Transcripts
take what you know about multi-hulls
wrap it up in a wall and [ __ ] down the
road
when you take everything that you know
about catamarans wrap it up in a bowl i
have to be able to kick it all right
here we go me and ball sports
all right ready yeah go take what you
know about multi-holes wrap it up in a
ball and
down the road
[Music]
oh it's really humid here it's so humid
here in this new environment that we're
in apparently
we've flown too
well no that's just a lie
we have a very exciting episode coming
up right now this one's all about the
rapido which we're so close to jumping
aboard and taking off into the wild blue
yonder we have a very special guest
actually joining us for this episode
would you like to elaborate darling
you're being really fun
it's mark walla he's the guy that's
building our boat we're gonna
have him talk to you guys we reached out
to our patrons and got them to pull
together a whole bunch of questions and
then
morelli and melvin who are the designers
of the boats we've got the builder of
the boat the designers of the boat but
first of all we're going to go and see
my friend caroline who's been helping us
with the interior she's a designer and
one of my best friends growing up you
guys will love her so she's going to run
us through all the interior colors we've
picked out and this is the fun part it's
pretty funny the design brief has been
something along the lines of we want a
60-foot carbon trimaran with an old
leather couch
and we're not in vietnam we couldn't
keep you going that long while our boat
build is taking place in vietnam we are
still very much so in the bahamas where
we have scheduled a few important
meetings with some clever people who are
helping us pull off something pretty
incredible we well mostly riley has been
organizing the entire boat build from
the other side of the world it hasn't
been easy but it's all ticking along
quite nicely
[Music]
what happened this morning
i took lenny here this morning and
immediately he was like oh there must be
treasure see the fridge that's floating
in there yeah it was poking his head in
there for about 20 minutes
[Music]
hey
what have we got here ellie sweet potato
curry kind of
never made it before so it tastes
amazing i just had a nibble okay good
and david's showering uh yeah we'll be
there in a minute okay
this is the best way to shower on a boat
save water best view
it's just that everyone's looking at you
specially yeah while we're eating dinner
david come on
[Music]
hey
this is the best background i could find
um it's not that great
it's gonna have to be this is the only
background that we've got you don't like
it no i like yours yours is nice i don't
think so
this is why we need to help caroline
meet caroline everyone she's our
interior extraordinaire she wouldn't be
our interior though would she should be
our interior designer oh is that what
they say in the biz yeah that's in the
top yeah secret okay she's our interior
okay so hello this is our interior
hello i'm caroline i am doing the
interior design for la vagabond's new
tramaran i am a communication designer
graphic designer i usually work with the
concepts or the face of the brand but
i'm moving into
interior design i saw caroline's bedroom
and i was like you need to help us with
the drive-around we are at the point of
doing our visual mock-ups of the space
spoiler it looks sick the interior
concept for la vagabond is a wholesome
yet stylish intersection between a warm
winter cabin a captain's quarters and an
honest boat
that's how i would describe it i like
that i would have said edgy nautical
with lashings of shabby chic
absolutely riley we want a boat like no
other all right let's have a look at it
here it is this is um our most recent
rendering of the design nice we're still
trying to figure out whether we want to
go with this
or
this
yeah the blue or the white what does
everyone think blue or white we've
decided on mostly everything apart from
that blue or white for the cupboards i'm
thinking white might not be a good idea
just with the kids it's going to get
really dirty they won't be kids forever
though we'll have this boat for 30 years
i'm leaning towards the blue the white
does lighten up the room a bit more but
the blue is so cool and it looks nice
against the cork flooring the plants as
well so all of the ceiling and all of
the walls will be
exposed carbon i actually want it to
look and feel like a boat i want to see
if there's problems i want to see if
there's cracks even though
the
rapido trimaran is a state-of-the-art
yacht we don't want it to feel like
we're walking onto a floating hotel
exactly yeah we want it to feel like
we're almost stepping back in time into
just an honest boat
i'm sick to death of all these dishonest
boats getting around telling fear it
wants to feel like presenting themselves
as something that they're not it wants
to feel like a home but also a vessel
that takes you from a to b i love the
