BOAT TOUR: Trimaran + Future Sailing Plans
This week, Riley and I are taking some time away from our boat build in Vietnam & flying to Thailand, where we will be touring a 40ft Rapido Trimaran (Adamas).
We couldn’t be more excited to give you all a full run down of her interior and exterior + shed some light on your most commonly asked design related questions!
PS: stay tuned throughout this ep. as we’re going to reveal our future sailing plans... Singapore, Thailand, New Zealand or Patagonia anyone? Let us know your thoughts on where you think us Vagabonde’s should sail next!
We hope you enjoy this early (Ad Free) preview of this weeks episode. A massive thank you from us all for your support.
Love,
Elayna, Riley, Lenny & Darwin

That Tuktuk ride looked like so much fun!!
“Pants” an endearing reference, from the first season between them.
Pants?? Is that a throw back to movie jungle book? Good movie btw!
“A terrifying/excellent trip to the airport.” 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
You guys are bloody legends! Look forward to your future content!
I'd love to see the Marquesas and Tuamoto islands. I sailed from Hawaii to Society Islands many years ago and had intended to sail to more of the French Polynesia islands, but after spending 3 months in the Society Islands, I flew to New Zealand instead.
Beautiful boat can't wait to see yours! Quick unrelated Question. Did Lenny bash on of his front teeth?
i love the rapido ill take two! great job family!
Don’t forget the Pacific Northwest! Some amazing spots, whales and bears. Tree, rocks and water everywhere. Checkout Haida Gwaii archipelago too. It’s only a short trip up the coast 😝
Great video again! Elayna we loved how you were called out on your “boat guide voice.” You natural speaking style is much better! We still are interested in what safety features there will be on deck for the children. Seeing the “openness” would terrify us as parents with small children on board. Will you have added custom protection?
Master Head 🤣🤣🤣🤣😳 But seriously seeing the joy on your faces and the excitement in Riley’s voice and face was ace. Great vid and was grinning watching it. Can’t wait for next weeks and awesome job as per usual. 👍👍 oh and holly shit the Rapido looks amazing
The sailing plan looks epic! Something to add that might be awesome is Christmas Island (Indian Ocean) you could potentially sail there after Mentawai Islands. I grew up there as a kid and was there when David Attenborough did his documentary on the red crabs! It’s such an epic island in the shape of dog with a top hat! Then head back to Bali…. I’m not a sailor and not sure of the logistics but it would be a shame to get close-ish and see if it’s possible. Oh next door to Christmas Island is the Cocos Islands too… so maybe check it out.
Thanks Hayley, we'll keep this in mind for sure. 🙌🏽 I heard a lot about these islands growing up in WA, would be rad to actually sail there.
I'm looking forward to seeing you sail in Patagonia. I'm heading down there next month for a hiking trip. I'd love to see you guys explore it on the water.
Patagonia would be a dream. 💌😍 Have the best trip!!
So exciting!! Would you ever consider sailing around Australia ?
Thankyou for your reply, Can’t wait!!! Even I’ll have to keep a lookout 😍
I’m so excited for you! My vote is for Elayna to join Riley on the 20 day sail. It’s a once in a lifetime event. This was yet another riveting video. I really enjoy the way you put these together. I am in awe. Keep up the good work!
Amazing sailing plan . . . did I miss something? I don't remember Australia being mentioned.
The guest cabin and that boat is ridiculous. If I'm spending that much money for a boat I'm not crawling through a tunnel to get to a bed. I can't wait to see your beautiful trimaran finished
The 40 is an amazing boat. Looking forward to the new adventures. Do you have a time frame for when the 60 will hit the water?
Time frames are still super rough mate, hard to say. Doing our best to get back on the water as soon as possible within the realm of physical possibility and reality. 😂
I've been looking at the 50 but it's been just out of my grasp financially. Now seeing the 40 with you guys in it I think it would be perfect for a solo sailor. Riley will probably disagree but I think in average conditions the 40's going to be their fastest boat. Street food in Seoul! Okay I'll give it a rest. But it's only like that far on google maps.
