More and more the Centerboard design makes so much more sense. .. This was an absolutely gorgeous boat. I really quite like the Garcia's, Boreal's and and a few others. The Dashews FPB KETCH "Beowulf" is arguably my favorite though I don't think that has a lifting keel but averaging 250 - 350 nm days in total comfort is something you really can argue with.
Great video, you made the UK look so nice, not always an easy job. Nice to see the Solent in your video, I live on the Isle of Wight which was in the distance as you passed the car ferries. :-)
Great video. Now I understand why you sold your last Southerly 49, before I really thought it was the perfect boat. I see the pilothouse, very helpful indeed. Also nice use of your new drone!
As usual great vid, I liked that you cover different boats and went for something new like catamaran. Looking forward for your next vids. Thanks a lot.
Felicidades...!!! tambien , muy buen video como siempre, mi vida esta cambiando al ver estos, tengo un barco de motor y me cambiare a velas, un abrazo desde Miami, USA.
hmm.. This yacht looks really awesome.. but you didn't talk too much about it :) Hope in the next video you will give more details, tech and experience ones. Can you sail such a yacht single handed? (I know - it's big, but super modern at the same time)
Nice videography! Will you be able to easily remove the mast of your new sailboat to sail canals and such as you have with your current boat? Will you be selling your old boat? I know Sailing Doodles and Fun with the Pfeiffer's will both be in the market for a bigger boat. Both involve dogs and Pfeiffers have two children. Being able to get in close to the beach with the removable keel would be an advantage (but after looking at your web site not sure which boat you might be getting rid of, I see I, II, III....).
Curious as to why the switch from the Southerly to the Discovery? Also if your pockets were a bit deeper which boat would be next? And on an unrelated note, for some reason my Distant Shores subscription keeps vanishing, but my others still remain.
Hi Joe, Discovery are a bit "traditional" in a good way and build quality that is tried and tested. So I am sure these is a good reason for the winches. On this boat all 3 white sails (main, self-tacking jib and genoa) are roller-furled so these winches will only be used to hoist sails at the beginning of the season. Furling and unfurling main jib and genoa will all be from the cockpit. I think you might be also using these winches for spinnaker, and for controlling the poles to pole out headsails.
I am confused. You sold your original boat you built, bought a southerly ......and now you are test sailing other boats and saying your new one is being built. Did you guys sale your new boat and buying another one?
ToastandJam52 Specification of the 48 foot version: Infused composite construction with structural foam core. It's a very very very desirable boat for myself too!
Ha I was correct on my comment on your last video. Now you are thinking about a long sail on a cat. Once you learn how the modern cats do not bang as much as the older SA boats, you will be moving to cats. LOL. OK bring on the haters. I know I will get crucified on this channel for speaking blasphemy by talking well of a Catamaran.
Yes we're planning a long sail on a cat! And i hope you don't find haters here on our channel 😍❤️ But we aren't planning to buy a cat... just sail one on a long trip 😇
Not meaning they hate you guys. Just the whole mono vs cat debacle. Love the Discovery yacht. Shoal draft keel? No more retractables? I have been a fan since your original DVD from the bahamas. You guys inspired me to start my channel/life. It cost me a marriage. But so be it. I should be afloat again this summer.
This whole sailboat VS catamaran debacle you are always creating when you post. And yeah, I'm sure they are thinking about buying a catamaran which is why they are buying a sailboat from Discovery (insert facepalm)
As we get older we learn patience and spelling. I think you meant "Whole" as in inclusive, not "hole" as in a doughnut. Anyone who has been around the sailing genre well knows the endless hours spent by folks debating "Cat vs Mono". But it is all good. You do you. (insert facepalm).
Interesting you would bring up spelling since you can't spell catamaran correctly but instead writes cat, and cat is not short for catamaran either, however, _cat'_ is, note the difference. A cat is something completely different from a cat', a cat is a four legged animal. People will always be debating sailboats and catamarans.

Lovely footage England sure is a beautiful country : ) hopefully I will be able to visit some day.
Discovery would be my boat of choice as well! Congratulations and fair winds!
Love the Vlog - anyone interested in seeing our stunning Discovery 55 up close - we recommend this video! Thank you Sheryl and Paul!
You're welcome 😊

