Come to Ireland! 😂 maybe in the summer 😉🤣 xox
As far as Ag1 goes I know it’s a sponsor and you have to plug it, but you should also mention that anyone who takes any type of blood thinners such as warfarin or Coumadin should not consume AG1 as one of its main ingredients is vitamin k wich is a natural blood thickener or coagulant…. Therefore any Dr. Prescribing blood thinners say” stay away from leafy green foods….AG1 is primarily a leafy green food
❤❤
Are you guys planing to stop in Australia? It’s right on the way :D
9:30 You’re one of the only channels that seem self aware of this and certainly the only channel that edits in clips of you guys grounding each other and making sure life moments don’t get blurred with ‘show’ moments. It’s why we keep watching, I feel like I’m hanging with genuinely lovely folks.
lol
Wow. That proposed itinerary reveal at the end really illustrated the magnificent freedom and flexibility and powerful control you have over your destinies. Congrats and thank you!
Lenny's 'buh bye' made me audibly "awwwwww". It's also been a long while since I visited the south pacific, but Aitutaki holds a dear place in my heart. :D
us too :)
I loved it too but the mooring facilities are VERY confined. Such a pity about the Lagoon being almost devoid of coral as a consequence of the application of DDT during World War Two
Many of us land lock folks get to live vicariously through your videos .so a thank you is well deserved for the time recording editing and uploads .
Guys I am so happy for you and your new boat. Reily so glad to hear you are finally getting into surfing. Be aware however that if you catch the true surfing fever, it will open a whole new world for you and your family as it did for me and mine. The benefit of that is that it will be all new content for your videos. I've taught surfing for over 50 years now and still look forward to every time I hit the water. You will find yourself charting courses in search for new surf spots, places nobody has access to but you as you travel the oceans. I am truly jealous. A little advise, when you start surfing, I suggest you start with a long board 8' minimum and as you get better progress to smaller boards. Please take lots of videos of you and Elena surfing, I would love it.
Started watching this channel because it was a Caribbean sailing show and I won't lie, I've wondered whether I would stick with it as you've moved away from the region and the cat. But that last bit where you explained your plans for SE Asia and the southern Pacific over the next few years, I can guarantee you I will be be sticking around to watch that because it sounds amazing. Thanks for dragging me away from the Caribbean and exploring this new region of our watery planet. Really looking forward to it.
Asia’s going to be magic Joe, we hope you stick around ☺️

Joe, I started watching for the sailing. Then covid happened and flipped the world upside down. Since then they have had episodes everywhere. I have since found that I like Riley and Elay at sea, on land, on the frying pan, in the frigid cold, and heck if they went to space..yep you guessed it. Truns out I enjoy watching this family more so than just sailing. How about that
I just enjoy Riley talking about boats and sailing. The rest of the channel, meh. Riley, maybe you should have a second channel where you do talk forever about the boats, your sailing etc. I'd watch that. 👍🏻
"Caribbean sailing show[s]" are about showing nearly naked women, as a bait, with little or no substance. Elayna's modesty (from the earlier episodes) is gone and she is surely using these tricks as well, thankfully not too often. I also see, as a mother, child neglect, but many would argue is not true. In my opinion they love to sail, their children come second. Mind me, they love their children, yet they are clueless when it comes to a safe, stable and structured environment for the kids. They have zero E M F awareness- electromagnetic exposure on modern sailing vessels is detrimental to anyone's health, who are practically living on boats, kids exposure is manyfold higher due to their small size. Navigation equipment on modern vessels is to blame.
@@MaryJones-fs4wf if you are NOT a troll and take your comment seriously, maybe go ask a nice friend to explain why your opinion is offensive. Someone you trust who maintains nice relationships with other people. And may God bless you.
I've been following your journeys Since before you two were parents .
You two Have come so far...
Literally...
Thank you so much for giving us a Glimpse into your beautiful Life...
