Been so busy at work I missed this episode until just now. Good stuff as usual Paul and Sheryl. I am really impressed with your night time shots. My camera really fell short in the low light starlight footage. The nights were so breathtaking and its great that you were able to capture it. Thanks for the memories.
Awesome 👌 Super 🆒️ 👌 👏 👍 Enjoyed the video tremendously and surprised/disappointed by the lack of comments and likes. Your videos are by far the BEST ones out there 👌👌👌👍👍👍👏👏👏 ✌❤🍀 🌬⛵
Thank you for the respectful detailing of the man overboard. Sad to hear and it hilights a real (possible) danger of sailing. I wish more sailing channels would wear life vests as you folks do. That cat sure is a beauty boat. Thanks for sharing.
5:27 that sky looks beautiful and the sea. the shot is great but sadly it came after the news of a man falling overboard never to be found. I watch a lot of videos regarding through hikes, aircraft piloting, and paramotor flying, all with beautiful views such as the ones we can see on your channel. It's a nice break from reality. Wonderful! Thanks so much.
Liked the transition form caught Mahi-Mahi to yummmm dinner! The video was fantastic! Life at sea with good company seems like the perfect life style. Got so many questions but will eagerly wait for the next edition.
Enjoyed watching the crossing on the very beautiful boat. I always learn something watching your videos so thank you for that. Can't wait to see your new boat. Cheers
Second fish is a Wahoo. Bill Cullen here, the cockpit shade guy from Horta. Fantastic video production from Paul. Top notch. And Paul, that drone sure is nice compared to the "GoPro on a stick". The one thing I noticed is that the stove top is not gimbaled, is that right? Is there a way to keep the pots on it is the seas pick up?
Well, I know you two are probably up in Taranta freezing your butts off at the boat show, however I have to say I loved watching your crossing and the weather with you. Must have been rough out there with no purser, valets or cruise directors about but it looks like you brought the entire kitchen staff from the Love Boat. By God that food looked good.
haha no Toronto was last week Ed! This week we're in Dusseldorf freezing our butts somewhat less at the boat show in Germany :-) And we're missing the great food we had on the cat!
Fantastic video!! So now the 2 million dollar question; you gonna buy a cat now? 😉 Out of the many cats I've seen, this particular cat is very impressive!! Thanks for sharing. 😍⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
great episode, it looked like everything went very smoothly on the passage. Congrats on your new Southerly being completed, and have fun at the boat show. Cheers from PEI , Bryan
Nice video, Paul. Would you have any remarks os issues to point about your first multihull experience? Everyone knows that you are a monohull sailor, but also that you're a technical and detailed observer of any features, good or bad, any boat can show. Tell us about it!! Tks!!
Thanks +Elsuntan! Yes the cruise was great. But it definitely affected everyone on board when we heard about the man overboard and our sympathies are with the survivor.
This is a very beautiful dreamer's catamaran but the big news for me was Paul's Southerly 48 is finally ready for viewing at the boat show! It is now my favorite monohull and it's Paul's fault....
:-) Hi Ed... we did an update on our website with recent shots of the new boat - and will post more next week from Dusseldorf... distantshores.ca/boatblog_files/southerly-480-construction-distantshores-update.php
Sad that the MOB was never found. I wonder what he did wrong to make that mistake. Great vid even though I too would have liked to see that boat preform under some heavy winds
You're right it was unfortunate there was so little wind that year. We really wanted to see what a good fast cat was capable of on the Atlantic! Our next crossing was much windier but we missed the opportunity on the cat :-(
Nice video, nice boat and looks like an nice passage. Congrats and thank you. How long was your passage. You have had great food ;) By the way, how much gaz did you use on the passage for the kitchen? We will get our new catamaran next month but not the brand. Have a nice sailing trip.
I would love some fresh sea fish like that!!! But I'll never be on a boat in the ocean... Physically not happening... I'll just have to buy mine at the store... LOL,LOL
Hi Paul, great video set on another wonderful yacht. One thing I don't remember a comment on is that horrible deck slap most Cat's seem to get under some sea states, how did you find it on this Cat? Cheers
It had much less slap that the cat we chartered. I think it is always a factor but mitigated by higher clearance and good design. In this case we didn't go upwind enough to test it very well for that :-)
RE: Man Overboard - We ALWAYS not only have our Mae West on when topside but also ALWAYS have our marine handheld waterproof radio attached to us and fully charged. IF you go overboard you can see and direct your ship to you easily and/or call for help. Our waterproof radios were always in a waterproof bag as well. They have DSC, GPS etc. At night (or if the weather kicked up) we also had fanny packs with pen flares, strobe light, knife, spare radio battery fully charged of course, large strong trash bag and space blanket, line etc... You can sew gear into the Mae West vest jacket and have essential gear there...
Great Video! also that is a sweet ride. You will be welcome on my shakedown cruise in a year or so. I am doing exactly what you said not to do and I am building my own. A Richard Woods "Tamar" I am just starting to go through your you tube videos and hope to learn lots from you.
Great video, a small bit of advice, next time you do a galley video to show how beautiful the cat is, do it in the daytime, much easier to see and appreciate.
Glad you liked the vid Marklinman1 ... actually I had already done a comprehensive tour earlier a few days ago. I should have linked that in. My thought was to also show what it looked like on a night watch and through in some of my comments after having experienced her. I will add a Link to that tour. Thanks for your comment!
Absolutely loved this series on the crossing.

