Join the Barefoot Doctors as we assess the damage to our Leoaprd 45 Catamaran after it has spent 8 months on the hard stand while we were away and sailing across the Atlantic Ocean from South Africa to the USA…
See what the damage is and whether we did the right thing in keeping it out of the water in a boat yard with work being done all around it…
We also share the pros and cons of keeping your boat in the water or on the hard for the off season….
Portofino 52 Unique Features
As we have a travel lift dropping Expedition Barefoot back in the water, we reflect on how our new Portofino 52 has the unique features of having lifting points at the four corners of the boat, allowing it to be lifted out the water in remote locations with the most basic of cranes that are available all over the world!!!!! Another unique feature making this Portofino 52 such an amazing and user friendly, world cruising boat.
We also are highlights of the week 4 of our Patreons joined us on Expedition Barefoot for a week of sailing, pleasure and experiencing what living aboard in really like….This was the first Patreon sailing event was enjoyed by 4 Patreons who had a wonderful week in the Gocek and Fethiye area – they all claim to have benefitted immensely from the experience and are much more clear on their sailing dreams as a result!!! Join up if you want to have those opportunities…
Our Patreon option starts from only $3 per week, and will allow our supporters to enjoy live updates, join us for sailing events in Aegean Greece, May 2024. Then in Dubai Jan 2025 (aboard the new Portofino 52) join us for the launching party and test sails!!! We are also offering boat build tours with sailing off Dubai to share the progress of the P52 build and provide whatever sailing or life discussions that YOU want us to provide during all of these events….. It is a very exciting prospect and we have been requested repeatedly to give advice, take folk sailing, teach sailing techniques etc etc…. So here it is!!!
Any Patreons will have the choice to join us for these events which are usually about 5 days to be up close and personal with Eli and John and learn from their expertise… There will be sailing trips, excursions and chats during the events and the subjects will be designed to suit the participants that will be there. Patreons will receive all the sailing and talks with the Barefoot Doctors without any cost but will only have to cover their own travel, food and accomodation costs.
All Patreon proceeds go to Exqisit Life Foundation to support TUFMINDS Mental Resilience and Suicide Prevention Program worldwide.
Some come Barefoot with us on this exciting journey – now physically and in person with Patreon if you wish!!!
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!
