Go fucking bald!!
More tunes Eliana!
Totally blown away by the explanations over your electric system, and to think what could come up in the future? I was thinking, it's so incredible and could be so incredible, so given that much power, could the new boat fly? Just wow! I hope you'll never need a Dudley Do right helping it to be password protected. So glad Darwin is better he just needed meds and his mom! So glad he's back to normal. Your book looks amazing!
I am a beginner RUclipsr and would really appreciate any advice on how I can improve my videos.
It’s incredible how much Darwin looks like his older brother! Glad the little guy’s feeling better.
I agree, Darwin changed so much recently. He's such a big boy now, and looks very much like Lenny! 💞
Happy to see Darwin on the mend. Can’t believe how big Lenny is now, such a handsome boy.❤️ The boat is coming along!👏🏻👏🏻
As a Finn it's so cool to see you guys, Australians, use Finnish products and software on you boat, in Vietnam, and having a US partner to help with the install!! So crazy how worldwide this build is
The technology in your boat is absolutely mind blowing. After hearing some of the nautical speeds in relation to discharge times, I'm finally realizing just how freaking fast this boat is going to be. It's just Next level.
Guys your animations in video have gotten amazing!! The cartoons are so fun and when explaining how something works or highlighting things on whiteboard for example, it really enages my brain!
You are soooo lucky to have Derek onboard. Derek was instrumental in the design and implementation of our Ocean Volt conversion on our #Bayfield 29. Love watching your progress on Valentines Day.
The way Elayna laughed when Lenny was asleep on the table 🤣🤣 She's got the cutest laugh and I couldn't help but laugh right along with her. And no guys, you're NOT bad parents. Not even in the slightest! Also, soon after the clip with Lenny sleeping on the table..was that Elayna singing in the background? I feel like it was and.. If so....WOW! Your voice is freaking BEAUTIFUL!!
I agree, what’s a kids life if they don’t fall asleep on a table once in awhile. Hahaha You guys are giving so much experience to your kids and they will definitely benefit from that.
Seriously, you guys make me so happy every Tuesday morning! It's one of the many things I wake up excited for! Glad to see the two little sailors on the mend, and they have grown heaps! Can't wait to see her out on the water, not long to go! However, have to ask, with an electronic propulsion system and controls, are you worried about lightning strikes?
He just showed us that there is a back-up in the form of a regular Yanmar diesel engine on this boat. So I don't see how it would be any different from any other boat with a regular diesel engine...
there will be a lightning rod as well fitted on the boat.. not a problem. If you know what a lightning rod looks like. its the one used to bring down the weather wizard in Flash.
Absolutely magical episode!! The cut backs between Elayna and the boys and Riley were so well done!! And the specs on the electrical system got me so stoked and I don't even have boat!! This episode could've been an hour long and would still have been perfect!! Thanks so much SLV!!
I'm not often genuinely excited for RUclipsrs, but I can't wait to see you guys back on the water!!
Glad to see that Darwin is feeling better. Lenny is growing up to be a good big brother. The boat is coming along can't wait to see it in the water.
I was so excited to see your video today, so glad Darwin is better.❤ Boat is going to be top notch. PS. Love how at the beginning Riley told Elayna she looked beautiful when she was feeling so tired.
TRUE SPIRIT!!! ELAYNA PLEASE READ THIS ⛵️TRUE SPIRIT!!!!! OMG LENNY IS IN THIS MOVIE, I WOULD RECOGNIZE HIM ANYWHERE! HE APPEARS AT THE 27TH SECOND IN THE BEGINNING. I NOTICED HIS ADORABLE FACE AND HIS HAIR CUT LOL AND WAS LIKE....THAT'S LENNY FROM SAILING LA VAGABONDE. SO I WATCHED THE CREDITS AND SURE ENOUGH IT'S UNDER THE STOCK FOOTAGE PROVIDED BY. THIS IS SO EXCITING, CONGRATULATIONS LENNY BOY!! 🎊 👏
The animations in the first part of this video are just amazing and sooo funny! The propulsion/regen electrical system looks amazing. Can't wait to see it all in action and see how well predictions match reality. Fantastic episode and so glad Darwin is healthy again. Lastly...that cliffhanger at the end was....cinematically it was brilliant...but, bugger all, it left us hanging.
