We take you through that experience, how we came through it and the lessons we learnt so we hoepfully never have to do that again.... The good news coming out it though is that the systems that Portofino helped to create with Italian steering specialists are available for everyone to use and mean that Manual Emergency Tillers can be a thing of the past and never be needed again.... It is amazing stuff and even been approved by the certification bodies and if the steering ever dies on the Portofino, the steering wheel in the helm station will be where the "emergency" steering works from - SO MUCH BETTER THAN MANUAL STEERING FROM THE TRANSOM!

With the major developments with the US attacking Iran, we look at how that affects our plans and if Iran blocks the Straits of Hormuz, our boat would be trapped in Dubai unable to get out of the Arabian Gulf - worrying times.... We also share some details of our 2300nm sail from Tahiti to Fiji through a storm that blew 50 knots and 5 m seas and will share full episodes on these details later so lots of exciting videos ahead. We also are about to fly to Brisbane to test sail the Cure 55, a full carbon, high performance cat which will be really exciting and then we fly to Portofino to make final decisions about fit out choices.
