Viewing our NEW TRIMARAN!

Can't wait to see your new boat ✨

Late in the comment game: White for the kitchen/galley makes it lighter, sunnier. Also you already got wood/copper/leather/carbon as colors, reducing the fronts to white would give more focus on the other interesting colors and materials

The white looks amazing!! It seemed to really open up the space as well. I can’t wait to see your new boat!

At University I lived in a dorm room with the original 60+ years old cork flooring. By far the most practical I've ever had! Nothing really breaks it dropped, but the most important was spilling things didn't matter at all. Very nice for both student parties and small kids :)

Must have been a trick had to join to comment:-) You are building the sexest cruiser/racer ever designed and the first shot of the proposed stove top looks like it should be in a victorian house^^ Dude your entering into a tricky season, yes your bride ( she is super kwel by the way ) will be bossy. Do a brushed clorized alumium with ebony ( not real ebony ) trim! ditch the brass handles and do resets finger pulls. Colorized alumim will so complement the carbon fiber...But what do I know sitting on my Voyage in Vuda with the Figaboat pulled apart! Love you guys

Much prefer the blue for the cupboards. There's already so much brightness outside that the blue will be easier on the eyes, as well as not showing as much dirt. Plus, the slate blue is a relaxing color.

I second the comment about copper - unless it has some sort special treatment, it will turn green and not really in a nice way. Something to consider when choosing surrounding finishing colours.

For the wood bench, have you already looked at natural repellent woods? Cedar for example is naturally termite repellent and deodorizing. Not sure how well it would hold up to salty air though. Just curious about that.

Can’t wait to see the real thing!

The dogs on the beach? Those were my friends doggies, Kalik and Tilloo. Sweet sister potcakes. Came soooo close to meeting you guys last week in Hope Town. Mike invited me down for coffee when you guys were coming over with the kids but I had to decline as we had been invited out on our friends boat for the day.

I think colors is more down to your personal preference. I do wonder how well the green copper (it will turn green) will react to other materials when on board and if that is a practical choice. Similar with the old leather coach. but you guys are of course veterans in living onboard in the tropics. On another note - did you ever air the episode when you went sailing the Rapido in NZ? I’ve seen highlights but can’t recall the episode?

I kinda like the pace with how all this is coming together. Maybe it’s a godsend that the Pandemic has slowed things up a bit allowing more room for thought. And the decision to NOT sell Vagabonde 2 has now evolved with Jack’s new charter business, I’m loving that, and dreaming of coming aboard one day! Thanks for the updates along the way, it’s all so very interesting and exciting. 😊

Can’t wait to see it. And let us know if you need anything while I’m Annapolis! We are close by to help!

white cabinets AND the possible speed you can make with the trimaran is crazy cool!! Riley's face showed the excitement haha

Definitely blue and not white for the kitchen.

amas are the ocean version of swags, aka the best sleeping arrangement ever devised. would 100% sleep in the ama as long as it had good ventilation (more than 1 opening) and mozzie nets

White cabinets for sure!

We are one year into enjoying a leather sofa and chair done in a sort of leather that gets better and better with age. When the distressed marks get too much for us after our 6 or 7 year old or the cat mark them up, we just rub with a thumb and the wax heats enough to wipe the marks out. If it needs a bit more than that or cracks get looking dry we melted some of our honey bees wax, carnauba wax, castor oil and cocoa butter into a treatment that rubs in nicely to restore the leather back to what we like, a slightly distressed leather that hasn't been coated with some kind of plastic paint that peels with age. It has the imperfections of the hide it came from and in a similar line of thinking to having no headliner covering things inside the trimaran, leathers like this most closely approximate what I imagine might have been in the finer quarters of ships of the past. Finding that in a used couch will be a project but you never know. Some images and story on the tannery in Italy follow at this link https://www.letstalkfurniture.com/the-coveted-brompton-leather-sofa/

At first I thought (true) blue cabinets might look really nice, too. As allready mentioned a few times: combined with the carbon your home can appear a bit dark, depending of what you want of course. You allready have some stylish elements like the leather seats, copper sink etc.. So maybe less is more: personally I would go for a lighter grey or a light olive-green, which looks great in combination with wood, too. And of course consider this: less heavy colour pigments, less weight ;-)

Well my suggesting is the “blue” looks great but is a bit overwhelming but under the seating and cabinet frame with whiteish doors might lighten up a bit, and they can be painted later after the kids and guest bang them up in a year or three, and there are less sticky hands mucking about; my thoughts your decision

Definitely white cabinets! And avoid the black where ever you can :)

Can’t wait to see it all come together!