I'd really love for you to show us some of the more remote and less visited islands of the Pacific. Maybe Norfolk Island on the way to New Zealand. Definitely need to make a stop in Pitcairn on the way to French Polynesia from the Easter Island. I'm guessing your track from NZ to Patagonia will be too far south to visit the Austral Islands but if you do end up that far north make a stop and check them out
I have so much to say! Your videos are a stress relief for me. I can actually relax when I watch them (thank you). Your boys are so beautiful. Good job mom and dada! Could you visit 'Norfolk Island'? It is off the coast of New Zealand, and absolutely paradise. I live in North Carolina (USA), and wanted to retire there. The immigration rules are pretty rigid, so I did not. I think it looks like paradise. Please video it if you go there. Thank you again for your great efforts in keeping us up on your new adventures!
Wow. What a dream. So seriously excited for you guys 🥲
Thank you for great episode. Please go to waters close to home of viewers, so for instance the Inside Passage, Nova Scotia, or the Baltic, not that I know where exactly all your viewers are. When we dream away it is easier to picture something that is achievable.
This is understandable! Always nice to see landscapes that are within reach of your place, for sure. I guess in a way we're always close to the home of viewers, since you guys are all across the globe.. 🤷🏽♀️ but we'd be open to visiting some of the corners closer to you, like Nova Scotia. 😍
Definitely Galapagos, Hawaii, Bikini Atoll, and Japan! Also the 40 is way too tiny for my liking, but the overall design and layout is amazing! The 60 will be epic! We’ve reconsidered our plan on the Silent 60 after Riley’s review. I think for the cost, it just isn’t what we need. So the new plan is a Neel 60. The space is what we’re needing, and if we can get it done with an Oceanvolt setup like you guys showed, then we’ll be happy and it will meet our need to be all electric. Thanks for that video BTW!
Wanted to order a copy of Elayna’s book but I live in the USA and shipping would be 25£ Uk! Do you have a U.S. distributor?
Hey Jill, yes we do! Please check Amazon US. I believe shipping is free. Just type in ‘The Little Sailor’s ABCs’ and you’ll find it ☺️ - Elayna
Japan. Sail Japan. Nuff said.
Awesome video! Exciting to see your plans.
HI guys, the 40 does seem to be a little small for a family of 5. We didn't even watch you sail in it. Looking forward to you guys moving on to your new boat and getting back to sailing the world.
Hey Richard, good to hear from you mate! Stay tuned - we will be sailing the 40 in our next ep! ⛵
So sick. Love the plan to cross to Chile. And you'll hit Pitcairn on the way to Tahiiti from Easter. So cool!
Have you all thought about sailing to Japan?
YES! It’s high on our list 😍 to be honest, I’m kind of scared of the earthquakes there… (not the thousands of NM it takes to sail there lol). Am I crazy?? - Elayna
SO EXCITED and right there with you Riley! You could go on forever about the boat as far as I am concerned. And, melting my heart to see Lenny helping Darwin on board the 40. You guys had a chance to talk with the Rice Family, from Sailing Catalpa about sailing Indonesia, right? Definitely Raja Ampat, Marquesas, and the Solomon and Marshall islands.. bring their situation with sea level rise to the world and allow your boys to see them while they're still here. Also, Great Barrier Reef islands, atolls etc? Meet Strick and Fran there.
Being on the water is so deeply centering, yes. Water is the emotional body and takes you away from the hustle and bustle of city life and noise and the intense energy of it all. I miss it. Can't wait for the Rapido 60 with your custom colors and decor. Excited for the future sailing plans.
I’m glad you’re a fan of the decor 😛 it’s slowly coming to life!! Not long now. - Elayna
I shamelessly admit that I escape with your videos from the doldrums of my office job. The 40 looks pretty cool 2/3 of your future home. Can't wait to see her in action.😊⛵
2/3 of our future home, I never thought about it like this 😅 honestly I’d be super super happy with ‘just’ the 40ft Rapido. I loved it.. - Elayna
