In this episode we, the Barefoot Doctors Sailing face some major decisions in the options for the building of our new performance catamaran, a Portofino 52, that are outside our experience – carbon fibre masts, rigging and in boom furlers. We have to make these decisions and look to the experience and wisdom within our viewers to help us find out if the cost of these options, is value and beneficial for us in the long term…. So PLEASE can YOU HELP us….
We also share the process of design modifications in the build process – as this is a prototype and constant reviews of the details are required.
Of course we also share the winners of the competition from last week where we asked how many cans of coke can be made out of the aluminium within the Portofino 52 !!!! Interesting stuff as aluminium is one of the few materials that is recyclable while most other boats are NOT!
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!
