****SECRET VIDEO**** PLEASE DO NOT SHARE

Spread my congratulations around! ! I could not be happier for you . . . a new, amazingly beautiful baby . . . already Lenny's best buddy . . . an incredible vessel to sail around the world at 35 km/hour . . . just amazing! (A tiny detail . . . could Riley, please get a decent hair-cut! Thank you!:-)

Honestly can’t wait to see u guys on the rapido

LOVE this! You two and your growing family are amazing. Thank you for sharing ! Appreciate all the details, the videos of the details and the entertaining in between clip of Riley drumming on the pots haha - cant miss that the spoon broke and he just kept on going :-)

Genuinely so happy for you guys, this really makes me smile and also still makes me wonder if I can ever achieve something similar. Pick your goals and go get them! Having NEVER sailed, I learn so much from you both, it is possible! The vessel looks beautiful and the centre hull makes far more sense with 2 kids! I’m looking forward to following you for many more years to come. Riley - get a haircut mate ;) Much love. JT

I guessed it Fantastic guys Amazing as always, we will see you in our waters cruising over the coming years Go guys ⛵️ well done

Hi Riley & Elana, Love that you are going with performance and you truly understand the benefits of speed and the ability to use less sails. Kudos! As an architect and ex professional sailor I hope you can do something extensive with the cabin top roof. I'd love to see this painted black on the inside or lined with a dark timber so that your eye is drawn outside rather than retained inside with the white. I'd take some inspo from the McConaghy catamarans that have the sliding windows and even consider having some side entrances to the cockpit space. It would be a shame to feel disconnected from the water which could happen with this design. Good on you for being bold in your choice of sailing boat rather than following the beaten paths.

Welp I waited ✋until the Video came out on YouTube because I might have been the only nutcase Patron to get mixed up and comment in the wrong place from the excitement 🙃 and be so inattentive that! It might take 2 weeks to take the comment down! I love yall congratulations! Cliff Battleship Marine! Fairhope

I saw a lot of hate going on Instagram regarding releasing this information first to patreon. So I decided to finally become one. You guys make top tier quality videos and I appreciate every single second I watch them. Thank you for taking me on a virtual vacation every Monday 🥰

Congrats! Looking forward to future adventures!!!

I’m so intrigued by this decision! I feel like everyone would have expected you guys to go for more comfort/space with a bigger brood. Curious about how you’ll take on crew!

Great idea, can't wait to know more about it!

nice video...very interesting, thanks!

Riley: "...Bringing more the Ocean to you guys" - You guys are the messengers of the Ocean.

Where’s Andre going to stay? Lol jk but for reals... looks awesome! Can’t wait for the new videos and baby #2! Congrats!

Well...not to be that guy...but it’s 50% more maran, not 30%. The current boat has two, so one more is 50% more than you currently have. But super stoked for you guys!

One

Awesome choice, Can’t wait to see you guys put this thing together!

Love it!!

I am long time viewer and a new Patron. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us.

Brilliant idea I love it⛵😎

I am convinced this is a joke or a PR stunt, because that is the dumbest idea I have heard in a long time. 🤣

Where will additional crew members sleep?

Concrats! This is amazing, totally looking forward to your adventures ahead!😍

hi you guys! Congrats! I also wanted to let you know that someone commented on the Rapido video about your choice :( don't know if there is anything you can do about it

😲😲😲 f__king awesome. Cannot wait to see you go fly that. Congratulations.

So stunning ~really excited for you guys..🌅❤️🌊⛵ Riley on the pots is awesome 😅

Stunning, stunning, stunning!

A huge congratulations on your decision 🌞🌻 Please don’t say that there are no other like this, if you haven’t seen the Dragonfly 40🤩 But I must confirm that Rapido is bigger inside 60 vs 40😅 and a wee faster😎

SO excited for you guys!! We can’t wait to watch the journey unfold!!

Can't wait for the next year of content!!! I'm as excited about the boat build as I am about seeing videos from Vietnam.

