This Yacht is Sinking! Loading on a Ship for Yacht Transport, BRNKL review | EP 212

[@FoleysAdventures]

Literally watched this yesterday, and didn’t say anything to my husband. Today while at work, he calls me to say he found your boat sitting our favorite Seattle marina…. He had no idea that you’d sold it and sent me a pic. The boom still has your name, but the boats’ has changed. Can’t wait to watch your new journey, we have a three year countdown to sail away.

[@corujariousa]

Great for that owner that you were there and alert. Congrats!

[@dimabrinza]

Good luck on your new journey!!!

[@stilcrazychris]

It's nice to know that folks lookout for eachothers boats when your away. Very nice indeed. I can only imagine how you felt when your boat was being lifted on to the shipping boat. It was intense just watching it. Now it's time to start a new adventure w/your new faster boat. Looking forward to seeing that stage of this new project. Have a wonderful day, God bless, Chris from Missouri

[@davidc6510]

Ah Panama in rainy season - all that fresh rain water is what makes the Panama Canal function. Great episode. Good Bye DS 3 and a eagerly anticipating a hello to Distant Shores IV

[@tomwilliams8675]

Wow, a new story begins. I can't wait 😊

[@ezzetalkaptan9402]

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. The very best of luck with your new boat.

[@DistantShoresTV]

Our pleasure! Thanks Ezzet!

[@coldnorthadventures5905]

Hey guys, that was very kind of you to help your neighbours.Good luck with ''Distant Shores 4''

[@davidzaharik5408]

So much fun to watch .... we shipped our Boréal from Ft Lauderdale to Vancouver in 2020... thanks to covid.... but, what an adventure.... it truly was...

[@reelhappytravellers2691]

Great times!! And, obviously as a, as two people who like to travel around ourselves a lot, I think the Earth is a beautiful place. And, we're looking forward to some new perspectives.

[@markhwl8345]

Awaiting Distant Shores 4 👌

[@Tomm9y]

That's a wrench leaving DSIII in a foreign country up in the air. I look forward to your aluminium boat build, the deliberations, considerations. Appreciate the videos as always.

[@DistantShoresTV]

Yes it was strange. I wanted to see it actually strapped down.... Glad you're enjoying the vids :--)

[@thomastaylor6991]

I literally love all the Distant Shore boats you guys have shared.

[@EricEpstein]

Always wonderful to watch your videos. I'll miss seeing videos of Shelter Bay.

[@DistantShoresTV]

Thanks Eric!! It is a magical place and it was great discovering it with you!!

[@williambunting803]

That was a good moment saving your marina neighbor’s boat. A beautiful hull to see Distant Shores from below, though I can see that your new boat will be faster.

[@jurduyn1130]

Great to hear that you made a wise choice by building #4 in aluminum and by a Dutch builder....looking forward to the building process👍

[@sausage5849]

Farewell Distant Shores III, looking forward to Distant Shores IV. Please bring her to visit us in the Pacific!

[@Cptnbond]

That was a fantastic view lifting Distant Shores III on the transport ship. It will be fascinating to see more about your next fitting-out episode and (hopefully) also some more about the yard building process. I have always been a massive fan of aluminum yachts, particularly for high latitude cruising. Cheers.

[@DistantShoresTV]

Glad you enjoyed it Sgt-Bond! more coming up!

[@CorniliusDimworthy]

Good luck with your new project.

[@deningman]

I hope the Aluminium build is an enjoyable journey. I'm looking forward to seeing the build process.

[@viacheslavfadeev7951]

Hello from fans from Russia! We will miss the Distant Shores III !

[@NJ-Cathie]

Bittersweet watching DS being loaded. She is just a beautiful yacht.

[@edrosenberger6947]

Wish she was coming to my port and as my boat. Great episode....thank you!

[@mortenua8979]

So nice episode! And a lot of information by the way. Thanks and good luck with the DS4 building process!

[@tomriley5790]

Good lesson that fresh water floats on salt - I'd have made the same error and thought it was fresh (although alot of it!) hauling it out seems like the bst plan well done! Must have been an odd experience leaving the boat you've been living on for so long! looking forward to seeing DS4 being built!

[@jdownin]

Good luck with your next project. I do enjoy your videos! Looking forward to following the build process and your sailing adventures in the future!

[@gidge34]

What an adventure 🤙 looking forward to the next ship.

