This is our NEW TRIMARAN!
Finally, it's time to check out La Vagabonde III!
After arriving in Vietnam last week, we're stoked to be joining the Rapido team at the factory this week and checking out all aspects of our trimaran build!
We couldn't have dreamed of doing this without the support of you all! Let us know your thoughts on our soon to be floating home below...
We hope you all enjoy this early preview!
Love,
Riley & Elay, Lenny & Darwin

Wow! That is humongous! The next 3 months will be a lot of fun and hard work. Enjoy!
You won’t regret your choice of OC tender. Amazing tenders
I'd register in Switzerland ;)
Would love a live chat if you can get one in. Would also love to get those little gifts you say come with patreon membership. I've been a patron for years and yet have never gotten them.
You have the option of selecting if you want to receive the gifts or not when you signed up. You may have picked the wrong option. Many years ago when I signed up I vaguely remember receiving an email asking where to send it to. I declined at the time. I recently increased my patronage to a higher level and didn't hear back from anyone. Maybe just a timing issue.
Welcome to Southeast Asia and hello from the Philippines 🥰 New boat is looking epic! So excited for you guys to start sailing again.
Another patron asked about the live video chats for patrons. They’re supposed to be monthly but seem to be on hold. Maybe this has to do with the secret Riley alluded to but it would be nice if we could know when the next one will be. Maybe they’ll start up again once the boat is launched?
Look at insurance and taxes for the registration
I loved this video, the more details you can put in about the boat would be great.
Happy 2023! guys, following you for years, I’m so looking forward to your sharing this adventure 2023 has to offer. Take Care ❤️
Looks amazing! Just curious how you reckon a carbon fiber Hull will manage a lightning strike. Touch wood it never happens but with nearly a 28m mast I figure it's good to think about. Before you guys fit out with all the cabinets etc might it be worth having a metal mesh lined cabinet for some of your electrics or will you do the ol' oven trick as a Faraday cage?
Yea kind of looks like Riley….. fun video
seems Riley volunteered as singer for a german MetalCore band ;-) https://youtu.be/75Mw8r5gW8E
I am curious as to how this vessel will be in docking. Especially in currents or wind. Correct me if I am wrong but it is a single screw, right??
What would the difference in performance be if the 2 outer hulls were filled with storage items vs empty?
Poland has some of the best registration policies around.
Look into the Cayman Islands both for taxation and maritime law. Best of luck Cheers!
i got all choked up at how excited you both got when exploring the new vessel! congrats you guys... x
Register in Australia. Give credit where credit is due. They created u. And I'm so grateful they did!!
I am so excited for your family! What an epic adventure. Register it in Australia! I love Australia. I’m a Californian by the way. I can’t wait until the boat is done and I get to see you sailing in Australia for a change. I’m also looking forward to all the sailing that you’ll do in Asia. I cannot wait for this boat to be done.
Register in the Cayman Islands, eh Riley.
Can't wait to see this beast hittin sail 😍 so happy for you guys looks amazing
Finally! It is massively huge! Just a thought, you being "citizens of the world" who have sailed the Arctic. There's a whole continent at the other end of the globe , that is not owned by any one nation. I wonder if there are boats or ships registered in Antarctica? Second choice would be where you plan to call home, Bali.
That boat is crazy!
Simply beautiful ! And of course massive and huge too !
Wow! I can’t watch it yet because my partner is really into this. For some reason we didn’t get the video announcement this week!
Very nicely done.
Absolutely fascinating! It’s massive AND huge! Larger closet, Elayna! Register in the US!
I know you guys are very in tune with safety for the boys. Where will their cabins be? Will you also have crew quarters?
I don’t know if Bali has boat registrations but if so, I would consider Bali, as it is your home port choice! Go for the larger closet, Elayna. I hope that somewhere in or on the boat, a forest green can be used. It brings good luck and peace, plus it looks good. Just thoughts and my suggestions. Love the video, Thanks for sharing.
Phenomenal... how exciting guys.
