BOAT BUILD: Our Electric Propulsion

You can't possibly be the only Rapido customer that will want these design modifications. I hope you are charging them for thinking of these end user mods that are truly needed and designing them as you go. Rapido should be grateful to have a consultant like Riley on hand. LOL.

Hi Riley, when you are motoring and the go into neutral does the re-gen automatically kick in, like in electric cars, slowing you down or is it a completely different system which has to switch to. Also is it known how much it will slow the boat down when the re-gen is in operation under sail.

I'm watching the Wynn's review of the trimaran that they just sailed and I was wondering what your opinion was of their review.

Lookin' like Ron Jeremey headshot here.

Hooray for Darwin! And Elayna, such a beautiful song and such a beautiful voice you have. Loved it!

Wow the Trimaran looks EPIC tHANKS Beautiful people! Glad the babies are well of course they are! Once i heard a story of a baby that had a very bad condition of parasites no one could fix..... the indigenous woman gave the babe papaya seeds. there is an extract here in the states I use if i feel a bit "weird " I'M SURE you all eat probiotic yogurt? also how do you plan to sublet that house. in Bali..hint hint !!

This is the video which brought me back to the family. The boys are getting big. The new boat looks awesome. I am looking forward to seeing how well the electrics work.

Brilliant episode. So glad to hear Darwin recovered, and love the plants !! Riley - i have a degree in electronics- my concern is the electrical cabling when you have to outrun a cyclone and motor sail into a headwind for 48 hours straight. In these conditions the electrical cables will be running hot. I would consider oversizing the cables to handle double the current, and carry spares.

Was watching Sailing Parlay, Would love to hear about the Rapido and if there any more considerations for lightning strikes or what is being done to try and protect the equipment in the event one does occur.

Does Oceanvolt have a bunch of former Tesla techs? Almost everything they’re capable of doing is identical to how our Teslas run, update, operate, etc. I can’t wait to get these on our boat build.

The video quality, editing, etc get more impressive each episode!

I was so so happy to hear Elena's background music again. Missed it! Thank you ✨💗🧚‍♀️

Great show!

What an exciting, frightening, enlightening episode! You are such strong, resourceful and intelligent people, besides being so personable and beautiful. Loving getting to know more about Darwin. Keep up the impressive work you are doing as parents and partners.

The plants are a wonderful addition! Energy wise plus they help clean the air and look amazing too! Good call Elay! Glad Darwin is better! Love the electric system you have created on the new boat. It will be so wonderful to use less diesel with less pollution and maintenance as well. Good call! Love you guys!

Hey so good. Sorry you were stranded Riley but I know you made the best of it! Elay, the large plant you have outside, I think it lives underneath larger trees in the wild so watch it carefully to see if it’s getting too much sun or is getting burned.

Not sure I recall Elay sing before! Soiunding awesome!!

I am interested to know if Oceanvolt made a manual setting for the prop angle settings during generation? Saw a great video of the Elcano issues(and talked to Jimmy C) about the impact of following seas and the ability of the system to generate power in the largest number of conditions. (I.e. the system seemed to be stuck trying to ‘hone’ constantly as I suspect the real world parameters were different than the program could handle.)

Slick system can wait to see your power generating sails!

Power 24/7 for that is brilliant. Just the time at anchor/alongside is still a bit of a mystery powerwise. Where will you fit a diesel? Ahead or behind the Regen prop?

Hey Riley and Eleyna. Really great to hear from you again. Also great that the kids are well again. If I understand correctly the penalty for the Regen while sailing is less than 5% most of the time. To be able to supply

Great episode, you guys! Love the new dynamic, really cool stuff! So pumped for your progress, with the boat, life, just everything! So much fun to watch. Love ya! And keep them coming. You're doing great!

I would love a few of your books for my grandchildren let me know what I need to do to order those please. Love you guys

I would love a stroll though that plant shop. Can't wait for the launch and see the speeds Rapido gets. I bet Nikki would like a drive on this beast.

So good to see the crew (all 4 of you) back on track! From Reil's conversation with electric Dereck, I understand that you will be living "off the grid" . . . so special congrats on that subject! You guys have come such a long way from when I first met you, 7 (maybe 6 ) years ago . . . quite amazing! When is the launching estimated date? If I may add my humble opinion on a small detail . . . thank you . . . I would stay away from any pink color in the head(s) and go a soft "lime" - there is nothing pink in the oceans (I think) whoever supplies the paint should have Pantone samples to choose from. Cheers

‘Can you take me to a shop that has glue’ 😂

So happy the boys are better 😃

The boat is really coming along! So excited for you guys and what’s to come. And so glad to see Darwin is feeling better. Well done ripping the scoot, Elayna, I’d head straight to the nursery too. 🤣

Those green text bubbles are really tricky to read at the start guys, sorry just thought you should know. Darker green might help with the accessibility.

😊⛵ can't wait to see the new Vaga III in the water and underway. Looks cool.

Having your finger so close to rotating prop is not safe 🤣

That passport tear ! Made the border guy's day, I bet ! 🤣

Very cool propulsion! Are you able to tell ballpark figure costs for the oceanvolt components? Does the servoprop need service over time?