idea of the the splashback caroline is
it copper
yeah could look really awesome the bench
top what what kind of wood is this
walnut oh walnut i love that yeah with
the illusion of thickness um obviously
because it's on a boat it's going to be
as lightweight as possible so the sink
and the faucets caroline we're bringing
in a bit of weathered copper grass and
copper will be scattered throughout
wherever we can oh yeah everything
come together this is so much fun yeah
so
this is a dream come true honestly let
us know what you think in the comments
i'd love to be if people are just like
you guys are kidding yourself that looks
terrible
it's a bold design it's
certainly not your everyday
yeah so as you can see everyone we have
a leather couch we plan um to have this
in recycled leather i'm gonna try and
buy a secondhand couch um with the sort
of leather that we want because we're
just not going to get the
worn in feel from a brand new leather
couch we want it to feel like it's been
used for 50 years already yeah if anyone
has a old leather couch that you think
could look good um with the walnut wood
here let us know we'll buy it off here
yes please um and just something we can
like pull apart and re-upholster onto
the couch cushions on the boat we've got
the cork flooring because we went on
dougal and jazz's romancer and she said
the cork flooring is great she can like
drop things on it by accident and it
comes back up she said the stains came
out really easy it feels great as well
to walk on and it's sustainable it just
seems really practical as well for like
walking around with wet feet you don't
want to feel like you can't just do
whatever you want on your floors well
done darling you've just knocked it out
of the park
i could barely hold the camera still
with the zoom lens it is so funny
riley's out there on the dinghy with the
umbrella
because it's sprinkling he's been taking
the kids off the boat in the morning so
that
me and ellie and david can do a workout
which is so nice of him because he can
kind of do a workout anywhere but the
kids
love to come up to me and swing off my
legs and it's impossible to do jump
squats when they are wanting to climb up
on top of me they're on the horizon
heading back now that's a sight to see
if you were a passing by boat
how's it going
you go to the beach
[Music]
what happened
the
umbrella was full of sand
so it's going to take david
a long time to find the tender story of
my life
should we should we lift it up and
bucket it out yeah so ellie was kind
enough to take the kids to the beach
this morning so we could have mark on
board without the interruptions
there is a school coming though so i'm
not sure how long they're going to last
at the beach our special guest this is
mark everyone hi everyone
[Music]
so take us inside mark we're going in
the saloon so we looked at putting
double legs on the table we also looked
at where the freezer is that's the
freezer under the seat and that's where
we put the fish to freeze this we can
lower the table that's going to turn
into a bed this is where
lenny and darwin are going to sleep
normally i sleep here with me so i'm
going to actually have a bedroom like a
normal human adult so we've got a
forward-facing nav station which we
decided recently yeah so we can hear
this area we've got the nav desk so
that's the nav station there that's the
forward-facing window and there's
windows all along the side here yeah so
two massive windows at the front i'm
planning on having this window opening
that's what we're trying to achieve
really big one to get the air flowing
through there in the tropics we have
some side ports and the windows and then
we also have two hatches yeah in the
ceiling all right what about the galley
there's a lot of space in this galley
when i was on romance
i couldn't believe how much space there
was we've got two sinks the cooktop um
there's induction yeah and daisy is 11
which we you know just never use you've
got a nice ventilation around the stove
there is heaps of ventilation dividing
we're getting the master you get that
front opening window and yeah you've got
the ability to open all that up
front one and take out the we'll have
the whole back bulkhead open there's a
massive storage under here there's also
in this front area here's the holding
tank for the ford head yep and access to
pumps bilge pumps and shower pumps and
that inside here so that's like a
services cupboard
pumps are under the bed the water is
going to wake us up then
[Music]
[Laughter]
the thing we try and do is like isolate
the pump yeah as well as we can so it
doesn't vibrate the whole way here
everyone using water and yeah
unfortunately that's most boats like
that yeah yeah but the fresh water pump
will put in the engine room the engine
bay is really isolated from the cabin so
hopefully it won't be as loud as
originally they had the water tank under
the
saloon they moved it forward and put it