Great job, loved watching all 3 chapters. Great pictures and loved the music back round.
Awesome 👌 Super 🆒️ 👌 👏 👍 Enjoyed the video tremendously and surprised/disappointed by the lack of comments and likes. Your videos are by far the BEST ones out there 👌👌👌👍👍👍👏👏👏
✌❤🍀 🌬⛵
Thank you so much 😀
By far and away the best sailing videos out there. Good luck with the new boat and we look forward to seeing her at Dusseldorf.
Not only a beautiful boat - man you guys are like Royalty the whole trip !!
Thanks for another great video. I'm so excited for you both of you to see your new boat finished.
Really enjoyed watching the three videos of your crossing with the Cat. Looks like a wonderful boat.
Thanks David! Yes we had a great time and the boat was amazing but just wished we had a bit more wind :-)
I enjoyed all 3 parts of your transatlantic crossing. I am looking forward to your videos of your first and many adventures on your new boat!
Thanks "Dogs" we look forward as well :-) and welcome aboard.
Thank you for the respectful detailing of the man overboard. Sad to hear and it hilights a real (possible) danger of sailing. I wish more sailing channels would wear life vests as you folks do. That cat sure is a beauty boat. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome Keebler!
Magical! Well produced and thanx for sharing
Fair winds
Thanks for sharing these 3 episodes.
How lovely to have a welcoming party.
Really enjoyed that Paul and Sheryl... See you in T.O. on Sunday
The food on this passage looked at good as it gets. I get hungry on every episode of this series !!! ⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓
Oh man.......................these cat videos you made are so great!!!

We can't wait either :) Glad you enjoy and learn something too... thats our goal!
Great 3 part video. My dream cat for sure.....
Great Video, very nice boat glad you had a safe trip.
Great series fair winds and following seas my friends
Absolutely awesome!
Thank you for Another great episode
Wonderful series, thanks for the journey!
Wonderful.
Very enjoyable episode, Zao, looks like a great boat. Weight loss + professional chef on board, :-)
Thank you for these videos about crossing the Atlantic, hopefully I will get to do the same one day!
Intense episode .. wow, Orion's belt was the most vivid I've ever seen on a video 🌬🌬 ⛵️ ⛵️ 🌎
Thanks for noticing Zone :-)

We'll you're not roughing it. Great trip!
I bet the new Mark 3 version of this cat (2022) will have high freeboard’s.
Now that is some of the best gimballed camera work on water, I want that life......
Considering the light winds, you did pretty good completing the crossing in 21 days.
Well, I know you two are probably up in Taranta freezing your butts off at the boat show, however I have to say I loved watching your crossing and the weather with you. Must have been rough out there with no purser, valets or cruise directors about but it looks like you brought the entire kitchen staff from the Love Boat. By God that food looked good.

Thanks Bryan :-) yes it went quite smoothly - could have used a bit more wind tho'
Thank you for sharing this beautiful Planet 🌏🌎🌍 to the Planet ❤👏👍👍 Hugs from 🇺🇸🥂🍻⛵⛵⛵
Nice video, Paul. Would you have any remarks os issues to point about your first multihull experience? Everyone knows that you are a monohull sailor, but also that you're a technical and detailed observer of any features, good or bad, any boat can show. Tell us about it!! Tks!!
great crossing !
Hi Paul, after this experience, would you have ordered a Cat instead of a new monohull instead? Cheers, Richard
That’s a Nice boat 👍👍👍 prefer a monohull yacht , but it’s a nice size for a cat.
Good for you,very nice life you have.
awesome video :) sounds like somebody likes catamarans :)
I really enjoyed the video, very relaxing. Shame about the couple and the loss at sea.
Thanks +Elsuntan! Yes the cruise was great. But it definitely affected everyone on board when we heard about the man overboard and our sympathies are with the survivor.
All the way under perfect weather. Anything gone unpleasant sir?
Me encanta...Espectacular
Parabéns, pela travessia e pelo vídeo...
This is a very beautiful dreamer's catamaran but the big news for me was Paul's Southerly 48 is finally ready for viewing at the boat show! It is now my favorite monohull and it's Paul's fault....

