Yes definately more of these 'how to' videos. As a single hander using springs, and spring bridles, (set up as slip-lines) is a very useful way of getting on and off a dock. And I am very impressed that you have bow and stern thrusters and didn't use them - that is classy.

Thanks! We're working on more how to's :-) Its been fun getting to know the new boat and I've been practicing the close quarters maneuvering.

Very prudent and safety minded to practice the new boat without the thrusters. You know that things seem to fail at the worst possible time, but you will be prepared. Like the educational videos very much.

The animation makes it all clear to understand. Great job.

Thank you for bringing us with you on your journeys! Please give us more of this!

It is so nice to see how-to videos about sailing! Please, please, please... Keep them coming! We, as a family, love to watch your channel, and look forward to finding a Southerly of our own!

Hey Capt'n Pat. You know I love your vids { HELL of a lot of work, single handing .} My son bought me, us , A C&C 25 about six years ago. He works on the lakers here in Canada. He showed me the spring line and it's importance for all sorts of big and small ship, boat, handling in harbour. Only diff between the big ship lines and ours was , 3" steel and five eight's poly . lol.

Hi Patrick. Yes it is nice seeing you checking out the other channels. Like I've said many times before you are right up there with the best as far as sailing videos go on the net. I knew of, Paul & Sheryl almost 30 years ago in Toronto when they first began there amazing journey. I am meeting up with them in the Canary Islands in November to do the Transatlantic crossing. I will be 27 days with them and I can tell you I am over the moon about it. You take care and keep your videos coming. I do look forward to each and everyone of them.

yes, boat operations and maintenance videos are really great

This spring line to push off a dock looks simple enough Paul.....nice to have Sheryl aboard so you only need to ask once to do something. Your new vessel sure has nice lines. You ruined me on keels and now I only want a swing keel....and cannot find one that I can afford....I think everyone that has moved thru your wake also now wants one. Thanks Paul ;).

48 to 54' Monohull Pilothouse with 14 to 15' Beam (will be my new home), prefer a steel hull but fiberglass is okay.

Another beautiful warm, sunny day in Europe.

Great to see the tutorials on the tricky parts of boating. I'm sure these are simple things once you know the techniques but so invaluable to learn if you don't. Short tip videos are great. The animations really helped. I'd dread those maneuvers at the moment. Nice to also see that even with people as experienced as yourselves that it doesn't always go to plan but your expertise meant that you were able to recover and adapt anyway. Thanks again

Really like how you explain the topic and demon straight how to do it. It would great to see more videos like this. Thanks for sharing.

Many thanks, more please. Emma

Yes please! Love the how to vids.

Oh, and, yes, yes, we absolutely will enjoy more of these seamanship videos. It’s very helpful to watch your practiced, systematic style.

Love the show! Watch every episode on TV. The how to videos online are an added bonus and much needed/appreciated. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and adventures with the sailing community!

Really informative video. It would be great to see more.

Hi Paul and Sheryl... the boat looks amazing. The shot of it at 2:37 in the video is so beautiful. Looks like you guys are getting close for the big voyage.... Can't wait

Guys. Good and informative. Springing off on the bow or stern can get you out of so many tight spots! When coming in to a pontoon or dock the centre cleat first gives the helm the ability to drive the boat or pull the boat into position in wind or tide situations. Be good to see you demo this on your new boat. Left the Solent 1st June currently Port St Denis Bay of Biscay heading South like you. Sail Safe and fair winds. Ant & Cid xx

Distant Shores TV it is certainly a skill to master. I grew up being the line handler for my dad. Now he is gone I had to learn the moves pretty quick. Having no thrusters and a wicked prop walk going astern makes life exciting around structures! I am glad to be on a swing Mooring. Cheers. Wade

We love thought provoking videos; puzzles even if you run into any. Thank you so much for all that you do.

We always love your how to videos. Watching you onTV over the years, you both feel like family to us.

Very Clean Execution of the Bow spring, and Stern pull fulcrum... I'd Keep an Eye on that First Mate There, Keeps wondering back and forth during Crucial Maneuvers... *Have Fun, Laugh Often, Be Careful of One Another* :-)

Well done friends and THANK YOU for the lesson and YES YES YES on more how to vids! Also, nice to see sailors with lPDF's even in calm conditions! PEACE OUT! Ü

We got stuck in France recently and could not work out how to do it! Thanks and yes welcome more how too videos

You blow my mind Paul. I’d be a wreck... and there you are just calmly narrating.

yes please more of these helpful handy instruction videos

Yes please keep the how to videos coming

very good vid. Thank you for posting

Any advice from seasoned salts is always welcomed! Keep the how to vids coming!

Really nice and calm explained and showed. Specifically without Bowthruster. THANK YOU

Thank you for sharing your "know how" - let's get more of them, thanks. We are relatively new sailors and especially docking technicians are something we try to practice. That is definitely something we can use. The boat is SO beautiful and it is a pleasure to follow you from the purchase and to your first trips. Best regards - Mette and Kenneth 🇩🇰

Lovely boot!

yes definitely. Also i was researching Pogo yachts and came across a review you had done...so anything you have to share i find of value.