under the forward okay cabin floor to
get some weight forward okay it's just a
bit back heavy yeah a little bit to
think about the amount of weight and all
this
around the back and there's not much at
the front there's very little at the
front it's very empty and that's what
the boat needs it needs weight forward
can we look at the cockpit and
the room at the back we're going to have
fold out solar panels the idea is to
have the solar panels flush with the
beam at the back 410 watt rigid solar
panel and then you lift it up like a toy
box here and then you pull out three
flexible solar panels so on on anchor
you add 500 watts so if you put both
sides out it's a thousand watts yeah
massive thank you to sun power who will
be providing these solar panels for us
i'm going to include a link to their
website in the description below all
right so show us where the dinghy is
going in the back of the boat we're
going to build a section for the dinghy
to sit in the transom area it's
practical with the dinghy sitting there
and you can use the end of the boom as a
davit yeah for a try marin it's a pretty
good solution though because currently
on the other rapidos are they having the
dinghy
it's a little dinghy that they're
swinging around with the crane i really
didn't like that system at all it just
was never going to work yeah and you
have to have a small light dinghy this
is our car you need your dinghy to yeah
it's a family
and we're going to have bunks in the
amas now all of a sudden we've got
one two three four rooms so i called up
kai
and i'm like hey dude you know i love
you would you mind sleeping in the
hammer he goes oh we'll try it and and
yeah maybe i mean those those pipe cots
look good and i've slept in pipe cops a
lot i would totally do and the arm is
that's big like it's a big room in there
it's 4.8 meters long and as long as you
have ventilation it's not stuffy is it a
forward-facing hatch for airflow hatches
open with the back when they're sailing
you don't want the front to be yeah
because we can't have them sweating down
yeah can we have an opening sideways
yeah possibly
for anyone lost as to what we just
discussed the term amma refers to the
connecting two outer hulls of the
trimaran we've made the creative
decision to turn these hulls into crew
quarters if you will because of their
small size these will only be effective
to sleep people in calm seas or when
we're anchored let us know in the
comments if you'd be down for a night's
sleep from one of these guys
it is now pouring down with rain with
lots of thunder and lightning
as i suspected david's just gone to get
the kids and ellie from the beach and
they're probably gonna go get some lunch
because as soon as they come back here
there's gonna be sand everyone's gonna
need a shower they're gonna need to be
fed and we won't have much
time with mark
[Music]
so we're just looking at the colors the
whole color the non-skin
and the mast we do really want like a
vintage mustard color for the hull it's
going to be a lot of black as well the
mask is going to be black mark's trying
to talk us out of getting the black
cross beams
yeah why they're just super hot
uh okay it'll have gray skin on the top
non skin on the top of it yeah so
everywhere you walk will be grey you
won't be walking on black do you think
that would add to heat on the interior
small amount i mean but it's away from
the main hull maybe we should paint them
yellow elena what do you think about
that well can we get a mock-up
i'd like to see it in a model like a
mock-up yeah i'm trying to get the final
color renderings
so it's exactly what this is what we're
doing yeah that's what we would love to
see so the master color here isn't the
final color by the way um it's just a
temporary one this is definitely gold
we're not going gold don't worry
just escaped the boat for a little bit
whilst riley gets set up for our next
meeting got my earpods in with some
music got my daily dose of athletic
greens in a little travel pack here
check out this sport
[Music]
beautiful we're super stoked to be
sharing athletic greens with you guys
thank you so much for the support
athletic greens riley and i are now the
crew which is a problem because they
drink all my athletic greens and i got
to order more and supplies are not easy
to get on the boat um i guess it's a
good thing we're all keeping healthy on
the boat and it's as easy as this
that's it just mix it with water
tastes delicious now if you haven't
heard of athletic grains before really i
think he must have been living under a
rock this whole time because
everyone i follow online and look up to
they're all drinking it there's a reason
people are sharing this there's nothing
but good things to be said about
athletic greens honestly they're truly a
great company but it supports your
immunity your energy levels 75 vitamins
and minerals prebiotics and probiotics
antioxidants if you want to see what all
the fuss is about you're welcome to head