I’m not a sailor, but I’m obsessed with everything about sailing on the ocean. I can only imagine this new engine set up is every sailors, wet dream. So excited for you guys all of us over here. Can’t wait to see that beautiful Tri in the water for the first time.
I am so relieved to see that Darwin is doing so much better. I was so worried it seems like it’s been for ever since I’ve seen you guys. The boat is coming along fabulously. I love that propeller. stellar. You all look well. I’m so happy. Thank you sending love from California.⛵️🥸🤟🏻💜🤗🇺🇸
Oh, my Elayna You have a very beautiful singing voice. I'm glad your little man is feeling better.🏵
Awww I’m so happy seeing Darwin back to having fun with his brother; he looking so much better he’s getting his color back. I just have to say ; you guys amaze me… I just love watching your videos but I feel like I know you guys you make me feel like part of your journeys. Also proud of you girrl, riding a scooter scary but your incredibly amazing. Ty for sharing your build and your life with us. Sending you lots of hug’.
I’m soo excited for you all. See you soon 🥰🤗♥️
Also, listening to Derek explain things to you was awesome. What a great guy he’s so knowledgeable.
I'm glad your little one is back on his feet. It's always scary when our little ones are sick. Nice job on the plant purchase and location placement. Very interesting about all that technology can give to aid to boat safety.
Thanks stay safe and have fun.
Congrats on the kids book! Can’t wait to order one! The boat is looking amazing
Very glad the little fella is better….The boat is looking epic. Enjoy x
I’m so very glad Darwin was finally feeling better. Nothing worse than sick kids. Alana, I absolutely love hearing you sing, such a sweet voice. I am not blessed with a singing voice, so I’m envious.
I love that you guys are doing such a great job for the environment on your boat build. I loved hearing about it. And I love that you guys are thinking about worst case scenarios as if you had to get away from a hurricane and such. Keep these coming. I look forward every week to new details. Stay well and blessings.
21:25 wow what great guys, like the way he is just like we'll find a home for your things made me so happy inside. I just immediately felt a family vibe, that's how your family talks to you! ♡
I’ve been praying for little Darwin. So very glad to hear he’s improving. Scary!
Glad the boat is coming along, and those are very nice choices of plants Elayna. So very glad Darwin is feeling better.....he and Lenny are just the cutest!!
So many prayers for sweet Darwin ❤ Praying for a speedy recovery for your sweet baby!
I’m so excited for you to have your boat finished! It’s getting closer!
I love all the technical side of this episode it was super interesting and educational. So glad the kiddos are doing better!
This was such a fun episode. I loved the back and forth clips between Riley and Elayna.
The plants make such an awesome difference!
So glad to see Darwin feeling better!! I love every adventure you guys go on,sorry Riley hope you make it back to Bali 🌟I cannot wait for the first sail ,I hope you film it for us to see ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey hey beautiful fam, I just am watching now… can’t wait it’s nice to see what’s going on with the boat build and waiting to hear about little Darwin I’ve been sending lots of loveable hugs le vibes for the little guy. 💕
Mind-boggling! I dearly love the technical portion of Rapido. Thanks for sharing. 👍
He's grown so much since the last time I seen him, he looked really sick glad he's doing better.
Wonderful episode! So pleased Darwin is feeling better! The plants do add so much to a home. Great job! The boat electronics are fascinating even though I don’t have a clue!😉 I’m so excited for y’all! The boat is going to be grand!
Aww ❤poor baby Darwin. I am so glad he is feeling much better! Great video. I can’t believe how huge this sail boat is! Can’t wait to see it on the water. 🛥️⛵️❤️
So thankful Darwin is feeling better. I was very concerned. Glad things are getting better. Girlfriends are important! You go girl! Safe travels for Riley!
Have you guys looked into a "Toroidal" prop for the new boat? Recent discovery at MIT that have show a 200% efficiency gain over traditional designs. Cheers
This is one amazing video! Your editing skills and ability to tell a story in a very understandable manner are simply the best! Thank you to one of the very finest RUclipsrs out there!