[@metekarabicak]

You guys are amazing. We are waiting for "distant shores 4". Stay with beauty.

[@Duh6666666]

Wow, great video to cap an era, fair winds for the follow-up!

[@DistantShoresTV]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@music-man]

Oh guys kind of made me sad seeing seeing your yacht in the sling. Its your journey with boats that make it so hard to say Farewell. Really looking forward to looking at your new build. cheers to you both. xx

[@lukequinn6195]

I'm very excited for the build project

[@garethgoodchild2643]

Wow, that was very interesting seeing DCIII loaded onto the ship. Red Baron usually gets hoisted 20 feet but not 40!! Too bad about the Dutch boat sinking but it looks like they left in a hurry and leaving the bilge pumps turned off was taking a big risk. Have fun.in the BVI. Great memories of 2017.

[@DistantShoresTV]

Hi Gareth!! Yes it was unusual to see DS3 hanging like that. Great memories from BVI back in 2017. Hopefully this impending snowstorm doesn't hold us up :-)

[@rogerhuijbens4990]

Welcome to the Netherlands. :)

[@peterfree5639]

Cant wait to see the new boat

[@SailingMarieholmIF]

Nice video and welcome to The Netherlands

[@Maria-qh6ce]

Building an aluminum boat is a great topic! I'm looking forward for the new episodes and getting tips to improve my boat.😃

[@DistantShoresTV]

Thanks Maria - Coming soon! Do you have an "alu" boat yourself?

[@Maria-qh6ce]

@@DistantShoresTV I have a Alubat Ovni 435 from 2002 called Tatooine who needs some updated. I am looking forward to see what you plan to install in your new boot.😃

[@eduardovega6136]

Excelent video you guys are legends !!!! ,

[@DistantShoresTV]

Thanks Eduardo!!

[@Skewjack1971]

Bon voyage DS 3

[@scyz2807]

I really enjoyed this episode! So glad you helped save your neighbor's boat! But there's a big lag in time here, right? It seems that DS3 would have been put on the ship in July 2021. All this makes me wonder if Distant Shores IV is now complete or close to it? I guess we will find out sooner or later. : - )

[@tm502010]

Great stuff!

[@DistantShoresTV]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@andymarshall2201]

When do you expect to take delivery of DS4?

[@googleaccount6761]

Wow! Seems like y'all just had 3 built a couple years ago.. now comes 4. Awesome, love the choice though for 4, aluminum is much more suitable to expedition exploration than any other man made materials. I learned when wood gets wet it freezes and by doing so it becomes heavier than you want lol. Anyhow, please show all the nitty gritty details please, I wanna see all that can be done to make her a rock solid vessel!

[@Grandliseur]

Good you could prevent the other boat from sinking! Not easy for the owner if he lives in the Netherlands. Is that the same as the Underworld?!😁😏

[@spagirl1]

I LOVE your show on AWE. When will more current shows (2021-2022) be airing??? They showing 2015 shows now, so there's atleast 5 years of shows I'm missing.

[@DistantShoresTV]

AWE have right up to 2020 shows... right up to sailing to Panama and through the canal. I'm sure they will be playing those... They have been broadcasting our program since way back in 2006. We love them!!

[@tartansailor]

I am glad that you wore your CPS shirt... BTW, hopefully DS4 sole will be quieter than DS3... Cheers, Richard

[@MsBfromtheD]

When you've spent so much time on your boat, how do you decide what you keep and what stays with the boat?

[@dinghyride]

Great episode! But man, those squeaky floors in the SW’ly. That could get old :)

[@ektalon1]

I've watched only about three DS episodes (sailing to the Caribbean more than once), so the questions that I have may have already been answered, but what made you decide to sell DS3, why build in aluminum, if DS4 is a mono, cat or tri, why, especially since you seemed so impressed with the Neel tri?

[@Nerd3927]

Are you still in the Netherlands? I will be there in Makkum late May 2022 on the hard at Gebr. van Enkhuizen shipyard.

[@DistantShoresTV]

We may be there in May SV Adma. We've made a few trips...

[@cliffm7082]

Hi, great videos - just subscribed - question? what is your opinion on catamarans - many sailors have switched to Cats - wondering why you have not? Thanks!!

