I watched this with my mouth hanging open. We used to sail a 1979 Southerly 105, and I loved that boat so much, but the new Southerlies are just incredible. Although very happy with our current long-keel 10m lady, I will admit to boat envy after watching this video. So many things that we talked about with our old girl that we'd like to improve, and every single one addresses in the new boat, plus a few we didn't even realise could be improved. Enjoy your beautiful boat, and if you're ever sailing Northern Irish waters, give us a shout.
I'm a regular of Boot, trying bargains in first windsurfing and more recently kite material. The boats there are so magnificent that you cannot resist the dreaming...until you know the prices. This is like a car show with only Ferraris and similar. Great and frustrating at the same time. Beautiful boat you bought here.
I watch a bunch of super popular sailing channels...and ... as entertaining as they are... I am going to throw a giant thank-you at you two. You very professional ... extra super pro.
Paul you looked like a little kid in a candy store with free reign to taste it all. Thanks for the tour! DS3 is amazing! It is great to see all the details that you planed into it and how excited you were to see you new beautiful boat that was almost ready to be delivered! Fair Winds!
This a fine, thoughtfully detailed, safe, spacious, elegant, beautiful---- home in " 'outerspace' oceans"! Congratulations! I hope that you both enjoy it, a lot---- FOREVER!!!!+ FIGHT, to stay healthy---- FOREVER!!!!+, so you will always be able to enjoy it!!!!+ P.S.: Big Thank You, for bringing us the delightful, wonderful Boat Show! I never knew it existed! Everyone has to "check this one out"! God Bless You Both!!!!+
Hey Hi Rick!! Yes we'll be back in the Caribbean by Christmas so must plan to meet up. I've been admiring your Grenada race video especially the drone shot of the beginning!
Good luck with the new boat! Have been following your videos for a year or two now and find them interesting and entertaining. Looking forward to new videos on Distant Shores III!
We took an 8 day Viking cruise from Switzerland to Amsterdam March 2017 and were in one of the only 2 suites at the stern. Along the Rhine River for 1000km. It was amazing. Europe is amazing. Amsterdam is incredible. We live in Canada and our country has it all wrong. Getting on the water is the best. The canals in Amsterdam are totally cool to ride on and the houseboats were also nice to see. Anne Frank and VanGogh and all the other history makes the place even better. Went thru dozens of locks on the Rhine and could and did touch the lock walls.
Awesome looking boat. I love how excited Paul gets talking about his new “toy”; like kid on Christmas morning 😉. Can’t wait to see this boat out on the worlds oceans.
You two turned your passion into a business and ran your business with a passion year after year after year. Enjoy the fruits of your dedication and hard work. Well deserved. Congratulations.
I have always loved the Southerly boats and was very pleased that Discovery picked up the line. Your new boat is beautiful and after watching your videos on its construction I am now convinced I want one for myself. My last boat was a CT47 CC Cutter which was fast, roomy, VERY seaworthy, but the draft at 6 foot 3 inches got me the nick name of "Farmer" in the Pamlico Sound here in North Carolina. As the sand/mud bottom was always shifting and a accidental grounding would happen. I look forward to watching more of your great videos.
I've been watching you folks since I was a kid (and you were much younger too ;-). So happy/inspired to see how you've lived your dream. So happy to see you getting this upgrade. Gorgeous. Love the very effective "crane shot" at 2:48. Had to watch a couple of times to figure out how you got it. As always, super pro work. You did miss the engine/ transmission room, so I'll need you to show that at some point :-) Very excited for you folks. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you.
LOL glad you've enjoyed our work for so long :-) Yes I plan to do many more features on the mechanical systems now that the systems are almost finished. Kind regards Paul
It hasn't happened yet, Frank, but then we have a rule about always wearing boat shoes. The hatch is an escape hatch in case of fire for the occupants of the aft cabin. It also allows star gazing from bed. ✨
Enjoyed your update. I am so excited for you guys and look forward to many new vidoes of your new adventures. DS111 looks like a real dream yacht congrats.