Steff Says register with Germany! The boat is HUGE! Looking great, we can't wait to see when the couches go in! :)
Register in Portugal!!
YouTube needs an age conformation from me too, with a creditcard or passport copy. I don’t really want to do that. Is it just a problem of european viewers, or for those who haven’t given YouTube their payment details? It has never happened befor with any of your other videos for at least 4 years…
I simply logged in with my google account and that solved the problem
You should definitely have the biggest wardrobe Elayna haha cause I bet you have more dresses than Riley has suits right. So with the boat registration, is it safer to do it in some countries more than others, like certain passports are generally more accepted than others.
Any other having probs playing the vid?
Says age restricted for me and won't play!
I get Youtube's (sometimes) weird policies , but why is there an age restriction within Patreon? It tells me that there is an age restriction and that the video can only be viewed on Youtube ... :-( I don't understand.
Amazing boat. You tube age restriction is weird, but reading their rules, they might have considered having the kids onboard the boat to be endangering children, and the final scene in the apartment as parental violence towards kids…..we live in a weird weird world…
So exciting to finally see the new La Vaga III Trimaran. And I would register the boat in the Bahamas.
Register the boat in Viet Nam
But my wife and I loved the video! Nice to finally see the boat! Looking forward to seeing the build progress. As far as registration goes, find the most economically feasible Country. Or Bali, since it looks like you are going to make that your home base👍
This is the very first time I've seen a video of yours age restricted. There is no reason for it to have this placed on it. I wish I knew the email address to complain to YouTube about their inappropriate labeling. I know this is happening more and more to sailing videos. PS< I just found the feedback contact info and wrote them a letter with my "feedback". Hope it helps.
It will be interesting to see the boys adapt to the new location for the nets (tramps)🦘🐇🤙🏽
This is amazing!!! Am i right that you have to walk outside to get to the boys cabin? What about stormy weather? When you'd close the door, doesn't their cabin have a separate door/hatch?
This is so exciting! Thank you for bringing us along on this journey with you
I think you should register your vessel under the new country / flag of Liberland for all that it represents. (This is said with a half joke but their values and ideas are pretty cool if everything goes through…)
THANK YOU for finally showing us the boat
Well earned! Seven years of sailing and captivating us . . . You have worked so hard This is a naval engineering marvel! I wonder how many parts it will take to complete this vessel. How about a contest? Whoever gets the closest to the right number will be invited to sail on La Vagabonde III for a few days - what kind of sails are you getting? What's the estimated time to completion? I share your excitement! No idea where you should register her . . . I guess you will need to find out what options are available and what are the requirements/consequences/financial . . . take care!
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊⛵🥂
Register the homeland 🇦🇺 🇦🇺
Sweden! I’m half Swedish even if I have never been for registration. Cayman is a popular one for easy and taxes etc,
I vote for registering the boat in Australia since that’s where you are both from. So exciting to see the boat finally. I’m looking forward to seeing videos of Vietnam too as I know little about it. So excited for you all.
I agree!
Woooow so pretty 😍
WOW! The boat looks GREAT! As far as registering, from what I remember from my days in the Navy is there are pros and cons that you can weigh like taxes and ease of entry into different ports. If I recall correctly, The Marshall Islands, The Cayman Islands, Delaware, USA, and the Seychelles were all popular choices. Good luck in making your decision!
Thanks for the early access guys … WOW the new boat looks MASSIVE 👍 I know very little about boats and sailing, but you’ve taught me whatever I do know … can’t wait to see it hit the water and watch all your new adventures aboard. I reckon you should register the boat in Australia of course … we Aussies are known for being laid back, friendly and welcoming so you need to fly that flag 🇳🇿👍❤️ Just my humble opinion … there’s probably sensible reasons for registering other countries but I’m dinky di and true blue xxxx
Congrats! I'm mostly interested in the 6 month review, can't wait to see if the change in space was worthwhile.
It is friggin' HUSSIVE! It is like a village on its own! I hope it is everything that you have dreamed of!! Oh My!! I can't imagine docking this . . . what?!?!? Eloise
SO EXCITING!!!!!