God bless you and your family
And may your new vessel be Swift and sturdy And always bring you to safe ports Wherever You Harbor...
I don't know anything about boats but Riley does a great job explaining things. Great job mate
Thanks mate! Always trying to do better.
@@SailingLaVagabonde Crash proof :D
What a life you two have made for yourselves. I'm endlessly impressed.
I am not a sailor but I am hooked on your videos. I love the passion and technology you and your family bring to the vids. I am really looking forward to the new boat. Your adventures will keep me glued to the channel every week. Thanks for the sailing spirit and the family participation.
It’s more than living vicariously through you all, it’s enjoying people who’ve worked hard, been willing to share themselves and open their lives to people like me. Personally I’m looking forward to the next 5 years of SLV!
You guys fueled the spark of love and admiration i had for the ocean into something I couldn’t have ever imagined. I’ve fallen in love with sailing, diving and all things water bc of your channel.
On another note, Lenny saying bye to the camera made me realize that while millennials+ have become reliant on phones and screens, these next generations will view cameras/phones/etc. in a completely different light. Instead of seeing a camera, they’ll see an audience (I’m sure as filmmakers, you experience some sense of this already). I’m curious to see what unique views on technology your kids will have given their upbringing. I hope they grow up to realize how lucky they are for having such cool parents!
I love your videos!!! You guys are my inspiration, I wanna be able to travel the world like you guys with a family of my own some day! Thank you for posting your videos, I know at times its hard and rough to upload, with wifi speeds, editing, rendering, with kids, and with life in general, etc... But I just want you guys to know, its not going to waste. You are changing peoples lives minute by minute, hour by hour! And just so you guys know, you have changed my life as well!
We sometimes meet people in anchorages, on beaches and in Marinas who let us know we have changed the trajectory of their lives. It really is a beautiful thing to experience first hand.
'changing lives' by the minute' 😅 ...surgeons change lives,those who dedicate their lives to animal rescue and activism change _lives,_ lifeboat, firefighter and ambulance crew change lives, animal rescue charities change lives, prosthetists change lives, nurses change lives, dentists change lives, cancer charities change lives, those who make wigs for alopecia & Cancer sufferers change lives,fosterers change lives, cancer _researchers_ change lives
...freeloading RUclipsRS _do_ _not_ change lives!
Not hard....Wifi on STARLINK is world wide.
I missed a few videos since I’ve been out in the wilderness for a while, just got back and clicked on this video and holy s*** the boys are getting big.
Edit: it’s been said a million times before by a million people, but your channel inspires me to live a better life. It shows what’s really possible to do with your life when you’re intelligent and kind-hearted.
TET was hysterical in Vietnam , Reilly fixing his passport and the re-uniting with family . Real solid project you 2
The progression in you guys life thru this whole journey we get to see on RUclips is perfect example of doing the hard work step by step will lead you to the place you to be at. Step by step, building since adulthood to wherever after that. Beautiful beautiful examples you are my Aussies, cant wait to see what the trimaran life gonna have in the bag for us to watch & enjoy. Yeew 🤙
Elay's voice tour voice is amazing haha. I love that you guys keep the awkward/moments of self-awareness in the vids.
I'm a mountaineer, living in a mountain village, going to the mountains for almost all holidays etc. But I have been watching your videos for three years now (I think this is anniversary week ^^) and with every video I'm more like "Well, maybe I should learn to sail and get a boat and sail to wherever". I love how you show us other possibilities of leading a life
Still remember the early days of Riley getting his troops with sailing in the med... Great to see you two together, thriving, and the family growing. YAH Most High bless you all and keep you safe.
Lived aboard an 83' Sailboat in the Florida Keys in 2000. Lived in Norther Minnesota, Carmel, California, LA, McAllen, TX and Philadelphia and Dover and Lived in Spain for 3+ years in the early 80's. In Barcelona, meet this guy from South Africa who had a tri hull catamaran, and we would go out on the boat for photoshoots. Now that was fun... The problem was no social media back then. But the world was different back then. Also went to San Sebastian, Valencia, Madrid, Logrono, Pamplona, Gibraltar and other towns. Took thousands of pictures but did not have social media. So, nothing is the same now.