[@DistantShoresTV]

We’ve done a few videos on our Catamaran experiences including skippering a 50 footer across the Atlantic. For us though I think it’ll always be a mono 😅

[@sartwelljl]

Is there a way to get a rough price on what the cost is to ship the yacht? I imagine it is based on pick up and delivery locations, and also the size of the yacht.

[@DistantShoresTV]

Its based on the size of the yacht most of all since that's how much deck space it will take. For Distant Shores III Panama to Victoria Canada was over $24,000US.

[@sartwelljl]

@@DistantShoresTV Thank you for your reply, and many Blessings on the building of Distant Shores IV

[@deancaulkins1551]

Make those Dutch boat builders wince...6 inches less freeboard, 2 feet more beam and a soft chine.

[@RickMentore]

How long do you expect the custom built to last?

[@michaelvanwinkle7919]

When you get undersail with you new boat, will you start numbering the episodes to make it easier on the viewers?

[@svgitana2499]

You guys go thru boats like I go thru wives!! I don’t know which one is more expensive 😂 Ok, jk…..been married for 22 years 😇

[@lvdriver4]

What yacht transport did you use?

[@harleysoltes]

Do you have recommendations on yacht transport companies or the method of selecting one?

[@DistantShoresTV]

Hi Harley, I would recommend a close look over the contract and talk with the sales reps. Some seemed to over-present their offer. They are trying to assemble a bunch of yachts for their route then chartering a ship to fit them all. Very few actually own the ship. If you wanted to ship from Europe (say NL :-) to US west coast then I think they would be actually shipping from EU to US east coast then a second leg from onward to destination. Have you considered sailing to Caribbean then shipping on from there?

[@harleysoltes]

We are signed up for ARC Plus but also looking at Plan B just in case. Never know with pandemics and politics what can happen. Most brokers recommend 7 Star as they run their own ships.

[@sphinx2k210]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but what brand are your chin-strap sailing hats?

[@DistantShoresTV]

Tilley hats :-)

[@gymcoachdon]

@@DistantShoresTV I have the LTM3 Airflo by Tilley...expensive and worth every penny. My go to hat for canoeing, sailing, hiking or anytime I need sun/rain protection. The strap system is the best, quality products from a quality Canadian company.

[@robertdunlop993]

Just kinda wondering, when you contract a shipping company to transport your vessel like that (particularly once you have sold it) are you responsible for arranging the departure papers or do the transport company (broker) arrange them? Looking forward to seeing the new build 😁

[@worldweary1913]

if you leave your boat shut your thru hull fittings, why risk it?

[@triskelworkshop2855]

Hi, Just for your info ....Chipolbrok is not a ship, it is a Chinese-Polish Joint Stock Shipping Company.

[@DistantShoresTV]

Thanks Triskel. Indeed - our ship was called "Chipolbrok Star"

[@andrewlabat9963]

It wouldn't have been easier and cheaper to hire a couple of people to sail it right up the coast to Seattle? just wondering because I have no idea..

[@dougdekuiper3194]

👍

[@dougmarder]

Farewell DS3, we hardly got to know you!

[@DistantShoresTV]

Luckily we made lots of videos about her to remember her by :-)

[@Willgrf]

Why is your floor sooo creaky?

[@worldweary1913]

lots of real wood, swelling it seems.

[@chilly6883]

New owners? What will you be sailing now?

[@thearchibaldtuttle]

Maybe the water has risen, that's why you cannot see the line anymore I'm just kidding🤣🤣

[@agentdouble-osoul158]

I think I’ll fall asleep now….

Sinking? Boy, that's a big clickbait claim if I ever saw one.

[@MetalMike50]

Did you even watch the video?

[@oceandrew]

@@MetalMike50 Do you like being lied to? In the title no less??

[@jenniferlawrence1372]

@@oceandrew I don’t understand. The boat was literally sinking.

[@oceandrew]

@@jenniferlawrence1372 No, the yacht is being hoisted in the air. The ship it's being hoisted onto may be sinking but it sure doesn't look that way from the photo.

[@jenniferlawrence1372]

@@oceandrew That’s a different part. At the beginning of the video, the boat next to them in the marina was sinking. Paul and the marina guy get on it and try to troubleshoot the problem.

[@lutomson3496]

Yacht? Pfff boats with a few yachts this boat is not a yacht posers not needed

[@DistantShoresTV]

Yes it sounds funny referring to a yacht but in Europe its a common expression to define much small smaller sailboats as "yachts" if they are for pleasure (instead of working boats)
