S3#7. We Design the Ultimate Catamaran! Let the fun begin! Portofino 52.

s37-we-design-the-ultimate-catamaran-let-the-fun-begin-portofino-52

Join Barefoot Doctors Sailing as we take the next step in the creation of the ULTIMATE Catamaran for us! We share the details of the further design processes for the steering station and how to make your cockpit and steering station waterproof…. We also run through the cost and key features of the Portofino 52 and why it is such a unique design.

We also share the reality of sailing in rough weather with water all over the aft cockpit seats and having howling winds and sea water pounding us in the steering station because of the absence of drop downs and we see how water just falls into the cockpit from the big space of the steering station.

We also share an update on the building progress of the Portofino 47 and join us as we visit amazing places in Dubai and fulfil one of Eli’s long term dreams to go for a balloon ride over the Sahara Desert. That is followed by breakfast in a Bedouin camp, camel rides, falcon flying and being the Bedouin Princess (Eli – not John!)

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.