Been watching your video for a long time and I can say going into the guest cabin is the first time I have felt claustrophobic on a boat with you guys. Was firefighter for over 20 years and have been in some very tight spots but I think if you told me I could sail with you but I had to stay in that cabin I would say forget it. Can not wait to see you guys sailing in that boat as well as your adventures on the new boat
After years and years of watching I feel like I’m part of the family. It very weird I could literally meet you and we could start right off. I know so much about you guys. I’ve watch you to grow and grow and grow. I’m gonna get my boat someday and we are gonna meet I look so forward to it. Lenny will be about 16 when this happens. Sincerely Robert Jeter
I'd love to see lots of the islands around Polynesia. I'm a big fan of the history of the native people that traversed those islands and explored so far. it would be really cool to see the culture of the polynesian people around there to see how boating has evolved in their history and today.
Travel to Norway during summer months, the norwegian coastline is unlike anything you have ever seen before and 100% worth a stay for a few weeks.
Hello Sailing La Vagabonde crew! Thank you very much for your passion, for sharing your experiences and for being such an inspiration. I really appreciate you sharing your relationship with the ocean. Thank you for being honest and showing us your way of living and approaching life. Thank you. Sending my best wishes.
When I was young, I worked as a deckhand on a private 75’ yacht, which was pretty cool as we went everywhere to fish. Unfortunately, I get motion sickness, so waking up in the morning, I’d run outside, lean over the boat and puke, then I’d have to make breakfast for everyone. Being seasick, and cooking omelets with the eggs rolling back and forth in the pain, then going out to puke again and come back and continue cooking breakfast wasn’t exactly a great experience, but I did it for a couple years.
Anyway, the point of this ling story is, I’m not into sailing. However I live the idea of it which is why your channel caught my interest. I really enjoy watching you guys and can’t wait to see your upcoming adventures in the new boat, especially with the destinations you’ve outlined! You are a beautiful family, and your boy are very cute. Wish you guys the best.
Super excited to see how the design of your Rapido will differ from Richard’s based off your family’s needs and wants!
Dude the 40 is spacious enough for sailing with a small family. The 50 is fine to have crew on as well. The 60 has the waterline length you will appreciate in a big ocean. Having experienced the 50 now I would honestly keep the accommodation size (sqm of interior volume) steady for that boat and just concentrate on a performance increase for the 60. Its going to be massive and I intend on doing massive things in it.
@@SailingLaVagabonde I wouldn’t expect anything less!
Yes... these videos are an escape for me.. I'm living in Southwest Montana in the Madison Valley... where in two days it's going to be Minus 1 degree F..... To see green is a special thing and Riley seating in that gray T... reminds me that soon it will be warm again here..
I lived on Guam for a couple of years in the 50s... I know what the muggy heat is like.. Love the plans you have and can't wait to join your family on the journey... How lucky your boys are to experience the world... So many people grow up and live their lives in one area... Love you all
Glad you all introduced me to AG1! I get up early during the week and I definitely notice more energy throughout the whole the day! It DOES NOT taste the way it looks, a little berry/fruit like taste to me.
It is totally useless, don't´drink it when you are pregnant!
I have to say that even though I love you guys and an engaged enough to watch all your adventures, I started watching six years ago for the boats and sailing, so I'm really enjoying seeing the LaVaga pirates back on a sail boat!
ok i have no clue about sailing..but this boat seems so unappealing:D like that back bedroom gives me claustrophobic vibes:D
Totally agree & I know boats. Lived on one my whole childhood & this 40 just looks like everything is closing in on you.
R & E needs to be careful in a boat that size, they might end up having a 3rd baby being on top of one another. ................. lol........... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 .............. every room is like that on that boat.
