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

Congratulations! Happy for you!

Congratulations 🎉.. it’s an awesome ship.

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.

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.

Thank you for this nice video

Congratulations!!!

Gratulerer!

Fantastic boat!

Thank you for filming the eclipse as I didn't get to watch it in person. It was beautiful.

Fantastic ship :)

Congratulations for the launch. Will you be tackling the Northwest passage with the boat? Salutations de Fabule.

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 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.

Congratulations wishing all the best, have followed your channel for many years now. May the wind be at your back from one Canadian to another.

she is a gorgeous , and stout yacht that should deliver many safe voyages and adventures!… salute!

Félicitations !

You two are an absolute inspiration! Both as adventurers and as a couple.

YAY! Congratulations!

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.

Congrats!

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.

Congratulations to you two! Well done!

Congratulations to you both

Congratulations!!

Congratulations!! 🥂 ⛵️

Way ta go guys. Glad to see you back on the water

Yes, please more videos on using a sextant. Best of luck on new bat adventures.

Looking Good! Can't wait for the next video.

Congratulations on this beauty of a boat and may you enjoy the miles you will sail to the fullest !!!!!

You have designed and built a exquisite boat, cheers!

Very exciting. The boat looks amazing!

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!

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.

Looking forward to seeing you cast off and following your adventures :-)! Distnt shores IV looks amazing!

Been watching since the Med. I cannot wait to see your next adventures. God bless.

A big congratulation. I wish you all the very best on your new adventures.

Congratulations and I'm excited to see your new adventures! Also interesting timing with Tally Ho!

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!

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😊

IT is so a beautiful boat i see it in Dutch behouden vaart👌👌🍾🍾🥂

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.

finaly you were both expected in new zealand months ago see you both soon

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 was pleasantly surprised that the boat was built in the Netherlands.