Are you going to have the funky external colors that other versions of that boat have had? A black interior is going to be interesting for filming, and seeing bugs if they get on board. A darker interior is great camouflage for pests.

Well been a fan for 4 years. You converted me from a mono hull to a catamaran. Loved the video on Comfort, speed and affordability. You changed my mind from a lagoon 56 to a Balance or a Mcconaughy 60. Cant see me on a Trimaran. however if it was speed you wanted Riley. You got it. A bit concerned about lack of space for the family. Thanks for all the education on sailing and the anything is possible support. Hope to see you on the water soon.

What a lovely insight into the future! Can’t wait to see you make the new boat into a home and excited for the vids from Vietnam! Best luck over the next few days/weeks with the arrival of the little one ❤️

I cant’t get past your hair……. Love the new ride though

looks perfect! for an awesome family of 4! adventure and joy all the way.... QUESTIONS: do you consider this trimaran eco-friendly? can you talk more about this next time? what about the solar panels?...

ohhhhh yeahhhhhh!!! Loving every chapter guys! Leanne & Gordo xx

Amazing. So cool.

Wow!! So exciting that its all coming together! Congrats <3

Congratulations!!!!! How exciting!! It’s beautiful!! Can’t wait to see the build with you guys! Love how safe it looks for the littles! Thank you for sharing the secret with us!! 🤐😘💞

What about the heeling angle for food prep and the kids moving around?

Also, between Antigua and Australia, I feel like there are a lot of backstories we're missing. Will those be coming soon or no?

Fantastic! So happy for you guys! Can't wait for more... Cheers!

Hi guys! My 1st Patreon post! Sooooo happy for your announcement! Riley you deserve this new boat! You are so smart! Elayna, so happy for the beautiful new home you will have with all the room. Before this video I just couldn’t imagine 4 of you and a (nanny)?on La Vagabond. Sending you my prayers and hugs, Ollie

Looks sick! And huge!!

Another great video guys! Good ole Riley and his antics!! Lol

Oh My good gosh and golly what a boat and what a family to sail her!

Super excited for y'all. But I can't help but wonder what the future will hold. Quatamaran?

Awesome video. So excited to follow along on this venture. Question you said ocean volt..but in video electric motor is a Yanmar?

Congratulations!! I’m so excited for you guys

Riley playing the ukulele was hilarious😂😂 soo excited for you🍾

This is so exciting! So from the beginning of watching you guys I have basically been fulfilling my dreams vicariously through you. Given all the choices and decisions you guys have made along the way I would hope that I would make the same. I really respect your opinions and your choices and the reasons that you make them. Thank you so much for bringing us a longboard! Looking forward to the coming year it’s such a new exciting time!

Congrats on the new ride! Very Exciting! Riles w pageboy on pots going for the Bonham look! https://mubi.com/cast/john-bonham

So excited for you three and soon to be four. I look forward to continue following along. Good thoughts that the birth of Finn (my vote) goes well and we see his smiling face soon.

I'm so happy and excited for you! Congrats!

Agh. I never finish, and accidentally hit "enter" and it posts before I'm done! Anyhow, I get so frustrated not knowing if we are watching you right now, and you have actually already had your baby! I just want to know so badly when!!! :) :) :)

I have never sailed a day in my life. But, this is so exciting! We have such different kinds of boats in our family. Jet sleds, etc.... and I know how fun those are to design. Can't imagine designing one to live in! :) So fun!

WOW! What a breathtaking boat!

Enjoy seeing your process on decision making. As has been said many times all boats are a set of compromises. Super excited for some build videos to bring the process full circle. Most importantly wish you well with your baby delivery and recovery! Let the mayhem begin!

Wow! Not what I was expecting for a young, growing family. I like the idea of returning to a mono hull. Not much deck space for trimming sails. How will it handle in rough seas?

Well kids, you have done it. You exceeded all expectations. And of course, the first thing Riley is going to do after splash is go for a new water speed record in a sailing vessel!! Safety first ... BS ... How fast will this sucker go mate?!!

your new boat is about the same width as the length of your first boat

So I have epic questions! Elayna, your seasickness has been worse since you were pregnant with Lenny — are you worried about that at all going back to this design? I know it’s more stable than a monohull but definitely more rocky than a cat. Also, how do you babyproof this? My mom brain is like AHHHH! Lol!

