#232. Paul & Sheryl Shard of course have the popular TV series Distant Shores, and for 25 years have been sailing the world on their boats of the same name and documenting their travels. Mia & I met them again in Toronto in January where they were excitedly awaiting the launch of their latest boat, a new Southerly 48. We sat down with them between seminars to talk about the design process, how Southerly are now owned by Discovery Yachts in the UK, what they wanted in their new design, and about how they're getting ready and planning for the next phase of their cruising life by sailing trans-Atlantic and getting ready for the Pacific!

On the Wind is presented by Forbes Horton Yachts. And also supported by Weems & Plath, and Broadreach.
