WORLD TOUR: Spirit 72
🇬🇧 This week, we're cracking on with the fifth leg of our 'world sailboat tour’ and sailing the awe-inspiring Spirit 72!
Look familiar? 👀 You may have caught none other than James Bond himself upon a Spirit 54 in the 2006 film Casino Royale, or the Spirit 46 in No Time To Die.
Given their record of cinematic acclaim, Riles and I were in total shock when Spirit Yachts (founded by Sean McMillan and Mick Newman) gave us the green light to film within their large waterside facility & experience the magic of a Spirit Yacht being built! And that's not all... this week, we're getting to test sail the Spirit 72 along the stunning Suffolk coastline. Yeeawww!!
Naturally, a MASSIVE thank you to all of the highly skilled designers, naval architects, boat builders, cabinet makers, electricians, engineers and crew at Spirit Yachts for their time and generosity.
We hope you enjoy this early (ad free) preview of next weeks episode! As always, thank you so much for your support - we simply couldn't film these once-in-a-lifetime adventures without it!
Love,
Elay, Riley, Lenny & Darwin

What a vessel!! Thank you for the looksee Cheers
This episode opened up my eyes to the absolutely glorious world of wooden boats! I'm in love. Thanks for sharing!
I am so glad to hear that you are feeling proud of what you have accomplished! It truly is amazing and to have shared it with so many others, another huge accomplishment!!! These boats are the prettiest I have seen - ever! Wow! Thanks! ❤️
I sure hope all of the master craftsmen were treated to this episode of your showcasing what it is that they do. That’s a creation of an artistic piece of sailing vessel. I was getting goose bumps and tear eyed at times taking the tour with you guys. Well done ❤️
Human ingenuity at its finest. 😊⛵️
What an absolutely beautiful vessel! And the woodworking that went into building it. My carpenter dad would have speent days...
Loving your latest videos! Up to a new level, brilliant!
Quick heads up it’s IPSWICH not IPSWITCH (1:06)
What a great episode! Have been waiting for this one. More classic yachts please.
Can we have a little Rapido update? Do you have time for a LIVE from Bali? Rapido, Rapido, Rapido!
You guys nailed the Bond thumbnail photo!
What a beautiful boat! Exquisite! It was nice to see that splendid craft sail. Thank you. I kind of “ white knuckled “ with the heaving tho… doesn’t look relaxing… looks like BE AWARE AT ALL TIMES.
Elayna makes a great Bond girl.
I just love how much fun you two are having on your “world tour”. It brings a smile to my face each time you introduce us to one of these masterpieces . Mostly because of the way you react to the experience. I try to image what it would be like to step on to the deck with you. Can’t wait for the experience of accepting the Rapido.
Vibe check 10 😔🙏🏼🫶🏼 Insanely beautiful!
A wonderful bonus. Two in one week. Thank you. The Tri must be nearly done. WooHoo. This is an absolutely beautiful, functional piece of art.
Oh my! What a wonderful episode! I am all primed to see the next one! If I ever win one of those billion dollar lotteries, I’m hiring a crew and getting one of those works of art.
Awesome video, so happy to see some classic style and attention to detail! Oh and a performer too.
I had been waiting for this boat ever since you mentioned it months ago. It is so beautiful. Thank you.
Miele brand stove!! That's what I've taken away from the video lol
SO good. Elayna and Riley, it is utterly true. To track what you have done since you began sailing together is pretty incredible, how you have progressed as sailors, as videographers, as Riley says "movie" makers (artists really), in your relationship, as parents, and with the half ton of outside projects, and as travelers. Celebrating you from here. xo
Stunning boat, hope you enjoyed England!
That boat reminds me of a Ralph Lauren ad. Very cool very classy very beautiful
Sick 🤙