It seems VERY unappealing for a family of 4, plus whatever friends/help is staying with them at the time. A catamaran makes so much more sense. Parents have one side, boys have the other. But instead they swapped out for a smaller boat just because it can go faster. Makes sense when they were just a couple, but it makes zero sense for a family.
Not many cats with the performance of a tri. You definitely trade space for performance, but to each their own. If space is your thing, monos are even more cost effective for similar performance to a cruising cat.
From seeing the production videos so far the 60 they are getting is much larger in the staterooms as well as every other area. Much more room for the boys inside and out
This is like saying: I don’t know much about cars but this Ferraris thingy really seems to be hard to get in and out of…. You don’t get what this boat is all about…
Maybe you can explain how is this new trimaran safe for your two small boys? In a future video... and how you going to adjust it to fit the needs of your young boys! Darwin needs enough space to play, lenny will need schooling@ sum point. Where will they sleep when you two are below in your cabin?
This new upbeat very compressed and dense format of videos you've started producing is really good. A definite step-up. Idk who edits your videos but clearly it's someone's full time job to make these.
A fabulous example of the power of mind and spirit creating a creative and exciting life. Well done you two dreamers.
Totally agree
Would love to watch you guys sail around the greek islands!
I’ve been sick for a number of years and can not spend any time in hot weather. Your videos are really satisfying my want of seeing all of these beautiful places. Would love to see you in New England off the coast of Maine down to Florida and see the amazing transformations from north to south! We have a beautiful coast with so much to see and do!! Thank you so much for all the hard work and for allowing us a glimpse of paradise ❤
So happy to see Riley so excited to sail the trimaran's! Can't wait to see you all in the new BIG trimaran being built!! Just really enjoy watching you all each week! PS: Love the animations! They get better and better each time! :)
I think there's a link to the animators in the description. 👍
My take from an old sailor:
-that boat can go 25 knots, but if it hits a container at that speed...it will be a totaled. The only way to go that fast safely with that boat is to have an Scout ahead...or a sonar...
-they r preping their kids to have their own America's Cup Team...to bring back to Australia and keep it there.
-followers r asking for a new boat...Pronto...
-this boat is like an arrow in the storm, the design is 60 center/20 ama/20 ama, that makes the boat more of a bouncy ride rather than bumpy ride....bouncy is much better.
-by the way, when u hear fellow sailors saying that they want a fast boat to run away from a storm, well...a true sailor does not do that, safety when sailing is priority and there is not safety going at full speed...
Amazing boat, can’t wait to see how yours turns out with all the special touches you’ve designed for it . Your sail plan sounds like a dream bucket list trip if I was ever to win the lottery, but I will enjoy travelling along with you virtually 🫶⛵️
Maybe we should invite some Patrons along... I've been thinking more and more about how to get people interested in the lifestyle of sailing.
⛵️🛟⚓️❤💚💛🥰Lenny boy.... I saw you in a movie on canadian Netflix called "True spirit". I'd recognize Lennys cute little face and haircut anywhere, lol. It's the first minute in the movie. Another great episode. Thanks for the boat tour. The kids are growing so fast. Can't wait for next weeks episode....I'm addicted to ya'll ❣️
I love seeing your family back on a boat! Thank you for another amazing video❤
You should come to Seychelles! It’s in the Indian Ocean. Mahé is the main island but there are 115 islands that make up the whole Seychelles. The beaches are beautiful.
I know it's all about performance, but with 2 kids etc full time live aboard I don't think it's a practical choice but I can't wait to see how you make it work for you all and the very best ...... All exciting stuff
Remember this one they went on is 50% smaller
@@loveoracle8797 30% 40ft as opposed to 60ft
I agree Steven...Riley is only thinking of his need for speed and the boat is totally impractical for a family plus nanny. It's like buying a Ferrari instead of a family sedan for a family with two toddlers.
@@bynoebynoe9677 surface area is square of length
@@beazleteats4031 Glad to see you chose wisely with your Couch.... now you can pompously dictate what choices others should make. Good Grief!!
