Join our Patreon : www.patreon.com/BarefootDoctorsSailing - from $3/episode Join us as we go back to Turkey and put the Oxley Parasailor through its paces making really good speeds in light winds on our Leopard 45 catamaran! With our Portofino 52 in its second half of construction with delivery due in DSec 2024, we share the unique and smart power systems to have 7.5kW DC generation on EACH engine. Raffaele Rognoni shares the pitfalls that many other manufacturers have had when fitting upgraded generators and as a result, caused rapid damage to the engine's water pumps. They have overcome this issue and Portofino has a unique systems to extend lifespans of the DC generators.... We then take you on a journey through the weird and wonderful of dreams that witness a wonder of the world and decades later, Eli is seeing what she saw in her dreams as a youngster.... Amazing! Anyway we make our way to the travertine pools at Pamukkale and they match exactly what Eli saw - was this some universal intelligence, insight or astral travelling? We also paraglide over the travertine pools and share why this is a "NOT TO BE MISSED" destination when cruising the Turkish coast1 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.
