UNBOXING OUR INTERIOR! (+ Rudder / What's holding us back...)
Last week Riles and I finally got to share our first glimpses of our new trimaran with you all! Thanks for all your kind feedback guys - we're really stoked at how she's turning out!
This week, we're back at Rapido's HQ as we take on some last minute tasks. So join us, as we unpack our interior, work on our custom rudder and liaise with the team at OBMG on our electrical system.
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

So for those of us that never got any of the Patreon supporter level stuff before, do we get hookups with the new gear?! 😍
Def go to Japan!! One of my fave places in the world, literally can't get enough of it! Overwhelming at first but beautifully scenic, bonkas pop culture, delicious food and lovely people ❤️
New Merch looks amazing? Will you open the merchandise to Patreon before you announce it on YouTube?
❤️
OK, all of this is so good and so exciting but two things... Your #thatfeeling bit totally had me welling up! Second, when is the new merch available? It looks so good! Cheers, guys!
Darwin is so grown up sounding! Super excited for you guys!!! Looking forward to the next episode for sure!!!! Love you guys! ❤️
She reminds me of a Golden Cowrie. The color is superb.
Wow! Such a good video. Lots packed into 30 minutes. I am really excited for you. Love the new merch.
Do I recall that you are planning to rent your place in Bali while you are SLV-ing ?
I’m eagerly looking forward to the video of the new boat on the water!! You just know everyone is gonna be so excited. SLV 3.0 !!
the coppercoat looks sick! well done
Does Riley have on Lenny's life jacket? :D And yeah, was hugely suspicious of the "classic mustard" color.. and I've been converted and LOVE it.
Another epic video!
Will the rudder have an Orca Safe Mode? IE, can you hoist it all the way out of the water?
Please excuse my ignorance as my other half is the engineer in the crew, but how does the keel fit into the 'amazing rudder that won't hit the bottom etc' equation? Surely the keel is going to hit anything dangerous first? Also. I see your foot attire there Riley. When are you going to do a Darn Tough socks promo ? Best socks on the planet.
Smartwool is better than Darn Tough, less synthetic and more wool in every sock. (Saying this even though I'm a Vermonter and I WANT to love my local team.)
I love your new merch. I was wondering what merch provider you guys use? I am looking for a new company for myself.
Excited for you guys...and excited for us, your new merch looks great! Those pants look super comfy!
Such exciting times for you guys… it’s been a long time coming and you have worked so hard to make this dream a reality. So happy for you. It is a bit silly but I have come to think of the two of you as just some of my kids, and the little ones remind me so much of my grandkids. Happy to have you in my life.
How exciting this is…we are nearing launch day, it’s been a minute. I’m surprised Riles is not tracking weights of items like a grocery checkout. We’ve reached maximum GVW! 🤣 Just wondering if reverse thrust will sound anything like a Tesla? I swear that sound is from the “Jetson’s” cartoon of the past! ❤️ the video ☺️
I have been watching LA Vagabonde for years and congratulations on your New boat. Your boat looks amazing!
The best way to describe the feeling of sailing for me is that it completely fills me up. It fills my eyes with the beauty of the water and the islands we are near. It fills my ears with the sound of the wind in the sails. It fills my mind thinking about our course, the wind direction, the weather - and how to put that all together to get us where we want to go. What is left is filled with motion of the boat. All this combines to fill my soul.....with incredible joy and happiness.
Can’t wait to see all the new merch, love the new logo! You might be able to try something like Mod Podge for the picture/maps on the nav station. Can’t wait to see it all come together!
Love the boat, love the colour, great merch and love you guys.
Opening stuff like it's Christmas. High tech rudders. Old bread. Sexy feet. But being a teenager in the seventies, the Led Zeppelin t- shirt made my day! 😎⛵️
No surprise Riley helped create the rudder of the future of sailing. The boat is looking fantastic, can’t wait for her to get to the water. Lenny and Darwin are getting so big!
Lovely❤️
Wow great job on the merch! You guys are the first YouTubers I’ve seen design something other than the basic hoodie and Tshirt. Thank you for putting so much effort into what you produce!
Peace and all Love ❤️ to my little friends who sail the Planet!
love the video. looking forward to all the upcoming adventures
