S3#6. Our New Boat – It’s official!!! Portofino 52 – contract, designs and parties

s36-our-new-boat-its-official-portofino-52-contract-designs-and-parties

Join Barefoot Doctors Sailing as we take the big step of signing the contract to purchase the Portofino 52! Very nerve racking stuff as we are committing to such a large financial outlay….

Also meetup with the other subscribers in Dubai who came to meet us in two separate events and we also take you through some of the design processes that you may well experience as you are choosing your own internal layouts in any boat.

The surprising thing is how one simple looking step of flipping a toilet (head) and shower around in the same volume with separate doors required moving the whole cubicle forward in the boat which affected where the steps down into the hull needed to be and then the kitchen had to be redesigned as well…. Boats are so tightly designed that some things just can’t be done and other times, modifications are needed in other parts of the boat.

Some come Barefoot with us on this exciting journey!!!

Binge watch and come barefoot with us as we travel and explore the planet, mostly from the water but sometimes through the minds of others as we provide aid and support where needed through the amazing TUFMINDS solutions!

WHAT IS TUFMINDS
The free TUFMINDS program is released as a smartphone program under the Exqisit Life Foundation Charity, a registered not for profit and requires financial support to fund the free program. TUFMINDS saves lives by intervening at the point of suicide and pulling everyone to higher levels of mental resilience, wellbeing and functioning. it also creates better attitudes, resilience and coping – all very important for sailors facing difficult situations at sea.
