First SAIL and Boat TOUR! Enksail Orion 49 ALUMINUM Sailboat | EP 253

[@davidbrayshaw3529]

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!

[@deerfootnz]

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.

[@carlthor91]

Welcome to the dark side.👍👍😎

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

To Ronald and all of the Enksail staff who had a hand in designing and building this beautiful sailboat. Job well done. 🫡

[@maurolimaok]

Congrats for the new boat/home! It's beautiful.

[@Paul_C]

It is always an adventure when imagining a boat from a drawing, a picture, or even a computer generated walk-through, to the finished product. Glad yours was to your liking.

[@paulalberts7573]

the QUALITY of the woodwork!!!!

[@terriebishopjunkin6882]

Congratulations! She's beautiful and we look forward to following your next adventure! 🤗⛵

[@rayb3117]

That is without a doubt a beautiful boat and she is aluminum which means she go everywhere, north to the Arctic Circle and south to the warmth of the Southern hemispheres sun.

[@timohan100]

Congratulations! All the planning and years of experience that you put into the design has certainly paid off. She is beautiful.

[@philipwright7186]

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!

[@SailingMerewether]

Looks fantastic guys!

[@noorwortel]

We visited your yacht a couple of weeks ago when we sailed to a harbour in Makkum. She is really beautiful at the outside❤ and inside evenmore beautiful.

[@rene318]

[@cestmoi7829]

Wonderful boat and so nice that you share these moments of joy with everyone 🤩

[@chucklesthewondermonkey]

Phenomenal build... she's got great lines. The cabinetry is beautiful. That gennaker is incredible. Job well done - congratulations!

[@man-with-handle]

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. 😁

[@CatalinAcatrinei]

When you said “all lines are free” for the first sail it literally gave us goosebumps. Fair winds, amazing boat!

[@davidnichols147]

Truly an amazingly beautiful sail. The interior is remarkably clean and to the point. We loved all aspects of this top performance cruiser and are all wishing you both a lifetime of HAPPINESS.

[@michaelmccotter4293]

Starship Distant Shores!!!! Wishing you steady endless winds from Anchorage Alaska! Tally Ho!!!

[@ehofman7636]

Watch a beautiful sail yacht you have 👌👌

[@HJ-jg4ql]

Beautiful day on the water! Looking forward to seeing this boat on the ocean!

[@sergest-pierre6160]

Beautiful boat, congratulations

[@marklong8608]

Jaw dropping interior, fantastic choices. It will be a wonderful place to call home.

[@CrustyAbsconder]

l watched all your episodes with much anticipation. And I am not even a boater. I hope you all get at least 20 enjoyable stress-free drama-free years out of the boat.

[@GaryBoyd02]

Looks like a very nice boat. Cheers from West Coast BC!

[@TheTomt50]

Sorry, can't stop smiling watching you two. Congratulations, it's beautiful!

[@DistantShoresTV]

You are so kind… yes we’re super stoked!!

[@lourensjoubert8652]

Well done guys!!!! You guys just dont age!! very jealous and wish you all well

[@shipdesignsafety6663]

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!!

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi Paul, and Cheryl, wow what a wonderful day moving on to the new yacht finally after a few years of planning and building I’m so happy for you guys. Congratulations. Keep up the good work always enjoy the videos , Cliff from Australia
