00:00 Southampton Solent Hythe Introduction
00:46 Spring Line Docking techniques - springing off
01:55 Southerly 480 Sailing in the Solent
02:42 Spring line Example 2 - leaving one line on
05:04 Springing on to come in to a dock
06:06 Solent Sailing to the Needles
Worry about maneuvering your boat in tight quarters? Using a spring line to help docking and leaving a dock can make it easier to handle a boat in confined spaces. We show some examples in the small Hythe Marina in Southampton UK. We also take you on a sail to the famous Needles.
Yes definately more of these 'how to' videos. As a single hander using springs, and spring bridles, (set up as slip-lines) is a very useful way of getting on and off a dock. And I am very impressed that you have bow and stern thrusters and didn't use them - that is classy.
Thanks! We're working on more how to's :-) Its been fun getting to know the new boat and I've been practicing the close quarters maneuvering.
Yes guys do more of these, we love them 👌🏼
Thank you for bringing us with you on your journeys! Please give us more of this!
That was great getting a view from above added a nice touch.
The animation makes it all clear to understand. Great job.
Very prudent and safety minded to practice the new boat without the thrusters. You know that things seem to fail at the worst possible time, but you will be prepared. Like the educational videos very much.
Really informative video. It would be great to see more.
Thanks David :-)
Love the show! Watch every episode on TV. The how to videos online are an added bonus and much needed/appreciated. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and adventures with the sailing community!
Great to see the tutorials on the tricky parts of boating. I'm sure these are simple things once you know the techniques but so invaluable to learn if you don't. Short tip videos are great. The animations really helped. I'd dread those maneuvers at the moment. Nice to also see that even with people as experienced as yourselves that it doesn't always go to plan but your expertise meant that you were able to recover and adapt anyway. Thanks again
Excellent tips!
Thanks Brian :-)
It is so nice to see how-to videos about sailing! Please, please, please... Keep them coming! We, as a family, love to watch your channel, and look forward to finding a Southerly of our own!
Thanks Anthony we will make more! And please pass on our kindest regards to your family 😍❤️ Good luck with your search for a Southerly!
We love thought provoking videos; puzzles even if you run into any. Thank you so much for all that you do.
Yes please! Love the how to vids.
Very well presented, look forward to more episodes
We always love your how to videos. Watching you onTV over the years, you both feel like family to us.
Really like how you explain the topic and demon straight how to do it. It would great to see more videos like this. Thanks for sharing.
That's Great your posting thies tips! Nice boat plus the shallow draft is Awsome
yes, boat operations and maintenance videos are really great
Great tips team! Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome ❤️😇
Distant Shores TV it is certainly a skill to master. I grew up being the line handler for my dad. Now he is gone I had to learn the moves pretty quick. Having no thrusters and a wicked prop walk going astern makes life exciting around structures! I am glad to be on a swing Mooring. Cheers. Wade
Thanks for the info. As always I enjoy the show.
Great video, you guys were so calm throughout! Really great to show people a relaxed and coordinated way of docking! Great work!
very good vid. Thank you for posting
Very nice demo on spring lines -- on and off. You guys make a great team. Many thanks.
Patrick Laine you have also great videos one of my favorites.
Thank you
Hey, small world seeing you over here on this channel Patrick ! You're great for sharing tips/ideas as well, not just covering sailing voyages.
Thanks Dave. I have been a big fan of Distant Shores for a long time. These guys sailed through the center of Paris once. Really! Love them.
You're welcome Patrick ! Yes saw they'd done that. They and you are wonderful salt of the earth folk.
Hey Capt'n Pat. You know I love your vids { HELL of a lot of work, single handing .} My son bought me, us , A C&C 25 about six years ago. He works on the lakers here in Canada. He showed me the spring line and it's importance for all sorts of big and small ship, boat, handling in harbour. Only diff between the big ship lines and ours was , 3" steel and five eight's poly . lol.
Thank you, good stuff for newer sailers.
I am so happy to see you on your new boat. Looks amazing. Thanks for the informative videos. I always learn something.
These are always good reminders and love seeing others techniques.
Love the how-to videos! Found this channel through your anchoring videos.
Excellent as always. Thank you both. Fair winds.
yes definitely. Also i was researching Pogo yachts and came across a review you had done...so anything you have to share i find of value.
Oh, and, yes, yes, we absolutely will enjoy more of these seamanship videos. It’s very helpful to watch your practiced, systematic style.
Love the how-to videos very much....you both make it look so easy!
Yes please more how too vids. Always good to add to knowledge from an experienced sailer.
Thank you for sharing your "know how" - let's get more of them, thanks. We are relatively new sailors and especially docking technicians are something we try to practice. That is definitely something we can use. The boat is SO beautiful and it is a pleasure to follow you from the purchase and to your first trips. Best regards - Mette and Kenneth 🇩🇰
I love all your vids. Thanks and happy sails!
