was very impressed with their build approach and quality. Really looking forward to your future voyages!
Welcome to our British spring weather. Love your awesome boat btw
Never heard of the coin under the mast before, stepping mine soon so will follow suit. Very exiting watching a new boat being commisioned.
Distant Shores III is fabulous!
Thanks Kia❤️
It is a wonderful boat with a beautiful hull, and having already been aboard I can say that the interior is luxurious. You are both going to have so much pleasure sailing on her. Congratulations!
What a cool looking sailboat. Southerly does a great job with their design.
What a dream, those lines are gorgeous and the wrap around window almost looks like sunglasses or something. Reminds me a bit of a cartoon eagle like from the Philadelphia eagles on the side profile, very neat!
Completely fabulous Paul! Can’t wait to see Cheryl too on board! Till then cheers 🐨
Fantastic boat - Congratulations! I look forward to following along with your adventures on it. Gotta admit though I was amazed that the thru hull fitting was incorrectly installed and that there is 'room' for a coin to be installed under a mast. Great video and I can't imagine outfitting a boat with 'all the stuff' an ocean away from home. Safe and smooth travels to you and yours. Have fun!
Your joy is obvious! Looking forward to your many wonderful voyages.
Beautiful boat. Congratulations. Thank you for the detail in your videos and sharing the launch. Felt like I was there freezing with you. looking forward to seeing where she takes you.
Thank you for sharing this exciting moment with us!!! How appropriate she was first christened with snow- very Canadian!
Thanks E - yup it was colder in UK than in Toronto that day I think :-)
What a beautiful boat! A big congrats to both of you! See you in the Pacific!
Congratulations on your new boat and it's launch. many happy miles and smooth sailing to you.
Thanks Stephen - fair winds to you too!
Brings back memories of my own boat that I built. 48 ft loa Cotten steel. Aluminium mast. Sold her after a couple of years but sailed BC waters in Canada.
What a fascinating video - thanks for sharing Sheryl & Paul. Your heart must have been pounding through these final, critical stages of commissioning Paul. Could the weather have been more challenging? Quite a sight to watch. I knew she is a big yacht, but this was the first time I truly appreciated her size. Most impressive! Fingers crossed for all involved that the project continues to go smoothly and we see her under full sail soon. Best wishes, Gavin & Amanda.
Thanks Gavin and Amanda. She sure did seem large squeezing down country roads overflowing the side of the truck😅
LOVE THIS! Thanks for sharing! I really love the different ideas we "boaters" bring to the building process. This also reminds me of the 1970s when I wanted to learn about boats and worked in NO LA USA at Youngs yacht sales and boatyard for about 3 years. We built all of the NY 40s (sailboats) for the NY Yacht Club. It was one of the top boatyards in the USA. I started out doing bottom jobs (and operating the hoist / crane) and worked up to driving our 18 wheeler and yachts cross country. I drove the NY 40s from New Orleans LA to Sturgeon Bay Wisconsin for a custom interior and then picked up the one I dropped there on my last trip and took that one to Rowayton Connecticut to drop for the NYYC. No rear wheel steering. I had to jackknife the trailer at 90 degrees and then spin it on a dime to work it under the travelift. Then I would drive to Tampa Florida, pick up a big 40 or 50 ft Yacht (Endeavor or Gulfstar etc) and take it back to New Orleans LA. About 4,000 miles and 80 hrs of driving wide loaded (the boat was high and wide at the top and super long with the mast hanging over the tractor and off the back of the trailer = lots to look out for) and then I would do it all over again every 2 weeks. O. J. Young now has a place around Houston TX still doing boats. Ahhhh now you too can understand some of the memories this video brings back for me.
Congrats on a successful launch.
Beautiful, looking forward to the future videos!
Fantastic!! Enjoy!
Just catching up on a bunch of your videos, some many awesome episodes mates.
Thanks Eric! Perhaps we'll catch up this winter in SXM!
Looking forward to getting you all back on the water.
Great filming. Thanks
Congratulation! It was nice meeting both of you this weekend. Safe sail and good luck with everything.
The English sure know how to make sailboats, she is a beauty.
Congrats!
Congratulations! She is beautiful and your christening ceremony, without Sheryl, was slightly sad with the frigid cold. Perhaps a "redo" in warmer climes!
Incredible to me one of the most beautiful sail boats, good luck to you on your journeys
Thanks for the kind words Cliff...
So excited for you guys, Paul with all that accessibility inside the boat I am sure you will have lots of jealous sailors out there!!!!
The journey continues. :)
She is a beautiful boat... congrats
Thanks Morris!
Wow this is splendid news! Can't wait to see her next phase of commissioning and then getting her underway. Let me know if you need a hand... :-)
Congrats!
wow she beautiful, love how the interior is fastened like car door panels I think we will be pinching that idea when we refit my friends boat. looking forward to seeing your adventures I'm hoping this year will be the start of mine.. Namaste 🙏
Fabulous boat, it must be very exciting being this close to being ready to sail away.
