Given the Keys to TEST their NEW BOAT! (40ft TRIMARAN)
Straight after last week's boat tour, we're setting sail upon the Rapido 40 as a family!
Join Riles and I for an overnight sail, where we will be filling you in on all the sailing stats! From tacking (she tacks like a beast 😎), to testing out the new sails, to dodging many a stray buoy... the next forty eight hours onboard will be a steep learning curve for us both.
A massive shout out to our mate Erik from Morrelli & Melvin for letting us chat to him about all we experienced in relation to the design of this 40ft vessel. Riles and I hope you guys appreciate this additional slice of insight.
We feel so bloody lucky to be out sailing again. If there's anything we've missed in relation to the 40 that you'd like to know about, drop us a message in the comments below and we will try our best to get back to ya!
As always, we hope you enjoy this early (Ad Free) preview of next week's episode. A massive thank you from us all for your support.
Love,
Elayna & Riley, Lenny & Darwin

It's so nice to see your enthusiasm - really shines through!
Fantastic! Say, maybe show longer drone scenes. Mother Earth is pretty epic.
Hurray, now able rejoined as Patron! Have followed you for years!
Hey Tom! Welcome back, much love ☺️👌🏽
Thanks for all you have done. Cheers Dan
Hi guys, we thoroughly enjoy your inspirational story and plan to join you out on the water once we have our own catamaran! I was watching a video the Wynns posted earlier this week about some newer lightening abatement technology that Just Catamarans are now installing. Have you looked into this for your new trimaran? Cheers, Olly & Annie (Clearwater, FL)
Hey guys, amazing news!! get amongst it. + We'll be discussing lighting heaps over the next few weeks on Patreon and probably YouTube. Hot topic, hoping to do a live stream about it soon 😍⚡Stay tuned x Elay
Beautiful Boat! You'll be swimming in the 60! But that's not a bad thing Cheers
Nice to see you both back in your element.
Cheers, there are no words for how good it feels to be back on the water. ☺️We are our full selves again.
Yes I love the way you all see life. God bless you to your health! Beautiful work, definitely an inspiration. Here is some music from Africa I found on you tube i love to dance to. enjoy! Namaste Caroline https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-I5GN5XCKs
Riley, I noticed both Elayna and Lenny commented about how "hot" one of the compartments was, is that normal or is there ventilation that just wasn't being used? Also maybe because I'm not a sailor, but the trimaran seemed to have an awful lot of lines about the mast? Seems like it would take an experience sailor like you to become familiar. One last question, I was really impressed with the reversable prop for charging does the 40 have that feature or was that special for the 60?
Tie that main sail cover awwwwwway !!! So good to see how happy you are to be back on the water. More SAILING content please !!!
Definitely! we're so happy to be back on the water filming sailing content again. This is what we want to be doing x
We can’t wait to see the 60 in action.
Neither can we 😍🚀
You're making me want to quit my job and buy a 40. Beautiful. 😊⛵
Do it!!!
So happy for ALL of us you are sailing again😃. Excited for your family!!
How impressive is the boat and how impressive are the two of you as sailors! Very proud of you! The boys looked kind of bored! Liked seeing where the beds are. It’s all so exciting!
Aww thanks Lanah 💌 we're excited as heck to be on our new Rapido, so much love to you x
Great video! Loved seeing the sailing again.
So did we!! 😂😍 feels like home
I can't wait for the 60, Im a sucker for speed, combined with grace. The Rapidos look graceful in the water, they seem to hover on top, like elegant swans. I love cats, they are great, but they tack like a toaster.
I hear you, bold yet graceful is the sweet spot.
Great to see your laughter and happiness to be out on the water and getting into it.
Excellent vid as per usual... Thank you. 👍 umm what's this Booweee you keep talking about? 🤔🤣 I'm sure the Mericans won't mind the propper Aussie pronunciation of a 'Boy' 😉🤣🤣🤣 Looking forward to the 50 and then the 60 👌
So if this was 40foot, how big was La Vagabonde 2 just for comparison? And as someone who knows nothing, because you are getting a 60foot does that mean it’s 6 metres longer?
Riley, how will you determine your "personal maximum safe cruising speed" when you have your family onboard LV3? (assuming your max speed may be higher when you are single handed)
Great to see you guys on the water again 🌊
Couldn't be happier to be back on the water x
I was wondering if having the electric motors versus the two diesels, is there a thrust difference in comparison? Also the bow thruster worked well I assume. Riley loves those right 😂 AND, did you ever need to start the generator for any needed battery boost or to run the water maker? And lastly, hell, why doesn’t it bounce??? 🤣
Ok, I am ready for more. However you did scare me
