We do an extended sea trial aboard our new Enksail Orion 49 aluminum sailboat, Distant Shores IV. Sailing from Makkum in the Netherlands, we do an overnight crossing of the North Sea, dodging gas works, oil platforms and shipping lanes, then deal with shoals and big tides on the East Coast of the UK when we make landfall at Hull.

We continue sea trials with our new Enksail Orion 49 aluminum sailboat and go for a sail with the sailmaker on board who gives us professional advice on how to best use our new sails.

We move aboard our new Enksail Orion 49 aluminum sailboat and take the boat out for her first sail! Join us for a boat tour as we see the transformation from a build site to a beautiful sailing vessel flying across sparkling seas.
