This week find out about more unique Portofino innovations that arise out of the decades of sailing experience in the designers, engineers and staff of Portofino! A completely new design for the bow roller will reduce the risk of ropes tangling with the anchor chain. Also Portofino has created an ideal bow roller to suit their boats to reduce the loads and stress on the anchor winch and the mechanism is explained here….

We continue our sailing adventures with Jill, one of our Patreons as we explore Kos, the home of Hippocrates, the “father of medicine”, Pirate boats and lots of history, museums, ruins and great food!

Hope you enjoy the journey with us this week!

Join our Patreon : www.patreon.com/BarefootDoctorsSailing – from $3/episode

Our Patreon option starts from only $3 per week, and will allow our supporters to enjoy live updates, early release and much more! In Dubai Jan 2025 (aboard the new Portofino 52) you would be able to 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!