to athletic greens.com
slv and with your first purchase they're
actually going to send you five travel
packs for free as well as a year supply
of their vitamin d3 and k2 give it a go
oh man there's some doggies hi doggies
hey are you nice doggies
are you nice hey
[Music]
hey mate i've got eric here from eminem
i reached out to our patrons to ask them
what questions that they would like to
be able to ask the designers i've got
nicola reid here on a like for like how
does it compare in living space to slv1
and slv2 william gregor also asked that
how big is it inside it was like 450 or
500 square feet something like that of
floor space on the trimaran the biggest
difference is that you have so much more
outdoor living space in terms of usable
area on deck it's
meters wide which is huge so it's a
third again as wide as this particular
vessel the outdoor area is massive ample
room for the kids
but yeah the interior living area would
be the saloon and then the cockpit area
oh man
that's a big screecher we're still fine
feeling sort of your downwind uh
yeah generation here that's a lot of
style
we're talking about making that a top
down furler so that it's just easier to
handle short-handed yeah you're the man
that has done all of the design work
behind
deck fitting placement and just making
it i want to say ergonomic but that's
not that's not ergonomic yeah
scalability style ability yeah exactly
so we're trying to maximize
the sale ability for a single-handed or
very short-handed crew so yeah like
you're saying you pretty much are
in charge of the boat um and you may or
may not have helped along the way but
you want to be able to put the sails
down furl up the head soles all from the
app cockpit we were looking at the the
living space area though yeah
the opening
the opening salvo from nicola and
william so um here's the living space in
the main salon you have your
seating area and a galley on the
starboard side it's kind of like a
hybrid indoor outdoor living space and
then we go down below there's a small
cabin aft probably the kids bunk room
right and then the main cabin up forward
pretty sizable bed and head and shower
so let's include the the sun deck that's
aft aft would it be fair to say that
that would be the equivalent of a
55 foot or a 60-foot catamaran i'd say
come comparable to
the
55-foot cat or so what will be a
comfortable cruising speed say in flat
sea conditions in 15 knots true and that
was
nicholas cyprios so how many miles a day
on an atlantic crossing if the breeze is
kind of
a beam or ass you're basically doing
over wind speed so 18 20 knots
has a comfortable speed in sort of
medium flat water
[Music]
the people on board that kind of
determine what you feel is
comfortable so let's get a little bit
realistic about this because you're not
going to do 20 knots sustained fan then
it would be a five-day passage i was
going to split the difference at 15
which is 350 mile days
yeah it's 360. 350 mile days is
certainly attainable
uh at comfort
yeah you know like you could you could
be knocking out 500 if you really wanted
to but i wouldn't
i couldn't even
imagine doing a 500 mile day i'm all
about
keeping the stress off the boat not
pushing the sails and everything just
for more for longevity than anything
we're not really absolutely yeah yeah
this is your home you're living on it
it's not a boat it's not something you
go racing around so you need to preserve
the asset and make it have a long
lifespan yeah having said that though i
do have a vague plan to take it down to
new zealand then across to patagonia
through the southern ocean how do you
think that this boat would go in the
southern ocean i think the boat would be
good you have so much horsepower i mean
in the southern ocean the biggest thing
is rents or lows that come through yeah
and with a faster platform you can
position yourself favorably
geographically relative to the front
you're not necessarily going to outrun
it but you can get out of its way and
then be in a more favorable sea state or
wind condition yeah and the same can be
said of hurricanes being in this part of
the world and seeing so many hurricanes
in this area that's one thing that i've
always thought about it might be blowing
200 knots in the eye of the storm and
then
only 40 100 miles south yeah you're not
going to outrun it no but you could you
don't need it you can
it opens up your options you're not sort
of at the mercy you're not like a little
cork floating around and you're going to
get run over by this
freight train i've got daniel weinstein
here who was asking how is the c motion
in terms of pitch or heave the floats
are really big there's lots of volume in
the ends of it so the boat's not sort of
doing a pitching motion
yep a lot a lot more modern designs are
pushing more volumes into the ends of
the boat yeah to reduce that sort of
motion you can see the evolution sort of
a monohulls even if they used to have
valves that were v-shaped like this