I have been a long time viewer and now a Patron because of your wife and my curiosity about the new boat.

PS, we are all willing you an easy calm and happy birth of Clemfandango! Elay, you've GOT THIS and with Riley at your side, family nearby, friends across the street, and all the great care available to you in Australia, all will be well. Can't wait to meet your new little boy. xoxoxo

Wow! I don’t sail, but love learning from your channel & this video gave me chills. I can’t wait to see the new baby ( actual ) and boat. I can only think about the amazing humans Lenny & the new baby will be for the incredible lifestyle, people & places they will experience. Congratulations!

Well ... you have my sharpened attention. Glad to see you back home for the birth, and hope all goes well with the new yacht 'baby' too.

Brilliant, luv Riley.s enthusiasm when his talking about the yacht……..so, so happy for you guys

This is so exciting! I cant imagine how you guys feel! Excited to see more content!

Pretty bloody cool. Well done legends. Stoked to be witnessing this journey. It's a big week for you guys in many ways, all the best to you for the new picaninny.

As usual, this video was great AND hilarious! Riles, you are too funny...we are all awaiting the next year or so for the fun of the boat build and your time in Vietnam. Also, can't wait for the news on the baby boy due anytime!

Lmao... Riley breaks the spoon while playing the pots, watches it fly off, and doesn't stop for a second... amazing! Congrats and excited to see the new boat and the building process!

Congratulations. Warp speed Lenny !!!

Congrats so exciting to see you on the new boat.

Awesome stuff. Good job guys and congratulations. Looking forward to the boat build videos and excited to see what this next adventure has in-store for you guys.

SO EXCITING AND IN 4 DAYS THEY’LL ALL KNOW!!!!!

I so enjoy all the videos you send out. I feel like you are far away relatives. I’m very excited about the new baby due so soon now! The fact that you are home for a while gives me comfort. You need family around you as your life is filled with so many changes. It’s exciting that you are going to have so much input on interior design. Sending much love to you!

So excited to see the on land videos as well as the new boat...and of course, the new babe!! Sorry if I missed you saying, but did Rapido give you an estimated build time frame?

Riley on the cooking pots!!!!💙💚💛🧡❤️💜🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Congrats! Just watch out that you don’t outrun the speed of the drone when it’s flying. ;)

So so happy for you guys. What a beautiful Tri. Keep smashing it. You can never have too much maran. Looking forward to the new videos of all that interior love. ✌🏼

Congratulations you guys! Very excited for the both of you, one thing I will say after hearing Riley's plans for the interior (obviously subject to change) is dont sacrifice creature comforts if you have to, cause at the end of the day it's going to be your home. Still super sick!

Woohoo, I'm in this video at 6:50. Sailing on my Farr 1020, Penury.

Oh my gosh! It’s 5:30 in the morning here in Michigan and I’m so excited to watch the video I’m going to watch while I exercise before work! You two make your videos so exciting. It’s been wonderful during these long boring pandemic months to have something to look forward to each week! Thank you!

Awesome sauce! It's super exciting to hear about the new boat. Also love the fact you got to get back down under for the delivery of your wee little new crew member. I miss Australia soo much too! Looking forward to the new adventures of SLVIII and Fam!. Woop Woop!

Congratulations guy's looks great . looking forward to all the videos of the build and the linen choice ha

District 9. Good boat name.

Cool boat. And comes with training wheels.

So excited

Awesome video! Would love to see an entire video sometime about the all of the various safety features you guys are planning for the new build. Stay safe.

Does the unpainted black carbon interior attract heat? I'd imagine it's going to be bloody humid in the Pacific.

Hard core boat building videos! I am REALLY looking forward. Don‘t be afraid of too many details. Give much space/time for your thought processes and the resulting implementation. I am certain that this will make us even more engaged and feel part of the journey during the sailing videos in the years that follow.