Toured the Rapido 40 at the Miami International Boat Show, and it was beautiful. Looks like it will be a perfect couple's Boat who wants a comfortable performance multihull.
I am so excited for you guys and what a great chance to get more familiar with a Trimaran before christening your very own. I do look forward to your adventures every week.
OMG… been away for a year or so… now I need to catch up!!! WOW, it’s amazing what happens to babies. When they are lived deeply, fed very well, schooled in the world, they become incredible teens and adults
Love the trimaran, plus the animation is great!
Hello good day to ya all
I do enjoy Elayna’s boat voice, it’s great to see just how roomy they are. I’m so glad Darwin is better. I always look forward to seeing your plans it’s exciting. I’ve never been on a boat.
Keep being amazing see you all next time. 💐💕☮️💕
Hey! My husband and I were watching the movie True Spirit on Netflix and we believe they used a clip from Sailing La Vagabonde of Lenny jumping on the trampolines. So cool if it’s true!
Yes, if true, that was weird.
Yes they asked us for permission and of course that was fine. Anything to help out a fellow Aussie showcase something as incredible as what she did. :)
You hit the nail on the head as to one of the reasons why so many people love your videos. I've gotten to the age after many fun, exciting, interesting adventurous years, no regrets, that I'm really not up to doing these things myself anymore. Plus I get seasick/motion sickness now. The way you guys film is so good that unlike some videos I've tried to watch, yours in the worst conditions, don't make me feel ill. Lol, I guess you could say that your videos don't make me sick. Thank you and God bless.
Seriously the Rapido Trimaran is insane, what a beauty! Can't wait for La Vagabonde III! How about sail down the East Coast of Australia and then to Aotearoa (AKA Middle Earth)? And please! When you sail through the Cook Strait, you have a sail into Marlborough Sounds, it's absolutely stunning! The Kenepuru Sounds and Punga Cove is so gorgeous, sandy beaches and the coastline is strung with lush natives, you can also snag yourself a few blue cods and blue warehou!
Grow up! "Middle Earth" is a name of a place in a children's story. New Zealand is the name you meant to say. Have some respect!
@@shoutatthesky Problem is so many live in a fantasy world rather than the real world, so happy to see someone else calling our country by its proper name New Zealand
@@paton57 'Aotearoa' is also acceptable if you are talking to other New Zealanders.
You must think this is lord of the rings?
@@shoutattheskySo are you against New Zealand being referred to as Aotearoa?
Make sure you allow for a week or three in Abel Tasman and Marlborough sounds before having a few nights in Wellington for heading to South America.. I’m sure we could catch for a few beverages and sort accom etc Cheers Si
I appreciate your boat will be different to the 40 but I'll be honest guys, I prefer the interior layout of a cat to a trimaran, not that I'm an expert. Having said that, I'm looking forward to seeing you back out there on the ocean doing what we all tune in for, diving fishing & sailing stuff.
Not sure why so many people feel the need to express their opinion. I think it's obvious by now that this sailing couple knows what they're doing.
I get emotional watching your videos. Thank you so much for sharing some moments of your lives and adventures with us. I wish I was young again.
I must ask, how much living space are you loosing for the family? I mean the catamaran had four very nice cabins with a very nice saloon. Do you gain more living space on the trimaran or loose space on the trimaran? Just wondering for the family.
You should go through the Estrecho de Magallanes. Its south to Chile and takes you to Argentina. You have Ushuaia there that is the southest city in the world. Its really really cute, and Argentina for foreigners its pretty cheap
You can go up through the Atlantic, visit Brazil and go back to the Pacific ocean passing by the Panama channel that is AMAZING
I get that the boat is exciting, but when its your home, how much comfort is it worth sacrificing for speed? Especially with 2 kids aboard.
It’s a 40 footer, their boat is a 60 footer
I just love your little cartoon animations that you give us
Well honestly I don't know who this 40ft trimaran will suit. I guess a couple ?