right with not very much water uh or
displacement at the bottom yep right so
it's easy for the boat to sort of press
into the water like this and then it's
sort of like loading up a spring and
then it rebounds right as you're adding
more and more volume as it gets
submerged whereas nowadays the bowels
are sort of shaping like this we have a
lot of volume at the very very start
there's a lot of a lot of resistance to
sort of bury the bowels in yeah and then
once they're in
their reverse bowels to help shed the
water as it releases out of the way yeah
which is a really nice feature
welcome aboard mark representative of
rapido we reached out to some of our
patrons for the questions that they want
to know
from rapido from thomas olsen
what is the top speed you know over 30 i
suppose you could do that but yeah it
depends how hard you're going to drive
the boat yeah and is that sustained high
20s sailing on on the limits in perfect
condition yeah like in with a good sail
or a sea condition where you've got some
waves helping it will be hard to
maintain it are you okay with sustained
28 knots elena um
yeah i mean i was
25 at the helm
easy
you don't realize how fast you actually
are going because it's quite stable on
say a standard atlantic crossing how
many easy miles would you expect us to
be able to do in a 24 hour period on a
standard atlantic crossing we've got 18
to 21 coming from
130 or 40 degrees so it's a little bit
too far downwind on the website the
fastest point of sale is 100 degrees or
between 90 and 100 so what i'm saying is
it is on a on an atlantic crossing it's
a little bit too far downwind to be
fully rounded up yeah so but you'll get
some surfing you'll get some waves
surfing and but you can also put more
sail up yeah okay so you're talking
about 18 to 20 knots
at about 130 degrees yep
okay so you should be able to average
around 15 knots quite easily so it's a
15 20 that's 360.
sweet that's a that's about what i was
expecting yeah
that's nice that'll do it seems so fast
but then i have to recalibrate because i
know having been on board romanza but it
just it's a different concept because it
feels right yeah on the monohull that we
first had
it felt like it was going to explode if
we were doing 11 knots juan david wants
to know uh has there been a delay and
have there been any supply chain issues
so this is where i say everything's
going really well
everything's going really well to plan
but yes there has been um supply chain
issues we've had the pandemic so we had
a lot of lockdowns in in ho chi minh
city last year freight companies and
shipping lines are
not coping with the supply but also a
lot of our suppliers are getting trouble
with their raw material supply so
they have to wait for their raw
materials to make the you know the glue
or the resin or the foam or yeah um or
even the electronics how's our schedule
going well we're slightly in front even
though we have these problems yeah john
starlight says i'm not a sailor but i'm
a nurse so i'm wondering what safety
features this boat has that are better
or different than any other sailboat the
trimarans have a lot of collision
bulkheads and and watertight
compartments throughout where you've got
two separate large compartments on each
side in the front and then you've got a
compartment in the rear
of each armor yeah so there's at least
six collision bulkheads and in the main
hull and forward you've got a big water
tight bulkhead area
bow and at the stern watertight
compartment as well yeah any other
safety features well the fact that all
your machinery and everything's in one
space under the main saloon in case of
any sort of fire it's easy to isolate
got the fire extinguishers in there yeah
yeah that's really good
fire is probably the biggest concern for
a blue water passage um what about the
tilting is in the stability
yeah that's the safety feature yeah i i
agree yeah it talks to you more a
catamaran's a flat surface
so a trimaran
heals which means there's
feedback there's more information with
which to make your decisions on all
catamarans you've got to go by the
numbers a bit until you really hone
your sensations on board whereas on the
monohull i would actually fall out of
bed that's what i was like okay yeah
yeah something's happening here what
i'll experience on the try around is
that but much much less so your spidey
sensors will just be able to operate in
better time which i think is a massive
safety thing yeah we'll finally be
moving aboard our new try later this
year but in the meantime just to fill
you guys in on some things with the
recent decision to keep our current la
vagabond the second we're slowly heading
north from the bahamas up to annapolis
we need to get la vagabonde all glammed
up and ready for charter in 2023.
captain jack in particular cannot wait
for what's in store for vagabond
adventures another massive thanks to all
of you guys for watching and supporting
us for so many years now
