BOAT BUILD: Interior work Begins!
Last week Riles and I finally got to share our first glimpses of our new trimaran with you all! This week, join us at Rapido's HQ as we're put to work helping finish her up!
From sanding to painting, to sorting out the layout of our helm and interior decor, this is one jam packed week of work!
As always, a massive thank you for your support. We hope you enjoy this early preview of our next episode... do let us know how you think she's shaping up!
Love,
Elay, Riles, Lenny & Darwin xx

With the sanding dust, paint spray and chemical fumes, I think you should invest in some proper respirators! I see that the workers are in masks, but not safety respirators. You want to protect your health, not just now but for the long term. Recently, a famous house flipper in the US was diagnosed with serious health issues due to exposures on the job. Take good care of yourselves!
This is SO fun! Thanks for taking us on a tour of the style of things. SO EXCITED FOR YALL!
Wonderful episode - how fun to be a part of the build. Love how the interior is going to look I especially like the idea of the vintage map on the nav station
Would love to see how the kids sleeping arrangements are going to work out.
I loved watching this! So fun to see everything come together! You will have a luxury hotel on floats! Hey— something is driving me batty as a woman! There is one shot that shows you with blonde hair! Did you dye it or was that just the light?! I ask because I went back and yes… it was red. I went forward in the vid and it was red! I know you put the videos together like a puzzle, but?// WTH? It is beautiful blonde or red, but it just wouldn’t leave my brain!
Do patron members really get a preview???!! YOUTUBE shows 218k views in the last 18hrs. Then I noticed a link on Instagram not long ago... We have loved watching you guys now for the better part of 6 years and Patron for last year plus. BUT now it feels like Patreon is not as exclusive as we are led to believe...
Sorry if this comes off as rude, and don't get me wrong, we pay you all per vid b/c of the stellar video content we admire, not only bc of the "exclusive" early content
The only thing you need to be successful at parenting plants is grow lights. Friggin' grow lights are where it's at.
How fun!! To be in Asia, have a cool nanny and have a world of fun things to do. Happy New Year!
After I watch the videos here I go to YouTube and thumb up and watch them again but walk away.
Great episode and love the inside look at how the boat is coming together! I currently work for EarthRoamer (see Kara and Nate’s episode from a year ago) in Colorado and we build luxury off-road 4x4 RV’s and some of the the composite layup technology is the same as our camper shell manufacturing technology. Interesting to see how other companies do it!
So exciting watching this beauty come together. Where are the boys sleeping?
Is it possible to watch the ad free version on YouTube once it’s available to the public.I ask bc I want to link to my tv and can’t seem to do that from the Patreon version.
So exciting! It’s going to be so sleek and gorgeous!!! How cool that it’s going to be totally customized for you guys! Where will the boys stay?
I know Riley likes designing the helm, and Alayna loves decorating, but sanding and painting even for your own boat, it's just plain hard work!
Please do not spend too much time sucking in those paint fumes. Burning eyes and dizziness is why Respirators should be worn and not just masks.
What is up with the pink in the master bath?! In the US in the 70’s that color of pink was popular in bathrooms. I do not think you will like it very long. Hopefully it is just paint or wallpaper so you can change it.
The pink tiles in the master bath are giving me 70's playboy mansion vibes
Super super excited!!
Pathos hearty and easy to care for plants nice green and Elena can’t kill them🤪
Getting hands-0n knowledge of how your boat/home is built is a significant safety factor - as to the interior design, to each his own - I'm sure you have considered this, but, as you select materials for decor, etc., you will want to keep in mind their resistivity to maritime (salty) environment and the availability of spare parts - this being said, I'm in awe of your dedication to put in the work to participate in the painting and finishing - physical labor in a tropical/dusty environment must be exhausting - advise from uncle Pierre: do not exhaust yourself . . . OK, I know you are both athletes, but this is an industrial environment, different then what you are accustomed to. How are the boys doing?
The interior design looks so cool & interesting!! I can't wait to see it all come together.
How do you keep pots from sliding off the induction stovetop? And are the kids in the guest cabin?
Look great! But where will the kid’s room be?
Wow SLV III looks like it's going to be a dream. 😊⛵
How exciting.. Consider wider handles on the cabinets
It’s great you get the chance to be very hands on with the build of the boat. Completely different than 95% of boat builds and hopefully will make you feel that much more connected to it. Was this always the plan or were you presented with this as an option and just ran with it?
Love the video!!! I'd love to have a live update with a Q&A lots of fun updates I'm sure.
Now the big question are you both helping or hindering the completion? Truthfully, they are probably very good at what they do and are being amazingly patient to let you both into their world. Will be very interesting to watch the faces of staff there as this adventure progresses?
More Rápido, Yay! Thanks you two and Riley you were HILARIOUS in the comments of the butt cheek “rebuttal” IG post!
Excited!
