This week we share initial choices about our sails for our Portofino 52 aluminium catamaran and the unique Gennaker by One Sails called a Power Reaching Furler - or PFR for short! his amazing sail uses dyneema in the luff to eliminate the need for a cord, making it much lighter, more powerful as there is more sail area and also able to kept up permanently while sailing. It eliminates the risk of unfurling that we have experienced with the Code 0 and the hassle of having to pack it away every time you raise or drop it....

We also share the online process of designing the colours of this PFR and reach out to you all to help us choose the design - one of 3 - white diamond in the centre, black diamond or black and grey. What do YOU think??

We also share the terrible info about the Hurricane Beryl disaster in Grenada this week with donations being asked for to "Rebuild Carraicou". Their island have been devastated with 98% building damaged or dsitroyed and total destruction of their farms, natural habitat, communications and power systems....

There is also the dilemma of why so many of our regular viewers are being Unsubscribed and while we think it may be clicking errors, we would really like to know if anyone has any other ideas why this might be happening.... It is a big mystery because we see the Subscriber numbers fall at the very start of every video release!!!!

And interesting GOAT facts from Eli - she is such a fount of knowledge!

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.