Love all of you! Such a precious, loving family!
So happy and relieved Darling Darwin has recovered, and that you can relax a bit more now! In Indonesia, please ensure that y'all protect your feet all, if not most, of the time by wearing footwear (flip-flops, etc.)!
As a marine electrician, I've been looking forward to this episode :) Also looking forward to your B&G nav suite install.
Its all coming together nicely
Incredible! You guys, the level of tasks and work and family you deal with is 1000% motivational, inspirational, simply on another level! I very much appreciate you sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly. For sharing reality. We don't get to see a lot of that from our digital peers, which is unfortunate. Darwin is getting so big! In one take I thought he was Lenny! I love that you are raising two world travelers that get to grow up in an environment of open-mindedness, experiencing a plethora of cultures, learning what it means to work hard to achieve life goals. You two are amazing! I wish you continued success, in all your endeavors. I can't wait to see you sailing on the Rapido! Seriously, I'm doing the pee-pee dance, I'm so exceited for it!
I`ve binge watched all the previous episodes, and absolutely adore your family and blog. Thank you for sharing your travels and experiences, I cant wait to see the finished catamaran and future adventures.
Glad for the little one hopefully all good from here! Love how you integrated your song love it thanks!
I like this episode! It is good to see that Darwin is recovering, but it just feels like you should have a land home base because kids need friends and stability. The plants really give your home warmth.
That said, the ship is really coming along! I love all of the information about the power propulsion! Very fascinating, and I love the animation! They help. (Helsinki is where my husband is from!)
Love Elanya's music!
Always happy to see Elayna singing. I recognize it as her being happy/stable in her current place in the world. Bali is always good for the sole
Bali's rough ground is not so good for everyone's soul but suits roughty-toughty Aussi's.
This is the best singing I've seen from Elayna! (scene from Elaina?). Genuinely impressed
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 you all !!! Ty for always just being the special family you are!!
Thank you Edd! Glad you got them working. Kudos.
That regen capability combined with the massive momentum of the Rapido makes for a serious weapon! When the zombie apocalypse happens this is going to be super handy. Derek is super handy too!
Guys I gotta know... who does your animations and caricatures? They are so excellent!!! Cartoon Riley is my favorite!
Glad the babies feeling better. I’m excited for you guys. Can’t wait for you to get on the water. Electric system is mind-boggling. Very impressive. Stay safe.
The new boat just breathtaking…I cannot wait to see more on board, in action
Wow, dual propulsion systems. The Oceanvolt system looks great. Really nice to have a somewhat in-depth explanation of how it's all going to work for you. Shame you can't get anything back from the constant drag you'll have from the inboard diesel prop, but at least it'll be there if you need it. Wondering what the large hollowed-out area in the transom, beneath the dinghy mounts, is going to be. I know there'll be a rudder there at some point, but is it housed inboard a bit, requiring that hollowed-out space? Really interesting seeing this all coming together. So sorry about the bureaucratic BS you're having to deal with regarding your passport, though. That's pretty stupid. Hope you're able to get a quick fix to that situation and get back to your family.
That was a great video!
I had a bunch of technical questions. I love the way they were all answered! Hope you get home to the wife and kids soon
What a blessing Lenny is feeling better❤ that new boat and all the new fancy parts will be so fun to sail I’m thinking...Happy Valentines Day and I pray Riley made it back safely❤❤❤ blessings and much Aloha 🙏💜🌎☮️🌎💜🙏🛥
Great video. Nice to have updates on both Riley and the boat along with Elana and the kids.
Yeah! an electrifying episode 🙌👍
Poor Darwin, nothing as pitiful as a sick baby. I can't believe how much he's grown and Lenny too!! 😢💙 I miss their tow heads and being brown babies 😍💙
Another wonderful update on you all and the new home boat! ❤
Happy to see those 2 guys are feeling better, soon they will look like twins. Hope your break was enjoyable. The boat is coming along nicely.
Been waiting for this episode for so long but so worth the wait 😊
I love learning about your electric propulsion system. I work for the Chicago Electric Boat Company where we rent out several different types of all-electric boats along the Chicago river! We love eco-friendly boats and seeing you guys make this change is exciting. Your electric setup is actually pretty similar to how we wire our boats as well! Cheers!