But I can't believe a third person would need to tunnel their way through to their sleeping area. And only one head?
I'd say this is for short trips not permanent living.
Loved the walkthrough of the 40. Wouldnt want to crawl into the second sleeping cabin, but thinking that will not be the setup in yours. Excited to see how the kids get along on the 40 test run.
Hola chicos !!!!! Que alegría por su visita a Patagonia en el Sur de Chile y a Rapa Nui 😊 les encantará mi hermoso país. Yo he visitado Rapa Nui y es enigmático y una isla con muchos secretos y Puerto Montt en Patagonia es bellísimo !!!!
Suerte en esta nueva aventura ❤
I've watched your channel for around 5 years and I've always wanted you to sail around Scotland
Wow absolutely loved this video. We love ❤️ listening to Rhiley he should talk more often! Can't wait to see you on the move and here Rhiley telling us about the trimaran. Can't believe how big the boys are getting Lenny is such a little gentleman now bless them both. ❤️ Safe travels guys. 🙏
Sail to Japan, I think you all would love Yakashima, it has a world heritage old site of growth forest. There are a bunch of islands to visit. Also can you show how the pontoons retract. Enjoy your shake down cruise
Love this. Can't wait for the first new boat tour, quite exciting
If you are sailing in South East Asia, you need to visit North Borneo. Borneo being the 3rd biggest island in the world has lots to offer and some spectacular sailing and surfing as well!
The amount of time and effort put into these video's is insane:-) Really looking forward to seeing you guys on the new machine!!
Hi Elayna and Riley I’ve been watching you guys since you where on lavaga the 1st and I was 12!! I’m now 18 and living in Koh Tao, Thailand would love to take you guys scuba diving if you ever stop by. Happy sailing peeps 🤙🏼
You have to go to Patagonia, there are penguin colonies and great to see their activities first hand. We have cruised around the fjords there and scenery wonderful. I’ve never been to the South Pacific Islands so would love to see them through your eyes. As for the Rapido, it’s going to be so different for you and the boys. Hope there is plenty of room for them to play. Riley looks like all his Christmases have come at once 😀. I love all your haircut styles btw 😉. Always enjoy your vlogs thanks !
You bet your bollocks to a barndance we're going to Patagonia Barbra. ;)
Is that a South Australian saying, my family live there and I dont recognise 🤔😉
I'm pretty sure you realize what an amazing life you're leading. I can tell you, its alot of fun following your journey right here from my couch. Have a wonderful sail and know you are loved ❤.
The old catamaran seemed spacious, open and perfect. This boat is so much smaller. The big step down from the cockpit. The sleeping quarters are so tight and the galley so narrow.
My main question is: Why did you leave / sell your old catamaran? It seemed absolutely perfect. Why did you choose this trimaran? It seems so small.
Please answer.
♡Love you guys♡
This is not the size boat they are building- it will be larger than this as he explained in the video
@@hannahlawrence8973
Thank you!
From the shots in Thailand looks like these wide beam Tri’s never fit in a slip, ie dockside only? I’ve never found a marina that would tolerate long term dockside, say, days and weeks. Mooring is great many times. But In a place where im going ashore everyday for something, and doing big meals and lots of showers, got to have that slip and shore power.
Sorry but there's nothing I like about the 40, everything looks so cramped. I hope the 60 is a big improvement.
Its pitching into the the Scandinavian Dragonfly range so
You start having to compare them and the ergonomics.
Nothing sexy about this boat, looks like gel coat everywhere
Nothing half a million $’s trading up to the 60 won’t fix: Tri’s are stupid expensive, even the 880 Corsair with a trailer is close to $340k AUD.
@@id10tcertified
Price is the factor with multihulls... but Sailing Dawn and Twilight show the way.. Performance Tri's will always be a bit pinched below decks ... If you follow conventional hydrodynamic thinking.
