Buying a Sailboat - Looking for Distant Shores IV | EP 198

Are you interested in buying or building a new boat but aren't sure where to begin? This video is the first in a new series about the design and build process of Distant Shores IV, the new custom-built aluminum e-boat we are planning to build. Determining criteria for your dream boat is the start of the process and Paul and his alter-egos, Traditional Paul and Future Tech Paul, hash out ideas together. Although entertaining, this video provides guidelines for determining important steps and considerations to help you make good decisions when searching for a new boat. 00:25 Criteria for a new sailboat 01:15 Southerly 42 - shallow draft explorer 02:15 Southerly 49 - longer waterline 03:13 Size of Sailboat 04:24 Crew Accommodation 06:08 Catamaran VS Monohull 07:16 Sailboat Pilothouse 08:43 Shallow Draft Sailboat #southerly #cruisingboats Equipment: Brunton’s Propellers: http://www.bruntonspropellers.com/ Elvstrøm Sails: http://www.elvstromsails.com/ Epex Sail Technology: http://www.elvstromsails.com/epex/epex-technology Seldén Mast / Furlex: http://www.seldenmast.com/ Lewmar: http://www.lewmar.com/ Raymarine: http://www.raymarine.com/ Scanstrut: http://www.scanstrut.com/ Navionics Charts: https://www.navionics.com/ GN Espace Ocean Chef: https://www.gn-espace.com/yacht-galley-equipment/marine-gas-cookers/ocean-chef/ Highfield Classic Inflatable: http://www.highfieldboats.com/ Integrel On-Engine Generator: https://www.integrelmarine.com/ MG Energy Systems (lithium batteries): https://www.mgenergysystems.eu/ Ultra Anchor (35 kg): https://www.ultramarine-anchors.com/ Pantaenius Yacht Insurance: http://www.pantaenius-group.com/content/2808 Oceanskies Yacht Registration: https://www.oceanskies.com/yachts/yacht-registration ••••••••••••••••••••••• You can also connect with us on: FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/DistantShoresTV/ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/distantshorestv/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/DistantShoresTV BUSINESS INQUIRIES: distantshores@rogers.com ••••••••••••••••••••••• THANKS FOR SUBSCRIBING! https://www.youtube.com/distantshorestv ••••••••••••••••••••••• Thank you for watching!