Of course I have followed your journeys since you started sailing on a monohull. It makes me happy to "get away" with you guys. I love your new trimaran and especially this episode's technical information and explanation regarding your electrical systems. Well done!
I love the little drawings that someone on your team is doing just about in every episode.... What talent!
As an electric car owner who is researching an electric motor for our boat, I am seriously geeking out in this video! Love the regen! Well done Riley! So happy Darwin is feeling better as well! ❤
Yayyyy hahaha I’m so glad to hear. This one was definitely more for the ‘geeks’ 😉
I love the concept of the electrical propulsion! I think it's great you are opting in for all of the available safety features, Riley. Modern technology amazes me! Thx for this neat stuff!
❤️ from Michigan USA
You guys are Great and thank you for sharing the adventure! Cool hair cut Mad Max Riley!
MISSED ya last week, so excited I saw this video come up!!! I’ve been checking 😅 hope you had a break was ok. Hope Darwin gets back to feeling himself soon 😢
We’re so happy to be back 🥺 but the week off was really needed. Feeling super recharged and so excited for the content to come ⛵️⛵️🌊
@@SailingLaVagabonde Ugh just finished watching, hope everything works out with the passport!! 🙁
LOL - - They do say leave sleeping dogs lie. And I have done this many a time, and grabbed picture evidence of course ready for their 18th birthdays 🤣🤣Your not a bad parent - - your a fun parent.
Happy to see Darwin recovering well. Aside from that it looks like it's gonna be an absolutely awesome boat. Can't wait to see your entire family sailing on it. I don't know why but it's just so uplifting watching all your family endeavors for the past many years. It has helped me be a better parent, husband and all round human. Thank you.
Can’t believe how much Darwin has grown! Glad he is getting better. He’s not a baby anymore and now a big boy! Oh so hard when our babies grow up. Mine are 20&24 and will always be my baby boys. It does fly by and I’m so glad you are able to spend so much quality time with them and they get to sail and see the world. Everything else takes a backseat to my guys and I see you are that way with your family too. Can’t wait to see you on the water again soon. Love and blessings.
Riley could talk about the technicalities of laying bricks and it would still be interesting.
All things Ocean Volt is remarkable and whilst not understanding much of your conversation with Derek, I know enough that it is smart and sustainable technology. Well done, guys! 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ
Glad the little guy is feeling better. Now I am more excited about the boat build with the backup diesel added. family first. Good job.
What a boat. so exciting to see it in the water.
So sad to see the boy sick. good thing he's getting better again. 🙂
as a dad,...... i watch these parenting style vlogs with a palpable relationship to the feelings youre describing and showing!
VERY very well done mom!!!!
Great job dad! 🤜🏼🤛🏼
#kiddosrule
Hey guys, your propulsion system seems to be super cool. Especially with the ability to regenerate so much power.
But do you guys now have two separate propellers for the Electric and the Diesel engine? If yes, is this a common thing to do or does that bring new problems? (Maybe also to all the boatbuilders out there 😃) oh and great to see that everyone is doing better now ☺️
agree confused what the decision was.
I'm pretty sure that the diesel engine powers the battery if it gets to low
The diesel engine has a separate propeller (he refers to it as an 'engine', rather than a 'generator'. So yes, it has a separate prop to the electric motor. Check out the screenshot at 21:46. Electric prop is behind the diesel engine prop. Bit of a shame in my eyes. Redundancy, yes, but extra complexity and probably more drag when sailing. If the electric motor is as reliable as he says, a simple generator could provide it with power when necessary instead of dragging an extra prop around all the time that'll hardly ever be used.
Keep up the good work, love the in-depth technical data of electrical install
The plants look amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Elayna, so caring, strong, and talented
how many time do we carry our kids to bed as they are growing. but then one day we realize that they are grown and too big to be carried. but at some point, we carried them to bed for the last time, and we had no idea it was the last time. it was such a non-event that we cant even remember the last time.
but if some one had told you this was the last, how important would it have been? Cherish every moment! :)
🥲 I think like this sometimes. Thank you for this comment mate it really hit me.