I’m so happy for y’all! Can’t wait to see you guys in the new boat! 🥰

I’m so excited for you guys!!! I can’t believe I’ve been keeping up with your journey for 3 boats now! You’re making me feel old and I’m only 22! 😂 💜

You didn’t explain why this had to be a secret instead of exposing the decision making process from the beginning. Seems like all the discussions along the way would be interesting.

WHY did you haveta be so hush-hush about all this???

This is gonna be epic. Keen as a bean 🕺🏼

Most impressive is how you actually secured a boat loan with all those bangs happening! Looks like it will be great fun to sail! Also, looks like you have a Cattle Dog there. I need to see him a little better! (I'm 5HeelerMom in IG.) You have all my positive thoughts for a safe and speedy delivery, E! ☮️🚐🐶❤️

Congratulations guys 😍

I’m so excited to follow along and cannot wait to see the boat build!! And wow Riley! I knew you were talented, but I didn’t know you were THAT talented! Sailor, videographer, drummer, AND a violinist??? Elayna sure is lucky!! 🤣 Congrats you guys :)

Seriously cool 🙌💙🍾🍾

Don't know if I'm more excited about the boat or you guys living in VietNam for a few months. Thats going to be amazing. HCMC is an intense place. Hold on to your horses. And the process of fit out might be super interesting in that context. So much amazing artisanship in the textile world.

I am sooo excited too! Best wishes to you all … have an amazing time guys 🍀

Congrats…

Thanks for all the comments guys. Glad that you enjoyed the vid. It’s been a wild ride and good to share. 😊 Riley.

I'm more excited that you're home in Australia then the boat! Welcome home xxx

Mums the word! So many adventures ahead! Wishing you a smooth transition for both the new little guy and the tri! Sending good vibes your way!

Incredible!

Loved the self made music addition to the Rapido video! Your excitement is contagious. So happy for you!! And for us as we watch your adventures continue!

Congrats friends. Can't wait to hear more about the new Tri. Riley's pure excitement and dedication to researching your new home has me ecstatic to say the least. I'm gonna enjoy the vlogs where we get to see the boat come together. Much love.

*cough* the Dragonfly 1200 is a very good cruising trimaran (unfortunately no longer in production!)

Such an exciting journey can’t wait to see future sailing videos. Cute Lenny 🥰🥰🥳

Dang drummer boy, you can really strum those pots to the beat. A testimonial of watching that video over and over again! 😂 I like the thought of raw material look, less paint on the interior, but the hull I hope is wild an awesome paint scheme and hopefully NOT like the video! It’s a beauty no matter what though! Congratulations to all of you, well deserved. 👍

The instrumental prowess of Riley had me dieing, lmao!! So stoked for you guys. Thanks for being completely awesome humans.

Fantastic stuff, lots of good ideas from experience. Enjoy the journey.

Now this *will* be a fascinating shift. Well done.

Fun video!!!! Should be lots of fun to watch your adventures

🥳🥳🥳🥳

Ya gunna stick out like dog balls with that! Especially in oz. very nice though 👍🇦🇺

Amazing video! wonderful violin and drumming, Riley. Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us. On the live stream you said it was going to be the rapido 60, and on here you said the 50 or 60. So it sounds like you guys were able to get the sponsors you needed to get the bigger one?

LMAO ! AWESOME. Great video. Well done guys.

Whoo hoo love it! So in bad weather you can’t operate anything from the saloon? It looks pretty open. Beautiful boat :)

Excellent guys the extra oomph in the dramatic soundtrack really kicked it into gear for me! Xx

Congratulations you two ❤️ Riley that was a true musical masterpiece. The boats not bad either 🤘 sending you peace and strength in labor elayna. Lots of love to all of you. Thanks for all you do.

That thing looks bonkers.

So excited!!

YOOO, such an exciting time for you guys!!! Absolutely stoked for you

Another video!? Isn’t it just a few more days until the birth?? You two are working hard, can’t wait to watch the new video!

Yeww excited to watch this!

Woohoo! So excited to watch this!
