If aluminum is lighter and stronger that fiber glass, what are the advantages of fiber glass boats over aluminum boats? My buddy was saying aluminum is even cheaper and quicker to build. I am not an expert, just look for knowledge.

Howdy hey there Paul & Sheryl. As usual these vessels are way out of my scope. Notwithstanding, this is nothing but sailor eye-candy something to clear the mind of modern troubles. Looking forward to your final analysis and design of your next Distant Shores. Fair Winds...
No one builds boats like the Dutch! Thank you - I’ve sailed extensively through these areas and have seen these boats from the outside - its great to see them inside! It will be great to see what you do build.. likely the benchmark for blue water sailors thereafter..
The interior decor on the Orion 49 is quite beautiful, particularly the modern galley with gray tones. The pilot house on the Stadship 56 has a wonderful shape.
Just watching my second Distant Shores video. I don't know why it took so long for DS to pop up in the algos, great to meet you folks. Obviously you are a true lifelong adventurers who began decades before the TH-cam phenomenon.
As a sailing Dutchie loved the episode. Loved Hero as a good Entlebucher mountain dog on the feet of his boss or protecting the boat like our Entlebucher Laika does. Curious already about the next episode ☺️.
This family is blessed -- these designers followed their passion and the results are absolutely magnificent. Thank you for a great video. Your music choice for the interior tour was perfect ! 🙏. So few things to appreciate in this new ugly world - but this was a delightful momentary escape. Thank you again. ❤️
There is beauty everywhere if you look for it, especially in nature. Turn off the news/newspapers. Their job is now to inflame more than inform. The former is very bad for your mental/spiritual/physical health.
I suppose many would disagree, but I have always thought the Noordkapers to be beautiful, especially under sail. I even like the reverse incline pilot house windows in front. Seems like the boat I’d want to be on in the worst of weather at sea.
Thanks so much for the new upload! We were going thru UWS (Upload Withdrawal Syndrome 🤣) in anticipation of your search for your new “perfect” (for you) SV. The NL certainly has a cadre of fine metal builders geared to navigating shallow as well blue waters.👏👏👏
This builder is perfect for you, Sheryl's smile says it all. Glad it's just modding an existing design and won't be too much time and effort before your boat is ready and exploring can begin. Ronald seems like a top can-do bloke, and the extra focus on servicability is obviously a huge bonus.
Beautiful boats. Nice rounded edges on the furniture and fittings. Some boats I would shudder to take it out in a seaway, one lurch the wrong way and you better be able to be medivaced because of cracked/broken ribs, or worse, from catching yourself on a sharp edge/corner. Best wishes all, from Northern Canada.
Ciao Sheryl Ciao Paul If u are still in the Netherlands, do some km to north of Germany and try to have a look to Sirius yachts shipyard. The do 40 footer which is super smart
So interesting. I have been looking for a cross between the Amel 55 or 50 and the Garcia 45. Totally automated single-handed sailing with the advantages of an aluminum shell and retractable keel. Both have safty but I really love Amels totally protected cockpit, in-mast furling mainsail for instant reefing, and its all-electric sheet and furling system. That said I love Garcias retractable keel that gives you 3.5 feet of draft(!), duel-level living space that puts you at a 270-degree view with the nav station smack up front for night watch. Both vessels have excellent safety features, watertight bulkheads, redundancy, diesel and water storage. I think I am looking for either an Amelcia or a GarAmel :)
If ever convenient would love to see a video on the most available "most shallow draft" boats. From my perhaps-unsophisticated perspective there is only one place to sail. The lower Bahamas. 😊
Available where? If you go look in places with big tides (france, belgium, netherlands), you’ll find many centreboard or long keel boats that can fall dry : a lot of custom designs, but also production boats like ovnis, koopmans, boreal, garcia, allures, noordkapers, puffins, atlantic yachts, bekebrede designs, madaillons, van de stadt-designs, berckemeyer. There are also many boats with shallow drafts thru tandem keels and such (etap, dehler,…) they would all do well in the bahamas😊
Paul, How did you decide on the Orion over Bestaever? Both great boats but given all the video you have shown us of the KMY operation it would be great to understand how you made that final buying decision.
Hey guys i m watching ur quest for new boat btw ur previous boat was very close to good boat ... i was wondering what u guys think about step on the deck with small step on the weather deck the stern of the boat became high enough for all u want u can put big dinghy garage and 2 cabins , now days we got that amphibious vehicles called quadski so if u have 1 of those in garage u can be able to have transport on water and land it have dimensions almost like 325 williams tender but ll add weigh on the stern good luck on finding good boat builder ....
I am pleased to see the Orion 49, a boat which I am interest in myself. But why would you consider a swing keel a new extra feature? Does the Orion49 not have this as standard feature?
Hi Sheryl and paul,🐬⛵️🦋 I was wondering when you go sailing ⛵️ with other people on there yachts,do you say anything to them that I would do that different or I would have done that a lot earlier. Because you are both such great sailors. Take care 🐬🦋⛵️🍷🍷🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘
Thanks for the kind words Paul!❤️ Sometimes we do offer suggestions when we sail with people if they are new to their boat. But with Eeuwe - he has sailed his boat for 15 years and 10s of thousands of miles offshore. Since he also built the Statdship himself we were are interested in learning how he modified and adapted his own boat over the years. Its quite an advantage to own a boatbuilding company and he used his boat as a test bed for some new ideas.
Our boat is scheduled for completion in summer 2023 with the next build slot later 2023. The price point is over one million but we are doing a lot of customizations. I’m happy to discuss more details or answer questions via email at distantshores @ rogers.com. Thanks for your interest, David.
I like it very much Aluminium boats, as i have a 15-meter masthead cutter. Something I learned many years ago from Joe Adams, an Australian Yacht designer, the swing keel design has a significant drawback. That is if the keel is up into a hull slot the Slot or cavity for the keel when it down acts as a bucket and affects the performance of the swing keel design boat. SV. Skoiern IV
Interesting. I have actually been aboard a Nordhavn 56MS and it was luxurious inside! Definitely a motorsailer for sure. It is much heavier and has less sail area than the Stadship or the Orion. Perhaps the Nordhavn has bit more in common with the steel Noordkaper although I think even that has a higher SA/D ratio (Sail Area/Displacement).
It's a way to point out defects the yard will be addressing. So whenever there is something missing or that the owner doesn't like they mark it with tape and a note. Im many instances the tape marked a teeny scratch so small I didn't even see it WITH the tape.
You don't take dogs or cats with you on a long trip! The dog has little opportunity to walk, has to do its business on the deck or wherever, and cats have to stay inside! What shoud that? On a short boat trip of a few hours, dogs are fine, but when people are on the Atlantic for weeks, dogs don't belong on the boat. Here you can see that these people only think of themselves!
It’s just 20 days in a dogs life…not the end of the world. People don’t like to sit still for 20 days either, but they manage just fine…dogs can adapt just as well as people, cheers.
This was very special….many many thx for this !