Really interesting and it all looks fabulous. Slight concern about leather material on a hot day! Thinking about sitting in a car that’s been parked in the sun. Can be v. hot. Maybe with the shaded saloon though, it’s no big deal?

Since you'll have a lot light, I think the dark colors with blue, copper and leather will look very well. I'm not sure if I would like the blue cabinets for 30 years thought. And waiting in swiss alps with 10°C outside temperature, waiting for the rain shower to pass by, I would love more then ever to spent some days in blue water trying out how compfotable one of your ama is ;-).

Glad one of my questions made it in. I hope you guys can put the uncut version here for os to nerd out more.

I love the blue cabinets 😍 looking so good you guys!!! can’t wait to see it come together

Looks good. I think you're on target with the colors and pre-worn leather. When looking "through" the boat, the lower blue cabinets seemed to mirror ocean color, if I'm making sense. We have five working breed dogs, so our new house will definitely not have white cabinets! I also bought a pre-worn leather couch. I would strip it apart and send you the leather, but we aren't quite done with it yet! That did give me a great idea to recycle this leather, though, when we do finally build our new house. Stay safe, all! ☮️🚐🐶❤️

So stoked for you guys this is awesome!

Im VERY excited to watch what life will be like on the new boat. Especially around stability - I’m hoping for no spilled boiling pots of water like in the mono.

THIS.IS.SOOOO.EXCITING. A LOT of work to be sure, but SO FUN. <3

I am curious to know how will be the safety features for the boys.

Love the galley, add the white too and the colors remind me of Greece. Smart designs all around, y’all will be SO fast! Only thing is I think Mark is right about the black absorbing the heat….good for frying some fish.

Also love the blue and copper!! You’re right…you will be CONSTANTLY cleaning the white cabinets

Do you guys plan on “baby-proofing” the new boat like you did w/ SLV2??

Blueee cabinets! Everyone does white.

Great vid thanks for sharing and you’ve chosen well.

I’ve got a fresh water expansion tank in my camper , 20Litres so when you need water there’s water pressure available, pump comes on when the tanks drops to 1L… we usually keep the pump off until we need to fill the tank or when we have power. No more urrrrrrrrrrrr every time you turn the tap on!

AIR CONDITIONING?????...NEED..

go white!

Haha just read Shelly's post - didn't mean copy the "How exciting!" phrase, but it really is exciting

How exciting! I would definitely sleep in the Amas, that would be awesome! The blue looks good, but the white would be my preference, but I'm not the one living on it ;-)

How exciting! I have black cabinets. They show more than white! But could be the glossiness? Also shows dust very well. White might be better. Either way, with kids, they will get worn and dirty! Will bamboo flooring hold up on a boat? I know when we considered it for our house, it wasn’t recommended for bathrooms because of the water. You are all about water! We had leather seating on our boat. It was great, but didn’t see much sun on our monohull - yours sees more sun. Will it be too hot and/or crack really quickly? But super easy to clean! I guess we have leather seats in cars too, so maybe fine. Getting closer has to be so invigorating! You guys are so much fun!❤️

So is this boat using electric motors or diesel? I thought you said earlier it's fully electric but during the discussion they showed a diesel motor.

I'd be careful with copper. Will it handle the salty environment and not go green and stain things? I prefer the white. I'm a designer and I tend to gravitate to less is more. If you want to showcase the carbon fiber backdrop and copper accents I'd go with a clean white pallet to do so. The simpler it is the more the textures will shine forward. But in the end, it's all what inspires you so have fun!

The blue with copper looks so slick! Definitely prefer that over the white, gives a lot more character too! Crew beds in the amas! Brilliant! I’m sure, I’d definitely be keen to have a snooze down there someday 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks for this episode guys, definitely gets the hype way up there for the new trimaran! I can only imagine how excited you guys are!

Annapolis ?!? .. Pop tarts and Chicken and Waffles at the Iron Rooster on me !!

You guys should get Tony to try out the Amas as sleeping quarters. I would love that episode. I miss Tony on board but can see him in Riley's face.

I felt claustrophobic just looking at the Amas as sleeping quarters, haha. So excited to see your finished trimaran!

Love the blue and copper/brass combo. Chefs kiss 🤌

White for cupboards. Otherwise to dark, considering the carbon fiber will not be reflecting light from above. Blues will feel awesome in full sun but be drab in lower light conditions/night. Grab some blue carpet runners if blue is a favorite color. :)

I wonder how much drool they you guys had to remove from Riley's mouth when Marc talked about sustainable speeds on an atlantic crossing .... you can literally see him bursting of excitement :-) love it. :-)

White ... definitely white ... it's the most neutral color (well, technically it's not a color ... it's all colors ;-) that can be augmented with other colors. With blue you are stuck with only certain combinations. Plus, blue makes the interior really dark. And even the kids won't be able to stain a white countertop that is made of marine ready material. But hey ... it's your boat and you have to live in it. ;-)

I think you guys are doing a great job with the design. Thanks for another great video.

