lovely I can understand your excitement, what a beautiful finish inside, the woodwork is George's, and the mast is huge and a nice complement for your new boat
You are the true pioneers of documenting sailing adventures, so many now but you guys are the genesis pre you tube 👍🏻. Looking forward to your adventures especially with more northern hemisphere 👍🏻.
What an exciting time. We usually call into the Netherlands every time we are in that part of the world. Haven't been for over 7 years, but we were right there on your launch. We were on the DFDS North Sea ferry at IJmuiden.
Thanks very much! Yes we were very happy to see @SailingUma (who came from Sardinia) and the @OddLifeCrafting who drove up from France to celebrate with us! ❤️ And we're very excited to start sea trials!
You've inspired others. OLC are building an aluminum boat. Delos are making plans for an aluminum catamaran. The ability to venture to a different type of location. Also a special type of maintenance vs wood or fibreglass or carbon.
The engineering on Distant Shores is just exquisite. Every little detail is addressed. I understand why you had them execute all your hopes and dreams in this new vessel. I can’t wait to see all your videos to come as you explore the north seas of the Atlantic.
Hey Paul & Sheryl...! thank you so much for this special splash vid... with the cruising notables at the Christening I would be disappointed if they were not a little bit envious... Really looking forward to more DSIV vid... Un question: I know you have the Diesel/electric hybrid (Cudos)... Seeing the engine keys I see it the Diesel is a Yanmar (the reason I have electric now)... Will you have to use DEF...? And, if so where will the DEF liquid be stored onboard...? Also, do you plan to motor sail and implement the electric regen...? I would really like to see someday a vid on the special propulsion and the special advantages... Fair Winds...
Thanks for your kind words @geezenslaw Yes we also are looking forward to making videos on the hybrid system. It does have regeneration capacity which we are very interested in testing offshore with our Bruntons Autoprop. All together we have high hopes that the hybrid will cut down quite a lot on our diesel use! We'll definitely make videos featuring the system.
Congratulations on the launch. You have poured decades of Cruising experience, and quietly considered deliberations into this design. It looks great and most importantly I hope it works for you as you anticipated, and more.
Good question Fabule... We are planning a Norwegian cruise this summer hopefully heading on north to Svalbard. We'll see about future plans north after this summer
Congratulations 🍾🎊 are you planing to disclose costing of the boat, we are planing to follow your path. Thanks so much for sharing your endeavor with us😊
Distant Shores V splashed. Tally Ho splashed! Salt & Tar has been sailing for over a years - (maybe 2?) ... and is on the Pacific side of Mexico. Now we need a pirate fleet meetup, mashup! - Rum rations authorized!
Congrats to the new boat. It will be fantastic to follow along on your next adventure. Thanks for sharing the construction of the unique aluminum yacht. Cheers.
Congratulations! The boat looks great, I am very happy for you and I look forward to following your continuing adventures on your new sailing vessel. Cheers
When it's so beautiful you must touch it to also feel the beauty. To all of those, in the path of totality, who witnessed the cosmological marvel, we know video and photos just do not do an eclipse justice. It's 🤯. Thanks for sharing. I'm happy for the two of you.
I am so excited to see the boat finally in the water, I almost cried. I am over joyed for you it must feel great to have the boat in the water. I look forward to the day I get my first new boat. Happy sailing to you both!
Hi Paul and Sheryl , congratulations is so wonderful to see you there. Yacht going in the water where she belongs splashdown. I’m so excited for you guys. I can’t wait for all the ventures did you have I’d like absolutely love sailing and unfortunately I lost a leg in a truck accident in 2018 makes it very hard to get around anyway enjoy probably needs a few more bits and pieces and the rigging in the sales and why are you go Cliff from Australia, hopefully one day will see you both in Australia
I’m very happy for you. I wish this boat becomes a new happy place for you in an endlessly interesting journey. Best wishes to you, and looking forward to new videos.
Such a beautiful boat! It will last basically forever being aluminum. Love the design and the way it looks compared to all of the other aluminum boats that Odd Life Crafting did a video on last week.
This boat looks like it can go anywhere in the world. I can't afford a custom boat like this. (I'll "just" get a production boat - God willing - something like a smaller Allures or Borreal... one fine day 🙏).
Can't wait to follow your future adventures on this global explorer! Godspeed.
Thanks very much Patrick😍 We'll keep an eye out for you this season. I would be nice to meet up.

Gratulerer!
Fantastic ship :)

Will you be tackling the Northwest passage with the boat?

How exciting. Beautiful boat. I am sure it was a lot of work (and expense). Congratulations and may you have many exciting journeys.
Yes, please more videos on using a sextant. Best of luck on new bat adventures.
We watched the eclipse from a few miles to the east in Stoney Creek. What a beautiful boat! Can't wait for the tour when she's finished.
Congratulations and I'm excited to see your new adventures! Also interesting timing with Tally Ho!
Congratulations nice to see you finally in the water look forward to your new adventures 😀 😊 😄 🙌 ☺ ✨
Congratulations for the nice new yacht. Enjoy the new adventures and remain safe.

Thanks Dennis for your kind words! I hope you get your first new boat 😍
Congrats, what a milestone! Great boat. Might have to swap that dime for something else as they no longer have silver in them since the late 60's!
Thanks!
I hope the gods will understand the Canadian government saving money on the 10 cent piece 😂
Been watching since the Med. I cannot wait to see your next adventures. God bless.
Super congrats guys. It’s been a long time coming. Cheers ❤️🙏
A big congratulation. I wish you all the very best on your new adventures.
Fantastic boat! Congratulations, and have a safe voyage across the seven seas!
Let me say the shots of the eclipse exquisite the best I've seen I think! The boat is outstanding Good luck to you!
Wow, thank you Rex! It was a challenging shoot and we had to buy extra filters for the camera to shoot the eclipse.
Fantastic boat!

Thanks Jan. Yes we appreciate Oddlife sharing!
Finally!
Congratulations Guys. All the best for the future crossings. Jai Shri Ram.

I can't afford a custom boat like this. (I'll "just" get a production boat - God willing - something like a smaller Allures or Borreal... one fine day 🙏).
Congratulations guys this is the best boat of all 👏
Thanks friends! Great thinking of our time together!
Would love to hear your views on the pros and cons of a deck-stepped versus keel-stepped mast on a boat of this size.
What a magnificent boat
