I'm generally speaking not a fan of "modern" yacht design, but this yacht is more than just easy on the eye, it's beautiful. I'm sure that you didn't miss it in editing, but just look at how little she disrupts the water that she's in. Barely a bow wave and no wake to speak of. Form and function. I wish you guys all the best with your new vessel. Well done!

This just shows the benefit of moderate displacement, moderate beam and a long waterline. For contrast my boat is 3m longer, has 0.5m less beam and is about the same weight and sail area. As a consequence she is easier to sail and faster with lighter loads.

She's a beauty. For some reason I was drawn to the solar arch / davits - just the single elegant support leg each side instead of a forest of tubes. I'd be scared to sail her, she's so immaculate!

WOW! Simply wow! - The beautifully documented build of Distant Shores IV is the icing on the cake after several years watching projects on KZbin. “Methodical Madd’s” and his “oh glorious sanding” has shown what a dedicated amateur can truly achieve with an old GRP boat. Leo on Tally Ho, a master of his craft, who along with his North American team of phenomenal craftsmen have fabulously and methodically restored a $1 abandoned wreck. Now Enksail have combined modern CNC and traditional skills into a work of art.. Thanks to the kind generosity of Sheryl and Paul, I have been able to view Distant Shores IV from both the outside and inside. From the fairness and engineering of the aluminium hull to the exquisite design and quality of the interior - the only words I can find are “awesome”, “stunning” and “masterpiece”. Enksail must be very proud of their workmanship quality and rightly so. The smile they have placed on both Sheryl and Paul’s faces will not be disappearing anytime soon. 😁

Hi Sheryl and Paul, I would like to congratulate you and the team that built this magnificent yacht. I hope she has the ISO 12217-2 certificate which is very important for commercial sailing yachts sailing in European waters. Recommendations from the videos I have seen: 1.-Very important not to leave 90 degree edges on the corners of the instrument consoles and accommodation furniture, which can cause damage to the navigator in adverse weather conditions. 2.-Lithium batteries should be housed in a closed, fireproof and ventilated box. 3.-The wire of the handrails should be with a nets for the child passengers safety. Have great adventures sailing on this beautiful boat!!