Glad Darwin is better, sick kiddos are never fun. Glad Lenny wasn’t sick as well. Can’t wait to see the boat sail! So excited for you guys!
So glad Darwin is back to his little charming self. Excited about the progress on your floating home✌️💜
I went through serious withdrawal symptoms because you didn't post last week....... I've been checking RUclips everyday...... Guys don't abandon me like that again please!!!!
I’m confused... Did you end up swapping the electric ocean volt motor for a traditional diesel in the end?
He's got an electrically driven prop, and a Yanmar diesel with a very large alternator/generator on it.
So far as I can see, no direct mechanical connection. If his 48V electrical system dies, propulsion is gone too.
This boat is designed to cross the Atlantic or even the Pacific with just one weekly video on the water. He means to keep moving when other boats are becalmed, and sail around nasty weather. I hope they've designed that cockpit to reduce wind noise, because there's going to be a lot of wind!
He's got both, 21:42 minute mark.
We haven’t really but if I’m sailing it we’ll it’ll be on AP most of the time.
My wife and I love you guys and truely care about you. We are day one fans and have not missed a "movie", as Riley would say. We have a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer, first year model, and it has sooooo much technology and they have botched it up so bad it is ridiculous. I'm watching all this and just praying it all works! :) And that Riley can fix it out in the middle of the ocean when it breaks! But I'm sure Riley will hit the books and be an expert on all of this electric propulsion very quickly. Safe travels.
Hi Riley,
Jason here, a marine sparky from Newcastle AUS.
I have installed a twin 15kw Oceanvolt system on a Shonning Cat here in Oz.
Make sure that Derek shows you how to replace components in the Drive (Dc contractor) and sensor on top of the Drive, and you are familiar with the software to reset the drive if you are out of internet service.
Just confirm with Derek that if your batteries are flat that you still operate the drive via your genset. On our vessel the genset would only charge into the batteries not drive the Oceanvolt drive.
I am concerned that it is only a single drive.
All the best, love you guys and the show.
Cheers
Jason Smith

Bad manners to put your shoes on the table in the hotel room
What is more destructive to the ocean? You fly everymonth or poor fisherman in bali catch few small fish to feed his family on your last video... What a hypocryte.. 😂
100% here to witness an adventurous life with little kids! Thanks for including little slices of your adventures with two babes. Really appreciate all efforts to keep it real. Please keep it coming. :)
I’m sure that your family is reunited by now. That would be scary to be stuck with a torn passport! I’m glad Darwin is so much healthier and the plants are adding such a wonderful glow to the house. Loving all the technology for your new boat however I would be lost in remembering everything. Your song that you were singing was beautiful. It must be exciting that your possessions are now in the same place as your new boat is, getting things closer to being done!
Oh poor Darwin. So glad to see him back to himself again and I know you both are. The boat is really coming along! Oh and Rainbow Kitten Surprise is THE BEST. You did the song beautifully 😍
Wow as a sometimes watcher.. more and more recently... Wow.. Gurll you can sing and Im here for it. I Had No Idea all the THINGS.. all the THINGS... I love the boat stuff but... this was great. So sorry baby was sick.. but as quick as they get sick they bounce back.. Great Idea to keep him out of hospital.. keep it rockin.. !
You are both amazing parents. Your boys are so fortunate to be born into your love. The experiences they are gaining are shaping their future, and it is bright.
Love that you have a back up to your backups for not only the electrical, but also the ability for someone to remotely return the boat to port in the worst case scenario. Having crew is the first backup as I've seen you and Elayna both out on deck during terrible storms. If Lord forbid you both went overboard, those precious boys would be alone to what? In many ways, being out at sea might as well be out in space and manned space flight has redundancies for critical systems. Take care & God bless.
I feel you're making an incredibly smart decision in going with the desiel engine. Very wise, cool boat. Happy for you guys keep up the good work. 👍
So glad Darwin is feeling better!❤ and I hope Riles finds some glue and gets back to those babies! ❤y’all!
The educational part with the whiteboard is really nicely made!
Hope you had a lovely break always good to unwind x ❤ lovely to have you back 0:08
