S3#25. Mid Atlantic Spinnaker Trouble! Plus Portofino 52 Sneak Preview

Join our Patreon : patreon.com/BarefootDoctorsSailing - from $3/episode Join Barefoot Doctors Sailing as we move into Day 6 of the Atlantic crossing on a Leopard 50 sailing catamaran and we have to hoist and drop the Oxley spinnaker 3 times to fix up various problems.... It's great practice and after that, we start to get pretty good at it but join us to see what sort of things can go wrong.... We share what it is like inside my cabin and listen to the noises that the boat makes as we are sailing along in gentle and stronger winds. I also show you forward to the front of the bow with light coming through the fibreglass - this is normal and only an effect on how much gelcoat is on the outside and paint on the inside - so it is NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT! We share the conundrum answer and the winner- this was what is the bungees for on the two shrouds.... We also share up to date photos of the Portofino 52 build progress in Dubai and the latest renders of this inside of the boat - more to follow and full inspection when we get to Dubai. If you want to know what it is like to sail 8000 miles across open ocean, jump on board with us! Our exciting Patreon option from only $3 per week, will allow our supporters to enjoy live updates on positions and daily logs on the Atlantic crossing as well as join us for sailing events in Gocek, Turkey (Sept 2023), 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!