Definitely the blue, copper & wood! Very classy & functional. Super exciting! Great teamwork!

Has the build begun? It would be awesome to see photos. As for sleeping in the side things - can’t remember what you called them- I would be up for trying it a few nights but not long term.

Don’t go white. White will get dirty.

Hey guys- genuinely looking to replace my old, well loved leather couch at the moment. It’s a sentimental family piece to my partner, would love to see it in caring hands. Reach out if you want more info !!!!

I'm really digging the blue and copper. Sure white makes things look bigger, but that's not what this is about. Functional, comfortable, and ease of maintaining and cleaning along with being easy on the eye. Can't wait to sign up for a charter on Vagabonde Adventures.

It was particularly hard to hear this video. I had the volume setting to max on my PC but even with the tab on your video set to max it was hard to hear. Whatever you can do to augment the sound would be most appreciated. I like the "one big cabin" aspect of your salon on the new boat - very safe for little ones.

Love the design and interiors - would definitely go with the blue cabinets, with the thought that you may adapt it (paint) in years ahead for a fresher look then. Also, the copper will darken over time - will that make a difference in overall look? Just some thoughts...

Blue definitely, Man the thought of 15 k sustained is amazing

Question yourself " am I still going to like the blue 10 years from now"? U can always add splash of color with accent pieces. I do love the blue tho!! Just a thought. But then again u can always paint the blue if you no longer like it 10 years later. It's very trendy colors. I love it!!

Real copper? Copper and salt air. How will that go? I imagine there will be a more rapido (ahem) oxidisation/corrosion. So you'll get oxidised green copper aka Statue of Liberty. I have a (very rich) friend with a coastal home on the Mornington Peninsula who put a copper roof on her house. Now lovely green.

Love the blue kitchen! Can't wait to see it!!

Can't wait to see it! With two young boys definitely go with blue. 😊⛵

You all must be so excited. I love the blue. I am so glad the boys will be in main cabin for sleep. It seems much safer than them being in the aft cabin. I was hoping the the amas' could be used for additional accommodations. It is much larger than I imagined. Beautiful vessel! Great music by the way.

I kinda like the white kitchen more, for the reason you said, it will feel more spacious. Not on an estethic point of view, but practical: why leather couches? won't you stick to the leather constantly in hot tropical weather and won't that take away all the comfort? Love the boat btw! can't wait to see it :) Happy you guys can build your dreamboat

Definitely blue for the kitchen (oops! galley). The crew quarters would be too claustrophobic for many, especially without a lot of ventilation or viewing windows.

I was hoping you would put cabins in the amas. The boys would love having there own space when they get older. Real bunks with foam, a fold up desk, and a storage cabinet forward. The forward cabin in the main hull could a much taller storage cabinet on the starboard side for clothes. I would be careful using any colors on the outside that are very dark, they will just make the interior hotter.

The blue with the copper will look awesome! It's all coming together nicely. I had to crack up with the kids running and jumping in the background during the first part of the video LOL!

Love the blue kitchen only comment will it darken the space too much though.

Looks incredible . . . but . . . I'm questioning the choice of a copper sink + retro faucet . . . . wondering what metal transformations will occur in the presence of a marine environment. Visually, will it not clash with the sleek designs that will be prevalent throughout LVG III? Just a small detail. Can't wait to watch you cross the Atlantic in 15-20 days!

Love the blue kitchen!

looks like it will be a good boat. i would go with the blue over the white as Elay pointed out it should be easier to keep clean not just from the kids but from other things that could happen. Love the thought of dark woods with copper i recon it will look great. i would be more then happy to give sleeping in the amas a try. question as you are turning then into cabins where is the storage space for things like your fenders, sails and larger spares and things?

I would go the blue kitchen 😀

The interior render looks siiiick. So excited for you guys to finally come to Southeast Asia ❤️

I loved the blue on the kitchen cupboards, less stark & will match in with the old leather & timber colours. Wow, it’s all getting close .. can’t wait to see the final product 👏🏻👏🏻❤️

So excited for you all!! Looks amazing, I also love that Blue Interior Elayna. Great work guys, can’t wait to see the final product.

Love it!! Love the brief, love the colour concepts and theme of the interior. Well done guys 👏👏