Yes, more how-to videos, please! And thanks for this one.
Awesome video keep them coming, you can never have enough knowledge
Many thanks, more please. Emma
Great spring line demo thank you. Just completed my day skipper with the RYA and learned so much. Really nice to see the spring in action from a different view. Keep up the good work
Thanks,
The how too's are great
I was taking a sailing class today (US Sailling - Bareboat Cruising) and I used the aft springline technique when casting off from a side-tie. More of these videos, please.
I just keep saying to myself, "that's such a beautiful boat"
Learning a lot about docking!
yes please more of these helpful handy instruction videos
Beautifully done!
Thanks you guys for the video!!!!!
Yes, please do more "how to" videos.
Another beautiful warm, sunny day in Europe.
We got stuck in France recently and could not work out how to do it! Thanks and yes welcome more how too videos
Informative instruction re lines & boat maneuvering, thanks for sharing.
Hi Paul and Sheryl... the boat looks amazing. The shot of it at 2:37 in the video is so beautiful. Looks like you guys are getting close for the big voyage.... Can't wait
Another awesome video - Appreciate your knowledge and willingness to share with the boating community.
Excellent video, love all of them. Always good to have tutorials though. Thank you.
Love the how to videos. Keep 'em coming, please.
Would definitely love more of these great how to videos. Very informative and great work combining the video and "cartoon/model".
Much appreciated.
Kind regards, Peter
Guys. Good and informative. Springing off on the bow or stern can get you out of so many tight spots! When coming in to a pontoon or dock the centre cleat first gives the helm the ability to drive the boat or pull the boat into position in wind or tide situations. Be good to see you demo this on your new boat. Left the Solent 1st June currently Port St Denis Bay of Biscay heading South like you. Sail Safe and fair winds. Ant & Cid xx
Please say hi if you see us! We might catch you up as we're heading south shortly 😇
Love your HowTos. Please share more.
Thank you. Your video is very helpfull for me as a new skipper.
Thanks for your videos and for the tips
Another gem for information. More please! Oh, and your boat is not too shabby either. Nice, verrry nice.
Thank you. How to videos are very helpful, especially "best practices" videos.
I love the how to videos. Thanks from Huntington Beach ca.
You're welcome Sean 😊❤️
Yes more how to video's. Thanks for sharing just love your channel.
Paul and Sheryl,
Greatly informative video. Keep the info videos coming. Love the several series you guys put together in the Bahamas a couple of years ago.
In this current one I LOVE the superimposed graphic of your new boat on the aerial shots. The other thing that would help in spring line and other docking and undocking techniques would be to show the position of your rudders and the direction of the prop thrust on that boat graphic and discuss how rudder position and the prop direction also help swing the boat.
Still not a boat owner yet, but its getting closer.
"Barney"
Great idea Byron ! And we will revisit the Bahamas next spring with Distant Shores III!!!
Excellent Video TY
This video is great, thanks
Really good video on how to use spring lines - thanks heaps!
So awesome! You explained so clearly! 👍👍👍
I really enjoyed this video and would like to see more like it. Thank you.
Yes more of these🥳🥳👏🏽👏🏽🥂🍾👍
great instruction video. Although this maneuvers weren't new for me, I like to see others as well!
Your's is such a beautiful, and well planned boat; I feel good about her being sailed by able, and experienced sailors. A fine example you are, indeed, setting.
Enjoyed the video. Thank you
love these how to videos!
Please 👏
More of these “how to” videos, there are very helpful 👌👍
Any advice from seasoned salts is always welcomed! Keep the how to vids coming!
Great instructional video, having the camera up on the mast really helped to drive home exactly what was going on with the boat during the maneuver.
Very helpful.
I can watch howto videos for hours. Just when I think I know a little something, I find a well done video such as yours that gives another pearl or two. Cheers!
This spring line to push off a dock looks simple enough Paul.....nice to have Sheryl aboard so you only need to ask once to do something. Your new vessel sure has nice lines. You ruined me on keels and now I only want a swing keel....and cannot find one that I can afford....I think everyone that has moved thru your wake also now wants one. Thanks Paul ;).
What size boat are you looking for?
48 to 54' Monohull Pilothouse with 14 to 15' Beam (will be my new home), prefer a steel hull but fiberglass is okay.
Love these thoughtful how too videos keep it up
Yes please keep the how to videos coming. Really good stuff.
Really enjoyed the video, thanks
Very interestind, thank you.
Love the video showing how to maneuver the boat.
Thumbs up...please do more!
Wow, brand new gelcoat looks so nice.
Lovely boot!
Excellent tips for docking
Love the “how to” video. More please. 😃
Fantastic. I'm a novice boater and even though I have a single engined stern drive this helped me immensely. 👍
Yes, more how to’s. Thanks
Nice! More how-to videos are definitely appreciated.