Beautiful boats! Distant Shores IV is going to be spectacular. We hope to see it in person one day. That would be a dream come true.
The woodwork on that boat 🛥 you were visiting was just amazing. I cannot get over the workmanship.

Yes, most production boats seem to be made for nice weather daysailing.
Is the normal incline for a better aerodynamics?
Been there lots of times. Groetjes uit Nederland ;)

The do 40 footer which is super smart
Love your search. Great content! Look into self standing rig. It’s a tremendous advantage when offshoring long distance cruising. I think
ein Traum von einem Schiff....👌
One can dream! Wow!
Nice boats and what a cute couple
Shucks... Thanks guys 🤗
The Orion 49, at first glance, reminds a LOT of Steve Dashew's recent powerboats (which of course are heavily inspired by his sailboats).
What a fantastic channel, glad to sub!
Lovely boats! It would have been nice to have seen a bit more of the inside fo the Stadship though.
I've always loved the garcia exploration 45 and 52.

Look at alubat 58, that’s an aluminium amel with a centreboard-option.
Thank you.
Beautiful boats. The competition in that neighborhood is second to none. Question, do you have a preferred sail plan. Sloop, cutter, solent, or…?
If ever convenient would love to see a video on the most available "most shallow draft" boats. From my perhaps-unsophisticated perspective there is only one place to sail. The lower Bahamas. 😊
Cats or tris….
@@holmalbrecht425 Great question. Both perhaps ? I presume Cats more expensive.

@@donaldvanvliet9039 👍 and 🙏
Can you please do a video on how to use The capstan Of a Windlass for docking or other sailing procedures?
Hello Willy how are you doing😊
Paul, How did you decide on the Orion over Bestaever? Both great boats but given all the video you have shown us of the KMY operation it would be great to understand how you made that final buying decision.
The Orion 49 has a huge technical/engine room for a 49 foot boat.

Is Prudence headed to Seattle? If so we will keep an eye out for her while sailing Puget Sound.
I am pleased to see the Orion 49, a boat which I am interest in myself. But why would you consider a swing keel a new extra feature? Does the Orion49 not have this as standard feature?
We have redesigned the swing keel making it shallower at 1.3m. Also the swing part is now heavier at over 3000kilos and more than 3 m draft.
That is a smart improvement. Only 1.3 m draft and increased righting moment makes it a even more attractive boat.
Tillers are the best!

I think some of the boats built by KM Yachtbuilders such as the Bestevaer, can have a non retracting swing keel.
That's why for example Finot-Conq designs (Pogo 50 etc.) have no trunk in the hull and the keel just folds under the hull.
KM, Enkhuizen, KM ... dear couple, what's it going to be?
You should go to see very interesting new design the Ismeria 59 and Ismeria 47
Quality boats
👍👍👍👍👍
It’s hard to even comprehend having to go “up” to sea level.
👍👍
A Nordhavn 56MS could have been in the Scope aswell? (Motorsailer), Big sail

Perhaps the Nordhavn has bit more in common with the steel Noordkaper although I think even that has a higher SA/D ratio (Sail Area/Displacement).
I wonder what the purple arrow in the head points to…
It's a way to point out defects the yard will be addressing. So whenever there is something missing or that the owner doesn't like they mark it with tape and a note. Im many instances the tape marked a teeny scratch so small I didn't even see it WITH the tape.

does the dog ever get seasick???
what`s about the flag behind you it's samller to flag of yemen?!
Dutch build is the best
Well it’s not pretty but it’s a tank
LOL which one is "tank-like?
@@DistantShoresTV The first one in the video
How much... uh, never mind. If you have to ask, you can't afford it. Beautiful boats though.
Dog-stacle course!!
LOL indeed
what kind of dog is in this video?
It's an Entlebucher Sennendog.
Horrible music.
You don't take dogs or cats with you on a long trip! The dog has little opportunity to walk, has to do its business on the deck or wherever, and cats have to stay inside! What shoud that?

The owner doesn’t do long sailing trips with the dog as far as I know. He’s a part of the family and seems to enjoy day sailing 😊
It’s just 20 days in a dogs life…not the end of the world. People don’t like to sit still for 20 days either, but they manage just fine…dogs can adapt just as well as people, cheers.
Have you looked at the Garcia Exploration 45? Fantastic boat that has a centerboard. Very smart layout too.
Hello how are you doing😊