Yay! The suspense is over! Congrats on he new project! The Discovery boats are really great boats!
Thanks Ryan! Yes the Discovery team build a very finely finished yacht!
Loved it like all your other videos, but this one was not long enough.....
Cheers
Swany
Thanks Paul 😊
Very cool low tide shots. I wish we had that here. Definitely a cool boat. I wish for a mainsail furler sometimes.
I have seen "Discovery Yachts" before very luxurious,you did a nice travel depiction of the local scenery, Cows,Donkeys etc I like that.
Glad you enjoyed it Truth Seeker 😊 The New Forest was cool (horses etc) and the Cornish coast is just amazing!
lovely video
Thanks Nick 😇
I know you have gone through the building process a few times, but this still has to be exciting.
Great video, you made the UK look so nice, not always an easy job. Nice to see the Solent in your video, I live on the Isle of Wight which was in the distance as you passed the car ferries. :-)
Thanks Richard! 😊 The weather was so great during our visit and spring flowers to nice! Next visit we will get to the Isle of Wight for sure!
Great video. Now I understand why you sold your last Southerly 49, before I really thought it was the perfect boat. I see the pilothouse, very helpful indeed.
Also nice use of your new drone!
As usual great vid, I liked that you cover different boats and went for something new like catamaran.

Thanks a lot.
Good job with the drone Paul! 👍
Thanks Geo! We're just getting into it and practicing over water :-)
Thank goodness you finally got a drone and it seems Paul likes to fly it.
I'm having a great time with it!!
Felicidades...!!! tambien , muy buen video como siempre, mi vida esta cambiando al ver estos, tengo un barco de motor y me cambiare a velas, un abrazo desde Miami, USA.
Great job! The drone footage was really cool.
Definitely want to see the new cat!!!
Thanks for this video. I want to change my life and do things like you do. :)
You were so local to me! Shame I didn't know you were around!!
Awesome video as usual :)
Thanks Chris 😊
P&S...good to see you're sticking with a monohull !! (yes, I know the debate rages on..) Cheers, P.
Sailboats are all monohulls, anything else is either a catamaran or a trimaran, those are different sailing vessels altogether.
Discovery 55 is my Dream yacht lucky lucky you
hmm.. This yacht looks really awesome.. but you didn't talk too much about it :) Hope in the next video you will give more details, tech and experience ones. Can you sail such a yacht single handed? (I know - it's big, but super modern at the same time)
If I could have a sailboat, it would be that one.
Do a review on a Hallberg Rassy 55,,, wow that's a real sailboat !
what happened to te low draft boat it was a southerly right ? that was a very beautiful and a curious boat with that kill !
I love your videos, I have one question though. What drew you to Discovery yachts? What made you chose one instead of an Oyster or X yacht?
Sweet! Is the new boat going to have a retractable keel? Your series is really selling me on the advantages of this feature.
Yes the new boat will also have "variable draft" 😊
Nice videography! Will you be able to easily remove the mast of your new sailboat to sail canals and such as you have with your current boat? Will you be selling your old boat? I know Sailing Doodles and Fun with the Pfeiffer's will both be in the market for a bigger boat. Both involve dogs and Pfeiffers have two children.

Awesome video. Thank you. When are you setting up a Patreon site?
Yes, they are from the States. How do we know? Wine in the fridge

Hello, I am a big fan of your videos. But I had a question on how you put an image of your boat over a map. What program are you using? Thank you.
Thanks Rafael. We use Final Cut Pro on the Mac for editing. For complicated effects we use Apple "Motion" to do maps and layering...
The mast-mounted winches seem a bit old-fashioned in this era of 'all lines led to the cockpit.' I wonder if there's a good reason for them there....
Hi Joe, Discovery are a bit "traditional" in a good way and build quality that is tried and tested. So I am sure these is a good reason for the winches.
On this boat all 3 white sails (main, self-tacking jib and genoa) are roller-furled so these winches will only be used to hoist sails at the beginning of the season. Furling and unfurling main jib and genoa will all be from the cockpit. I think you might be also using these winches for spinnaker, and for controlling the poles to pole out headsails.
Plus, I imagine, if the windlass conks out, one can run a rope rode to the mast, and crank.
Great video! Did you guys just buy a catamaran too?
😇 no we visited the Discovery Yachts factory where they were building one...
I see. Fantastic videos, by the way! You guys are truly inspiring to me.
Hey where's the new boat?
What gear do you use for filming and editing your videos?
p.s. Love your channel!
So will you be able to beach your new Discovery 48 that your getting? The same as the Southerly?
7:30 hi i should buy a cataraman or a yacht?
I am confused. You sold your original boat you built, bought a southerly ......and now you are test sailing other boats and saying your new one is being built. Did you guys sale your new boat and buying another one?
is your new boat a cat or a mono hull?
Why did you decide to go for the Discovery? Do their hulls still have the balsa core?
ToastandJam52 Specification of the 48 foot version: Infused composite construction with structural foam core. It's a very very very desirable boat for myself too!
15 years?, and you only have 23k subs, sorry i don't understand.
before youtube because they document their voyages and share them on their website and also DVDs
Ебать, заверните мне 2))) оч классная яхта, я бы на такой всю планету исколесил