Awesome video keep them coming, you can never have enough knowledge

Excellent as always. Thank you both. Fair winds.

These are always good reminders and love seeing others techniques.

I just keep saying to myself, "that's such a beautiful boat" Learning a lot about docking!

good job thanks!

💯💣 love your vids

Refreshing to see a cooperative and relaxed couple. I've always seen a lot more yelling and anger between them when docking. I'm guilty of it at least once though. gotten a lot better since we've been watching docking videos!

Another gem for information. More please! Oh, and your boat is not too shabby either. Nice, verrry nice.

Great video and Cheryl is great crew!

I can watch howto videos for hours. Just when I think I know a little something, I find a well done video such as yours that gives another pearl or two. Cheers!

Thank you, good stuff for newer sailers.

I was taking a sailing class today (US Sailling - Bareboat Cruising) and I used the aft springline technique when casting off from a side-tie. More of these videos, please.

Great spring line demo thank you. Just completed my day skipper with the RYA and learned so much. Really nice to see the spring in action from a different view. Keep up the good work

Nice how to vid. Thx.

Yes, please do more "how to" videos.

Informative instruction re lines & boat maneuvering, thanks for sharing.

That's Great your posting thies tips! Nice boat plus the shallow draft is Awsome

Another outstanding You too video

Yes please more how too vids. Always good to add to knowledge from an experienced sailer.

Yes, please! Had a friend delivering a boat who's bow thruster was not engaging. Can happen to anyone. Good to know how to manage without it!

Beautiful boat! I know nothing about sailing and may never actually sail, but I sure do enjoy your videos. Gives a glimpse into an entirely new world...

Thanks for the info. As always I enjoy the show.

Yes, more how-to videos, please! And thanks for this one.

Great instructional video, having the camera up on the mast really helped to drive home exactly what was going on with the boat during the maneuver.

So very well done again and I love that you always wear your safety gear even in the harbor, at all times. That is what my wife and I always did also. I only wish more people, ALL boaters did the same. We know of people, too many, that have died at the docks and when entering the harbor as well as when out to sea. Many were avoidable by simply ALWAYS wearing your safety gear when topside on your boat.

thanks a lot- great video !

Great video, you guys were so calm throughout! Really great to show people a relaxed and coordinated way of docking! Great work!

Thanks, The how too's are great

Paul and Sheryl, Greatly informative video. Keep the info videos coming. Love the several series you guys put together in the Bahamas a couple of years ago. In this current one I LOVE the superimposed graphic of your new boat on the aerial shots. The other thing that would help in spring line and other docking and undocking techniques would be to show the position of your rudders and the direction of the prop thrust on that boat graphic and discuss how rudder position and the prop direction also help swing the boat. Still not a boat owner yet, but its getting closer. "Barney"

"How to" videos are absolutely the best

Yes more how to video's. Thanks for sharing just love your channel.

Love your HowTos. Please share more.

Yes please keep the how to videos coming. Really good stuff.

As a future wannabe sailor pls keep the instructional videos coming!

Thank you. Your video is very helpfull for me as a new skipper.

Really good video on how to use spring lines - thanks heaps!

So awesome! You explained so clearly! 👍👍👍

Love the how-to videos! Found this channel through your anchoring videos.

How to videos are really useful thanks. 👍🏻

Love the video showing how to maneuver the boat.

P&S...this sort of information is excellent !!! We only need look at how people secure dock lines to cleats, to realize we live in an age of "credit card captains" !! How to handle a yacht in various situations, is so very important for people to know. A Standing Ovation from Mary & I !!!

Thanks you guys for the video!!!!!

Thank you. How to videos are very helpful, especially "best practices" videos.

Love your videos. Yes. More how to video please!

Nice! More how-to videos are definitely appreciated.

I am so happy to see you on your new boat. Looks amazing. Thanks for the informative videos. I always learn something.

well done

your how to videos are easy to follow, from people you can trust, keep it up

Excellent video, love all of them. Always good to have tutorials though. Thank you.

Thumbs up...please do more!

I really enjoyed this video and would like to see more like it. Thank you.

More? Yes please.

great instruction video. Although this maneuvers weren't new for me, I like to see others as well!

Love the how-to videos very much....you both make it look so easy!

Excellent tips for docking

Your's is such a beautiful, and well planned boat; I feel good about her being sailed by able, and experienced sailors. A fine example you are, indeed, setting.

Yes, more how to’s. Thanks

Another awesome video - Appreciate your knowledge and willingness to share with the boating community.

Please make other videos on docking tecniques! Thanks!

That bow spring and fender cast-off was the first technique I got taught when I got my first boating license. If you have a rudder that is in the prop wash, steering into the dock will help you turn faster, which is really neat I in a tight spot... :-)

I must say, you produce great How Too Videos, so please keep em coming? Thank you very much
