I have had the pleasure of sailing with Paul and Sheryl on a Sail a Way holiday. Paul is an amazing captain, his experience, knowledge, skills and abilities shine through from the first meeting and inspire confidence. They take strangers onto their boat, take responsibility for them and deliver an amazing experience. There is no doubt in my mind that Sheryl would pass this course with flying colours too.
Very happy belated Birthday 🎉🎂🍾🥂 and congratulations on your RYA Yachtsmaster success 👌👍👏🍾🥂🏅🥇🏆🥰😍💪💪👏👏 Thank you so much for sharing these awesome and wonderful information. That's awesome 👌 👏 👍🙏💯
You guys know how to celebrate a birthday! How many times have we enjoyed watching you take "Distant Shores III" for her inaugural sail on April 12, 2018, and now this!
Thanks for being with us year after year for Paul's birthday! 🥰 Sheryl's birthday always falls during the Southampton Boat Show in September. 🎂Our anniversary is usually during the United States Sailboat Show in Annapolis. Always a boating theme for celebrations it seems!
Thank you very much! I want to thank you for the new video. It's great that you're learning! You are great! Thank you very much for adding subtitles! This allows people from different countries and us, your viewers from Russia, to watch you! Yes, you have a lot of fans from Russia! Thank you! And of course I want to see updates on the construction of your new yacht. We look forward to your updates!
Did a couple of RYA trainings on the Solent too! Just a fantastic area to experience so many different situations that you hardly come accross anywhere else. There are also very nice pubs to explore of course. Originally did my offshore sailing license (ICC (International Certificate of Competence)) in Switzerland.

Yes Paul & Sheryl... training is IMHO part of seamanship.... I've only had ASA101/103... the courses named are termed as 'introductory'... notwithstanding I would be much more uncomfortable without those trainings... I would like to be able to apply practical skill with formal training... working for 4 years on my boat has proven to be a challenge to make my sloop seaworthy... your videos keep me inspired to do as much as I can everyday to make my boat a better vessel to take me as far as I can both under sail and power... Thanks so much for all you two do for the sailing enthusiast... Fair Winds...
I've got only the most basic course, but from what I see on RUclips, that puts me ahead of about half the cruising RUclipsrs out there in terms of skills. I was working on my coastal skipper's license when Covid stopped me, but I'm planning on restarting the course this or next year.
Good for you! The training in this video originally started the week of March 22, 2020, and had to be cancelled after 2 days. Paul has been waiting for 3 years for the opportunity to finish filming the training and taking the exam so we sympathize. Wishing you all the best taking your coastal skipper's license. 👍🏻
Nice to see you are sailing where I come from. I never sailed there though, just worked for a couple of marine companies around the harbour. I did the same on-line course as part of my Coastal Skipper exam in Palamos. A much warmer place to train, also with strong winds, but no tide to practice with. I never understand why the UK hasn't enforced some basic qualification like most of the EU have, especially as it's so busy in places like the Solent, you learn so much from the Day Skipper!
Yes, the Enksail Orion 49 can fit through the French Canals. We’ll be filming on the Great Lakes this summer aboard friends’ boats. DS4 doesn’t launch until October.
No. It is just something I always wanted to do. I have Canadian qualifications but RYA certification is internationally recognized and I thought it would be nice to have. I feel you can never stop learning and always pick up helpful tips and methods although we've been sailing a long time.
I did the RYA Yachtmaster offshore back in 1987, spent half a day throwing buoys overboard, maneuvering to a broad reach, getting organised, then returning on a reciprocal course to collect the drifting buoy. Since then, have found it much quicker and easier to instantly "heave to", you sometimes come right round to the overboard object - of course you need to be aware of a MOB immediately it occurs for this procedure to be effective.

Thank you for this great feedback, Keith! It was such a pleasure having you aboard for the passage from the Bahamas to Panama. 🥰
I’ve never sailed but I’m obsessed with everything sailing and sailboats. Love your channel.
Thanks for this great feedback. We hope you get out sailing someday soon. ⛵
Happy Birthday, Paul!🎉
Congratulations on the certification Paul! and have fun learning dutch!!! you can practice it in the shipyard. Also, great video! (George)

Thank you Paul and Sheryl for this wonderful video - we're so glad you enjoyed your training at the MSA facilities in Dover, UK!
Another great instruction. Thanks!
Thanks for this great feedback. So glad you enjoyed the video!

So glad the subtitles/captions are helpful. More updates on the construction of our new Enksail Orion 49 coming soon!
I love the docking practice under different circumstances. Lifelong learning is essential. Thank you for sharing. 😊
We're so glad to hear this! Thanks for the feedback. We've got more docking practice videos coming up this summer.
Wij hebben weer erg genoten van deze video! ❤🇭🇺
Hartelijk dank! 😊
Thanks
The new boat looks great, beautiful shape. Hope I see her sail some day, I have my boat in Volendam also in the IJselmeer. When is it ready to sail?
Congratulations on the certification Paul 🎉

Thanks for your comments, Archibald. You are correct about the Solent being a fabulous place to sail and, yes, lots of good pubs to explore! 😊

Thanks for your kind words, Captain Ron! We're so glad our videos have been inspiring for you. 👍

Will your new sailboat fit through the French canals? Also I’d love to see you guys come sail on the Great Lakes
Yes, the Enksail Orion 49 can fit through the French Canals. We’ll be filming on the Great Lakes this summer aboard friends’ boats. DS4 doesn’t launch until October.
Correction: you trained out of Gosport, not Portsmouth. Its the opposite side of the inlet.
Do you need the Yacht masters to get your boat insurance
No. It is just something I always wanted to do. I have Canadian qualifications but RYA certification is internationally recognized and I thought it would be nice to have. I feel you can never stop learning and always pick up helpful tips and methods although we've been sailing a long time.
Some Sailing channels show MOB as a joke. These so called sailors, are a joke. When the time come, they will NOT think so.
Man overboard drills are very important, we agree, and practice often in different conditions.
I did the RYA Yachtmaster offshore back in 1987, spent half a day throwing buoys overboard, maneuvering to a broad reach, getting organised, then returning on a reciprocal course to collect the drifting buoy.
Since then, have found it much quicker and easier to instantly "heave to", you sometimes come right round to the overboard object - of course you need to be aware of a MOB immediately it occurs for this procedure to be effective.
Thankyou 👍