Great video love to see the process of the commissioning.
congratulations on a successful launch - your video production techniques are looking much more modern - well done
Awesome to see the process! Thank you.
Beautiful boat. Great lines. BTW, I do have a 4K monitor and have enjoyed your 4K episodes. All the best.
Really nice boat.. Congrats
Thanks, Jeckmarie!
I never heard of this coin ceremony. Would love to hear more where this originates from. Congratulations on a beautiful new boat!
Thanks Randi :-) Yes the coin ceremony has been around forever (we've done it for all four of our boats) but didn't know the origin either... apparently it originates in ancient Rome!!

Well it's an amazing story and I hope it brings you and Cheryl much luck. Looking forward too your in April!
That was awesome, thanks for sharing!! Beautiful boat, once again congratulations! 😍😍⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Your boat looked great at the boat show
Love the video, always wonderful to see and know the hidden bones of a boat, future maint. Much easier with the knowledge
Congratulations! Suggestion for upcoming video: make a technical episode and just go nerdy nuts with it. You know you’re going to anyways, so when you walk/crawl around as you inspect every inch of that beautiful boat, let us come along. Make it an hour long, I don’t care. It could also act as as teaching moment for what to look for during a new boat inspection. Thanks!
Thank you George :-) I'm definitely planning more tech/nerdy stuff :-)
Paul, you never fail! Long live the nerds!
Can’t wait to see her next month!
I’ve been waiting for this video for what it seems like forever! I can’t imagine how slow time went by for you guys till the day you were able to lunch her 😃
Thanks SV Gitana! Yes we've been very excited and are now really stoked to get aboard to sail in April!
So thrilling, you lucky lucky man. Good sailing.
Congratulations, she's amazing
Well done. It sure beats starting from a bare hull and deck and building it yourself like on Two Step. Those were the days when I followed your adventures by ordering DVD's. Did we start with VCR - to old to remember. Congrats to you both.
lol yes Ron we did start with VHS tapes :) Thanks for coming along on the journey with us!!
Congrats, great looking boat. Don't know if you remember us, we were dock captains at PCYC when you were building 2 Step. Andre & Helen. Following your travels here in FL. Thanks.
very beautiful boat.
So beautiful!
"Woo - Hoo", all the best, Congratulations!!!
Congrats guys! So exciting! Warm sailing is just around the corner
Thanks Craig! Yes we're looking forward to sailing her soon...
Wishing you the very best of luck from Malta.
Thanks Georges - we love Malta ❤️!!
Thanks for sharing
Great looking boat
Killing it on the edit love the music 🎶 💕 saw your video alert and I thought to myself aghhhh it’s chill time
Thanks James! Glad you like it!
Awesome. Long way from Two-Step. Looks like a sports car. 👍👍
Thanks guys - She sure is a long way from Two-Step :-)
Wow!
Incredible coverage of 'getting her into the water'😊👍
Looking forward to your next video😊
(actually quite proud to be an ex pat Brit👍👍👍👍)
Well done chaps!
All love, and best wishes, Claire, Berlin 😘 😘 ✌
Thanks Claire :-) yes your countrymen have built a great looking boat!
looking good
That is a beautiful boat
Trent-Severn Waterway ? You know of course we have a Serern-Trent in England ? Wow , that's a pretty boat.
Love your new boat.
Can you do a video with more information on the lifting Keel? Like what is the backup if the hydraulic fails? Do you have an electric motor as a backup? Is there a manual override to lower the Keel?
Did you have any problems with your previous boats? Like, unable to lower the keel, etc.
Thanks!
Thanks Ed. We've made a number of videos on the functionality of the keel but not the actual mechanics - good suggestion - I will do that. In terms of the backup, yes there is a manual pump to raise the keel by hand in case the electric pump fails. Lowering it is considerably easier - a manual release valve is all it takes.
Beautiful boat
Impressive yacht already.👍
Congrats! She sure is pretty.
Awesome!
She’s a beauty 👍👍👍
Thanks Paul!
great job !
Glorious!
good on ya mate... see you on the water someday.
Good Luck!
That's me the 'British Yachtsman' driving that RIB at 15:20, gutted I didn't know you were around because would've loved to have met you! When are you back in April? and are you back at Saxon Wharf? I remember seeing you guys in the hoist as I was mooring and thinking what a beautiful boat! Loving the videos, keep up the great work!
Awesome video thanks for sharing and all the best .. I'm a BIG FAN .. Looking forward to hear and seeing more in the months to come . ..:-)))
Thanks Cliff :-) yes there is more coming up!
SOOO Jealous, it's such a beautiful boat with all the fixens. Safe Sails ahead EH !!
Nice video, she really is a stunning boat.
Beautiful boat. The English are still wonderful craftsman.
Congratulations on a successful launch.
