S4#15. BOOM FURLERS - The Shocking Truth. Portofino 52 Update.

Are boom furlers a "HAZARD that NEED to be avoided at all costs" or a fantastic addition to your boat that users will NEVER GO WITHOUT after learning how to use them?

This is the dilemma that we have been investigating for the last few months with information from the manufacturers and the experienced user of them....

Join us for the technical deep dive into the cauldron of controversy and falsehoods about boom furlers that abound on the internet. We share the shocking truths and information from the experienced sailors around the world and share what we have found, that may well not be want some people want to hear..... The truth remains the truth and hopefully we are revealing it for all of you!

Our Patreon option starts from only $3 per week, and will allow our supporters to enjoy live updates, early release and much more! 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.

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!