Now that was an awesome way to show a vessel! A great tour Paul and I was overjoyed when you showed us a technical side of your tour. This was the first time I wasn't disappointed by something on a new boat during a tour. This is my dream boat! One thing I would want on that wonderful swing keel is way to mechanically lock the keel in the up position in case a hydraulic bypass leak would start someday. One isn't sailing in to a port with that keel hanging down >10'. I noticed they do have a manual pump in case of a electrical or pump failure. Get them on the stick so we can see her ride the waves ;). Thanks for this tour Paul !!
Hi Ed. Yes there is a method to lock the keel in the up position. You can pump it up with the manual and then put the pin in. I will demonstrate it when we get her in the water - good suggestion!
I would also want to be able to lock it in the down position, and (preferably) in intermediate positions, in case of inversion. In the case of the hydraulics failing altogether, If necessary you could bring the keel up, I guess, by taking a bridle to the stern and winching half way up, then rigging another bridle from amidships and winching the rest of the way up.
Very nice view of the large boats on the Rhein how they “drift” around the bends of the river. Congratulations to your great boat! Always a handful water under the keel!
Captains! If you need someone on board and scrub the boat in exchange for all these fun and learn the knots, let me know once the kids are in college I will join you. Thanks for sharing, beautiful boat.
So sweet and just so well thought out. Theres just so much thought that went in to your new baby. I love the location of your wet gear closet for sure thats just such a perfect location and a real time saver not having to worry about getting salt water in your cabin. I'm really happy for the both of you. I've been a following you guys for a few years. You have such love for sailing and how you treat each other its just so refreshing. I look forward to future videos of you and that beautiful wife of yours Discovering this beautiful planet we live in the planet Earth. Congratulations and Thank you.
That is a beautiful boat! 2:31 - that is bavarian food, when I was in the area Düsseldorf, Dortmund, Cologne the locals, I ask for some typical local food, said such things don't exists. So I got told there is no culture in that area, it was badly destroyed in the last war and in rebuilding it became multiculture. Some locals even told me food as local food that is originated in the countries from where the workers came. So, may this is a place in the middle of Germany where you find something from all over the world, that was my Impression!
That keel is very trick, would have loved to see the engine area I'm a mechanical person and get interested in how they design the area. Beautiful boat Sir!
Love the hob and the cooker. The aft cabin is fantastic. If I got a monohull I'd want a large aft cabin. The boat is beautiful. But I think I'd still like to get a catamaran. I've worked on the road for so many year, living in a camper. I've learned I want ROOM. I think having room when you're gone on a trip takes a lot, of stress away. But having more room is more to clean! So it is a catch 22 situation. Good luck with your new yacht, and may you have great sailing!
awesome. more geek out videos please. looking to see what communication gear you install and what other options you put on the boat. and cant wait to go to this show next year.
A beautiful boat ... the fit and finish looks as good as anything I've ever seen. Not sure about the need for twin wheels on a long distance cruiser and you'll have to keep off the beer if you want to keep using that nav station! Congratulations, fair winds and happy sailing to you both!
DITTO, Captain Rick Moore. Just a lovely craft !! Love the special go-over of the cooker and hob at the end. Took notes on that piece of equipment. 👍👌👊✨🥂✨⛵️⚓️🍷✨ Captain Dick Chassé
Love you guys, love the videos, hoping to follow a similar path of living on a Southerly whilst documenting changes in seagrass and coral on our journey, from which scientists can deliberate as to the best course of action or experiment, through us; and the whole time, encouraging cleaning up the seas as we go. All I need now is a Southerly.
That is a beautiful boat. Love your show. Especially when you came through Oswego NY. (I live near there). If you ever need a crewmen I'd be interested. Happy travels
Great presentation and congratulations on your new boat! I wouldn't change a thing except those vertical windows in the aft cabin -they just have to be horizontal.
Well I really don't know how you two are going to survive "roughing" it aboard DS III. Honestly, that is a thing of beauty. Sexy and good looking while being totally functional with no small detail forgotten, this is truly a dreamboat. I am officially jealous. Take care, eh.
A new boat is a new boat.... Congratulations with her, and all fair winds for her and the crew.