Thank you Paul !
Sad that the MOB was never found. I wonder what he did wrong to make that mistake. Great vid even though I too would have liked to see that boat preform under some heavy winds
13:07 I was taught that overhead hatches, portlights, etc., should be closed when underway due to the swamping risk.
All that boat & no wind to make it perform, what a "snoozer". I coulda transited in my 18 foot monohull under those placid conditions.
You're right it was unfortunate there was so little wind that year. We really wanted to see what a good fast cat was capable of on the Atlantic! Our next crossing was much windier but we missed the opportunity on the cat :-(
Nice boat, lucky people
Fantastic 🎉
Jesus, please take me sailing next time. The food looks fab!
Nice video, nice boat and looks like an nice passage.
Congrats and thank you.
How long was your passage.
You have had great food ;)
By the way, how much gaz did you use on the passage for the kitchen?
We will get our new catamaran next month but not the brand.
Have a nice sailing trip.
Glad you enjoyed it Philippe! The passage took 21 was for 3000 miles :-)
I would love some fresh sea fish like that!!! But I'll never be on a boat in the ocean... Physically not happening... I'll just have to buy mine at the store... LOL,LOL
See yaa in Düsseldorf!
Hi Paul, great video set on another wonderful yacht. One thing I don't remember a comment on is that horrible deck slap most Cat's seem to get under some sea states, how did you find it on this Cat?

It had much less slap that the cat we chartered. I think it is always a factor but mitigated by higher clearance and good design. In this case we didn't go upwind enough to test it very well for that :-)
Thank you..
How many gallons of fuel did you take? I was wondering also could you estimate the number of hours and/or days you used the motor
Has there been any news since, about the man over board?
Looks like this cat sits very low in the water everytime you show the water is over the over the stripes or up on the back steps.
RE: Man Overboard - We ALWAYS not only have our Mae West on when topside but also ALWAYS have our marine handheld waterproof radio attached to us and fully charged. IF you go overboard you can see and direct your ship to you easily and/or call for help. Our waterproof radios were always in a waterproof bag as well.

You can sew gear into the Mae West vest jacket and have essential gear there...
What about having a chain or a line attached to the back, I'm planning to solo sail the Atlantic ?
How did you find the accessibility to engine compartments/electrical etc - was it 'user friendly' so to speak.
All the systems installs were well thought out. Engines are in separate aft compartments and with excellent access.
Can you give a ballpark price for your new boat.
Very enjoyable! What was the second fish?
As +Bill Cullen says it is a Wahoo - they're delicious!
Can the helm be enclosed?
How much is this catamaran
Great video. But is that cat +million$
Great Video! also that is a sweet ride. You will be welcome on my shakedown cruise in a year or so. I am doing exactly what you said not to do and I am building my own. A Richard Woods "Tamar" I am just starting to go through your you tube videos and hope to learn lots from you.
Thanks for coming along! Good luck with your build :-) We did have fun building the boat...
Love the boat, but all that sushi grade fish turned into "Fish n Chips"
I dont think Mahi and Wahoo are really sushi grade. Great for fish tacos though.
why do a cabin lookabout during the night ? ... errr cant bloody see
Great video, a small bit of advice, next time you do a galley video to show how beautiful the cat is, do it in the daytime, much easier to see and appreciate.

Do you feel one person can sail this ?
One could sail it I suppose (not with the spinnaker) but bringing her into a dock definitely requires some help. Why not bring a friend? ;-)
The antifoul looks like its not high enough
I agree the antifouling could have been a bit higher. But as we set off from Ls Palmas we were fully loaded for sure :-)
Wish to see more videos with younger couples.
Ahh, luxury sailing at it's best. Love the Ikea chairs!
It was a gr8 cruise Brian :-)
IKEA chairs in million euro boat 😂
Actually I find the IKEA chairs cheap looking on a million plus yacht......
I know what you mean but they are quite comfortable :-)
John M the price for the standard 50 cat is tad over 1M, with the bluewater package my guess is that this is a 1.2M boat.
John M nah, keep dreaming! But for 1.2 million dollars there's other boats I'd rather have and still have plenty of money left over
Comfort has nothing to do with money.
You guys have a really bad diet ;-)