There are signs that new materials and thinking may start to make in roads... but you might end up with something that doesnt look like a conventional sailing boat at all.🤫😉⛵
@@anothercar Thats carbon fibre .. and wt is a premium as is the ability to wash down and wipe away stuff when your feeding two little kids and a crew at sea.
Theres also the fact that it reduces the risk of disease and pest transmission..
It may be minimalist to some but thats a personal choice a lot of live aboard cruisers opt for rather than for the more conventional domestic or historic maritime style. 🤷🏻♂️
Its like picking between a Bentley verses a McLaren.
I formerly owned an Corsair F31 trimaran. Longest offshore was San Diego to Cabo San Lucas. At one point was about 150 miles offshore surfing 40' wave's was amazing & I agree I wouldn't be taking my family on such a trip. 15 knots is a very sweet spot. 20 becomes stressful after hours of scanning the horizon so you don't hit anything because man you come up on stuff fast. Especially when you're dropping down and surfing on a wave It's thrilling and stressful. I had one other mate onboard. I love Trimarans. They tend to dance on the hook The trick is to rig a jackaline off the arma to the anchor rode creating a bridal like arrangement centering the anchor line between the ama and bow, the boat settles right down. Cheers from Northern California!!!.
Was it bumpy or bouncy,like a boat, the ride?
How did you get the audio so clear and crisp at 3:00 when Riley is doing the boat tour with it being so windy? That was really impressive.
Possibly use AI to remove background wind noise and boost audio?
Yes actually!! Well not AI, just an Adobe program.. but it’s pretty high tech 😮 the wind noise was so bad before and now it sounds like he had a mic on lol.
- elayna
@@SailingLaVagabonde Thank you for the reply! I was seriously staring at his shirt trying to find a clip on mic the whole time 😂 Glad the program worked so well. Really sounds great!
@@SailingLaVagabonde Adobe Audition? Very powerful program, did some audio edits in that too, and it's amazing how much of background audio you can get rid of before it starts to mess up the audio you want to keep 👍
Not sure if you were asking 'where do you want us to visit' referred to the Pacific or the world, so I have two lists:
1 Pacific - French Polynesia OF COURSE, but I'd love to see your comparison of Samoa (British Commonwealth) to American Somoa, and visit Solomon Is, Papua New Guinea then whiz north to Japan, then across to Canada ...
2 World - Brittany, France, Atlantic coast of France, Algeria, Tunisia, Italy, Greece, any part of west cost UK from Shetland to Scilly Is.
I think Japan would be my main "need to see, to visit" place
I could watch a 2 hour technical boat tour of the Rapido Trimarans. I know they are busy but could you talk Rapido into putting out more content on these incredible boats?
I broke my neck in 07. Watching you guys helps me get that hit of adventure. Thank you ☺️
i dont know..is a sligtly faster trimaran really worth it.. your catamaran just seems way easier to live with or?
The Rapido looks like it will be approximately 2x the speed of the Outremer on most points of sail.
@@SailingLaVagabonde wow ok thats another story then
LOVE Riley’s hair cut and the bun 🎉
Just one concern. Will you have safety railing on the side for the kids, like on your other boat?
Great point
No they won't worry about their children at all. Stupid comment
@@bynoebynoe9677 &Tina, agreed, 60ft tri, rotating wing mast, no guardrails of any use on that 40 in the video. I think the performance aspect of the 60 will take them by surprise and they are very exposed on that boat.
@@davidLPST It won't take me by surprise.
We will but many will think not enough. Whilst sailing the kids will be down below or inside as usual.
Make sure you don’t miss out on a visit to Papua New Guinea. The coastal areas are beautiful and the people are generally friendly. I spent 8 years there and will be returning on my Fraser 41 monohull.
People not listening to them say it's a 50% smaller rapido than normal at the beginning of the video is making me die laughing, guys chill this ain't what they will be living on 😂
I'm not sure if you already know this but Raja Ampat is in the center of the Coral Triangle, and is considered one of the most biodiverse spots, and maybe the most biodiverse marine ecosystem on Earth! Can't wait to see what you do there!