Enjoy your beautiful boat, and if you're ever sailing Northern Irish waters, give us a shout.
I can just imagine how excited you were to get this boat!
She looks beautiful. No doubt you’re both very proud, The whole team too. Looking forward to seeing her on the water..
That is one beautiful yacht. She'll help you drift right into the golden years. Enjoy !!
I'm a regular of Boot, trying bargains in first windsurfing and more recently kite material. The boats there are so magnificent that you cannot resist the dreaming...until you know the prices. This is like a car show with only Ferraris and similar. Great and frustrating at the same time.

Thanks very much Skipper!
Skipper, I concur! Most likely the best sailing channel on YT.
Congrats on the new boot, she's beautiful.
Wow. she looks great. Wishing you many year of great times. looking forward to seeing your new adventures with her.
Paul you looked like a little kid in a candy store with free reign to taste it all. Thanks for the tour! DS3 is amazing! It is great to see all the details that you planed into it and how excited you were to see you new beautiful boat that was almost ready to be delivered! Fair Winds!
DS III looks great. Congrats on the amazing results!
Absolutely gorgeous! And Paul, your "nerding out" was a blast to watch. You're like a kid in a candy store. Enjoy your new home. Fair winds!
Thanks Heather - we'll shoot more on those "nerdy" lines!
This a fine, thoughtfully detailed, safe, spacious, elegant, beautiful---- home in " 'outerspace' oceans"!
Congratulations!
I hope that you both enjoy it, a lot---- FOREVER!!!!+
FIGHT, to stay healthy---- FOREVER!!!!+, so you will always be able to enjoy it!!!!+
P.S.:
Big Thank You, for bringing us the delightful, wonderful Boat Show! I never knew it existed! Everyone has to "check this one out"!
God Bless You Both!!!!+
OMG! What a fabulous vessel.......
Beautiful vessel!
Safe travels and happy travels...
Wow What a beautiful Sailboat. I look forward to hearing about your sailing adventures on her.
Beautiful boat guys, look forward to seeing her (and you) on the water somewhere soon! :)
Hey Hi Rick!! Yes we'll be back in the Caribbean by Christmas so must plan to meet up. I've been admiring your Grenada race video especially the drone shot of the beginning!
OMGAGL, WOW, amazing that I have lived in Europe for 24 years and thank you for sharing the Dusseldorf trip! Fab to say the least.
I'm very excited for you both and I'm interested in the technical side of your boat keep being happy
Good luck with the new boat! Have been following your videos for a year or two now and find them interesting and entertaining. Looking forward to new videos on Distant Shores III!

Hey! "Nerding out" is...cool
Wow... I am looking forward to your adventures in your new and fantastic Southerly 480!
Thanks for sharing! Can't wait for the first trip on the new Distant Shores III.
It is Beautiful and Modern sailboat Thank you show us the beautiful video too.
Awesome looking boat. I love how excited Paul gets talking about his new “toy”; like kid on Christmas morning 😉. Can’t wait to see this boat out on the worlds oceans.
Thanks guys - yes I sure was excited - suddenly its really "real"!!
Congratulations to you both. She is stunning and very well appointed. It's Steph and Lori here, can't wait to be on her!
Gorgeous boat. I must go out and buy a lottery ticket right away. ^_^
Another great video, the boat is beautiful, wishing you both, the very best of luck and enjoyment with the new boat.
You two turned your passion into a business and ran your business with a passion year after year after year. Enjoy the fruits of your dedication and hard work. Well deserved. Congratulations.

Ahh yes! Here be the boat tour I asked about!

Yes I plan to do many more features on the mechanical systems now that the systems are almost finished. Kind regards Paul
The hatch between the two helms is going to catch someone's tows. love the lifting keel.
It hasn't happened yet, Frank, but then we have a rule about always wearing boat shoes. The hatch is an escape hatch in case of fire for the occupants of the aft cabin. It also allows star gazing from bed. ✨
Enjoyed your update. I am so excited for you guys and look forward to many new vidoes of your new adventures. DS111 looks like a real dream yacht congrats.
Congratulations. It’s absolutely beautiful.
Paul and Sheryl ....She is a real beauty. Too many things to even mention. I can see already I'm going to be spoiled on the BIG CROSSING :)
Thanks Darryl - yes it will be a gr8 crossing!
It is a beautiful boat. I hope the drop down over the master bed is well padded. :-)

Splendid show, good boat, very nice video. Thank you for sharing your time there with us.
enjoy. its a beautiful ship!!!! great
Congrats for this new and beautiful boat. Looking forward to seeing your first videos with this new boat!
Very nice yacht and an interesting tour.
Gorgeous! and the filming of it is just as wonderful!
Very nice view of the large boats on the Rhein how they “drift” around the bends of the river. Congratulations to your great boat! Always a handful water under the keel!
Thanks Archibald! Yes the Rhein flow was quite impressive. Glad you liked the vid!
Conga-rats Paul and Sheryl, The new boat looks great. Good on you too.
Great video and beautiful boat. I am looking forward to seeing the launch!
congratulations! She's absolutely gorgeous!!! I can't wait to see it sailing the seas!
Thanks John :-)
So beautiful, I am so happy for you.. Cheers !
What an incredibly beautiful boat!
STUNNING boat, can't wait to see her in the water.
What a beautiful boat good luck in your travels
Beautiful yacht ... Fantastic
Exciting to see. It's a lovely boat. Imagine that, it's not a cat!
Captains! If you need someone on board and scrub the boat in exchange for all these fun and learn the knots, let me know once the kids are in college I will join you. Thanks for sharing, beautiful boat.

