S2#4. Antares 44 Guided Tour: Hybrid World Cruiser - Breaking New Ground!

@Barefoot Doctors Sailing - Catch up with the Barefoot Doctors Sailing story 2 months after our Leopard 50 burnt to the bottom of the ocean and now we are looking for replacement boats but what will we chose? This week we have a guided tour through the Antares 44 - another million dollar boat with innovative hybrid power systems that are leading the field in green energy and sustainability. See what they offer and how the rest of the boat matches up to it's promises? Come Barefoot with us as we explore these really exciting developments in yachts and their power systems .... Mark Silverstein, who has sailed half way round the world over the last ten years with his family of four, shows us how the Antares is designed and it's unique features from automatic water collection, quaLAIty build and parallel hybrid power. This includes power regeneration from the props generating 640W when sailing at 7 knots and 6KW when running the engines! We also discuss the insurance claim which is progressing, albeit it very slowly - but slow is better than stationery and we are being advised that a payout is on the horizon.... No advance with the fire investigation as yet but now "in process". 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! The free TUFMINDS program is released as a smartphone program under the Exqisit Life Foundation Charity, a registered not for profit and requires financial support to fund the free program. TUFMINDS saves lives by intervening at the point of suicide and pulling everyone to higher levels of mental resilience, wellbeing and functioning. it also creates better attitudes, resilience and coping - all very important for sailors facing difficult situations at sea. @Barefoot Doctors Sailing Donations to the charity to support Suicide Prevention with the free TUFMINDS program can be made at: https://shoutforgood.com/charities/ex...