There boat is a BIT longer but I don’t think this is a rig meant for children, it’s meant for performance. I realize this isn’t there boat, but it’s DAMN CLOSE! Maybe they have other plans for the kiddos? I’m sure grandparents wanna see them. But not a family boat.
Our boat is 50% bigger than this.
@@SailingLaVagabonde wow, that’s a big difference. Honestly thought your boat was going to about this size, but double that is a game changer! I apologize. I’ll be watching regardless. Stay safe
Escapism... exactly!!! Thank you both for all you do.
This boat is not my favorite. Seems it is not a family boat at all. Very tight and accommodations seem designed for racing, in a word minimalist. I would change to another large Cat. Be comfortable and above all, be safe.
You guys should come to the the Pacific North West. Don't come in the winter. Arrive in June and leave in September. Desolation sound is gorgeous so are the broughtons. Dreamspeaker cruising guides are the best for the PNW. You could come by the galapagos and mexico on your way up.
This is from a chat below and I believe will help sharpen peoples perspectives on offshore cruising.
Calling the Rapido 60 a Ferrari is, and this is in all honesty, one of the worst takes I've heard in a long long time and goes to show you are commenting whilst being either unknowledgeable or at a minimum having expended no mental energy in your choice of analogy. It is obviously much more similar to a well appointed off-road 4WD. Its not a flimsily built speed machine (that is a TP52) it's a world cruising yacht with an unbelievably rugged design.
What the real debate is over is how comfortable can a family be in a durable offroad 4wd vs a bigger, heavier and slower off-road 4WD vs towing around a campervan. Imagine though that you're in the desert and sandstorms can flip your 4wD upside down.
Good morning from Minnesota USA!! Great episode! We are about to get 20 inches of snow, so it's quite a treat to watch your videos!!
I'm just not in love with the trimaran, but then again, I'm not the one who is sailing it.
You are immediately a total different person beeing on boat and water again. I am so happy to see you "normal" again both of you. You are not so stressed. Keep going with slow Videos I love that. Nothing to see just you on water with great water sceneries and grounding music. 🌈❤️🌍🐳💝🙏
I don't like the 40 @ all. Everything looks so tight & closed in. The outdoor space looks like you would be on top of eachother with no room to turn around without bumping into one another.
I could not sleep in that tiny room you showed. Talk about being on top of eachother you two might have a 3rd baby on the way..... lol..... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 .................. Just looks like a ruff nights sleep.
Just every room looks so little. I wouldn't buy a 40 @ all. IMO!
OH, MAN!!! I am so excited about your upcoming plans, Thank you so much for sharing your journeys, and your passion for travel and sailing. Keep on keeping on.
Doesn’t look family friendly. More like saying we are all going camping in a dodge challenger. Curious as to how this will work with 2 growing boys. Looks cramped and to be honest junky.
Lenny and Darwin are SO CUTE. They look like older and younger versions of the same boy - (except for the eyebrows which are more rounded on Darwin).
Trying to sell this boat has more room than your old boat ... r u kidding me ....see how you get to the guest bedroom. The other boat had 2 walkin bedroom.
Listen it does no good to try to convince people that what they want isn’t what they think it is. I’ve sailed most my life and a tri with two kids is absolutely insane. Cats are the only boats that have the width that creates that living room feel. But the reality is they want speed. Performance. And are willing to lose all the open spaces.
For now. 😂. I don’t see them in it for more than a few years. If that. But to each his own.
✨💚🌎💚✨
OMGODDESS
EVEN 50% LARGER
ITS STILL TINY!
THE REPEEDO IS LIKE IT SAYS!! ALL ABOUT THE SPEED & OUTER
APPEARENCE!!
GOOD LUCK!!🧚
That is a HORRIBLE looking boat! I certainly wouldn't take my children on it!