Thanks so much Timbo for such kind words! I'll pass it on to my lovely wife indeed!
Congratulations on your new purchase i always watch your show on tv.
Hope to see you in Bermuda one day.🇧🇲
Impressive boat!
More than inspiring. There is no such thing as too much ‘geek’. Thank you
lovely boat
Congratulations on your choice & purchase, discovery yachts are superb as you know! Happy blue water cruising guys! Awesome choice
Am delighted to have stumbled upon you after watching a video with SV Delos. This vessel looks wonderful. Take care. Hello from London, UK : - ) x
Welcome aboard!
That is a beautiful boat! 2:31 - that is bavarian food, when I was in the area Düsseldorf, Dortmund, Cologne the locals, I ask for some typical local food, said such things don't exists. So I got told there is no culture in that area, it was badly destroyed in the last war and in rebuilding it became multiculture.

So, may this is a place in the middle of Germany where you find something from all over the world, that was my Impression!
Gorgeous new boat, Paul and Cheryl!!! Can't wait to see a video of your next adventure. We watch your Distant Shores videos over and over.
Thanks for your kind words Leslie!
Very nice! Thanks for the visit!
That keel is very trick, would have loved to see the engine area I'm a mechanical person and get interested in how they design the area. Beautiful boat Sir!
I will definitely do a better job showing the engine area in future videos!
Love the hob and the cooker. The aft cabin is fantastic. If I got a monohull I'd want a large aft cabin. The boat is beautiful. But I think I'd still like to get a catamaran. I've worked on the road for so many year, living in a camper. I've learned I want ROOM. I think having room when you're gone on a trip takes a lot, of stress away. But having more room is more to clean! So it is a catch 22 situation. Good luck with your new yacht, and may you have great sailing!
That is one gorgeous boat!
Work of art. Just think of all the great episodes that will be made on that yacht. ⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓
Thanks Roger!
@@DistantShoresTV re-watched after your Christmas Eve '18 upload.
Love nerding out on boats!
“Washing machine installed if you’d like” - that’s hilarious.
Been to the Messe Dusseldorf for the tri-ennial K fair (one week plastics trade show), have walked many km between those 16 buildings!
Very impressive yacht!
Thanks SBS :-)
Holy Sh!t... what a wonderful boat 😍
Wish you all luck with her 🍀⛵️
Wow! Gorgeous boat guys... wishing you many safe passages with her. Congratulations!! Fair winds ... sv Refuge pcyc.
Thanks Refuge! Fair winds to you as well ...
awesome. more geek out videos please. looking to see what communication gear you install and what other options you put on the boat. and cant wait to go to this show next year.
Yeah. Technical and detail stuff! Bring it on! :)
Thanks Arctic! I do have fun with the techy stuff. When we just made a regular "broadcast TV" program I couldn't get so tech-in-depth...
This is a huge leap from Two Step!
Awesome video as usual. Distant Shores III looks great. I can't wait to see the videos of you sailing it.
Thanks Chris - yes we're looking forward to making more videos with Distant Shores III...
A beautiful boat ... the fit and finish looks as good as anything I've ever seen. Not sure about the need for twin wheels on a long distance cruiser and you'll have to keep off the beer if you want to keep using that nav station! Congratulations, fair winds and happy sailing to you both!
Loved this video! We can’t wait to go to Düsseldorf next year! Congrats on the new boat folks!
DITTO, Captain Rick Moore. Just a lovely craft !! Love the special go-over of the cooker and hob at the end. Took notes on that piece of equipment. 👍👌👊✨🥂✨⛵️⚓️🍷✨
Captain Dick Chassé
Beautiful ship! I could never afford anything this awesome!
Love you guys, love the videos, hoping to follow a similar path of living on a Southerly whilst documenting changes in seagrass and coral on our journey, from which scientists can deliberate as to the best course of action or experiment, through us; and the whole time, encouraging cleaning up the seas as we go.

Fantastic looking boat, can't wait to see y'all sailing it.
Gorgeous new Boat!

That is a beautiful boat. Love your show. Especially when you came through Oswego NY. (I live near there). If you ever need a crewmen I'd be interested.
Happy travels
1. Beautiful new boat, congratulations.
2. The video wasn’t too nerdy.
3. Hope to see it (and both of you) on new Distant Shores on AWE.
A beautiful yacht. 👍👍👍🇬🇧🏴
That's a pretty one! edit: But you told me to tune out before the most interesting part, man!
It was nice meeting you again on the boat-show and see your beautiful yacht. Safe sailing from the 'rudderless crew'
Thanks Leo!
Great presentation and congratulations on your new boat! I wouldn't change a thing except those vertical windows in the aft cabin -they just have to be horizontal.
Wow! A Beautiful boat ENJOY it!
Well I really don't know how you two are going to survive "roughing" it aboard DS III.
Honestly, that is a thing of beauty. Sexy and good looking while being totally functional with no small detail forgotten, this is truly a dreamboat. I am officially jealous.
Take care, eh.
Thanks Ed - yes I think we'll survive!
Who can say that their new boat was premiered in the world's largest boat show? A beautiful and well planned boat.
Congratulations!
