Join Barefoot Doctors Sailing as we start the Brand new Portofino 52 build with the welding of the first bulkheads and the boat takes some shape immediately! Exciting times!!! The team at the Portofino Shipyard show the first bulkheads being assembled and how they are watertight and the clear and visible strength that they have….
We also share important structural information about the P52 with discussions with Emilio D’Onofrio, the Structural and Marine Engineer and he explains how the FEM analysis is done to ensure that there are not weak points in the design and testing to assess the maximum amount the boat will flex in the worst conditions possible. This is using Italian Navy standards and he also built in a 20% safety margin too – using 1G of force instead of the actual force of 0.8G that the boat would sustain.
We announce the winner of last weeks competition – so watch to the end to find out who that was and the prize….
Raffaele also announces that Portofino have a stand at the Grand Motte Show (H4) 13-16 April 2023 so anyone who wants to discuss details about the boats are welcome to meet him there!
Some come Barefoot with us on this exciting journey!!!
