Launching our New 60ft Trimaran! (La Vagabonde III)

[@falconquest2068]

Wow! Congratulations guys, I remember when Ryley first mentioned Rapido and now here you are with your very own. May the wind always fill your sails. Happy sailing!

[@shawntaylor817]

I recall the first episode where Elyana was worried about going back to the first La Vagbonde 1 with Riley. What a journey for you both.

[@jaysnowden2]

Back when she was playing guitar where they met. Your so right. Who’d ever thought they’d come so far now w kids and new boats. What a ride.

[@lotusdolphin]

I remember that! Man they’ve come along ways haven’t they?

[@lorileeolmsted3869]

I remember that too. Elena it seems like a lifetime ago! Now you’re a Mumma of 2, and you & Riley fit like a glove ❤. And now you’ve all got a brand new family sized yacht home to sail the world with. How enviously exciting!!

[@jessicanaser2939]

Omgosh! The boat is EPIC !! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE what the inside looks like ! The carbon fiber goes so well. Just love it! When you guys both were on the boat standing there together. So many emotions, omg... Also, the boys have changed so much in such a short time. They are so cute! Lenny spot on with the color....I couldn't wait for him to see it. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. I'm so excited for you all !! A huge CONGRATULATIONS!!

[@ChircaSorin04]

I'm very curious how much they payed for this boat

[@Flirtypanda89]

I cry with yall all the time, but I don't know that I've ever been this excited for people I don't actually know. 😂 Congratulations, guys! This is stunning!

[@todd793]

Congratulations 🎉

[@abberantgeck0]

As someone who works in oil & gas, it's insane that you stayed on the boat for the lift. So dangerous. Why risk your life for no reason?

[@rawganic5183]

Goosebumps and a tear watching this. Not because of the boat (I couldn’t care less about sailing) but because of the achievement for you guys. Been a longtime follower and I can’t help but be PROUD of you guys like your my bloody best mate!!! 😊 Big love to you from a fellow Aussie back home ❤

[@janphillips295]

Could not have said it better. Another fellow Aussie close to tears and sooooo proud of you guys.❤

[@forrestwebb6182]

What a moment! I have to say, having worked offshore in the Gulf of Mexico for many years, it was quite bizarre indeed to see Riley and the crew riding the suspended load all the way to the water. That would never happen in the US; things do break, and the risk of a failure is not worth people's lives. Obviously, these guys had massive trust in the crane and rigging, and I'm glad to see everyone and your beautiful boat made it to the water safely!

[@neilfromclearwaterfl81]

Bizarre is an understatement! But then again I've been the one that's had to go up and deal with it when things went awry. Couldn't imagine having to also consider other people below me on a suspended load while trying to repair someone else's mistake when they set things up. One does have to question Rapido's setting up in a shop with such restricted access to the water where they can't use a more conventional travel lift or ramp for launching. Best!

[@stephengloor8451]

Totally agree - could not understand why anybody would risk riding the load like that

[@bravofighter]

Yeah, as an engineering inspector, I was a bit surprised as well, that was something that used to happen quite often, laborers flying with the manhole structures to give hand signals to the crane operator and what-not, but not in perhaps 30 years. I’ve seen things go catastrophic, sometimes it’s just mother nature paying a sudden visit, sometimes it’s a bad strap or cable.

[@wayneanderson1641]

What a goofy hairdo😮

[@JessicaNiles]

Also could not believe that! NO THANK YOU!!! 🙈

[@Tech_reviews-insta_360]

I’m so excited to see your new home on the water I have been waiting. Can’t believe it is finally happening. I’m so glad for you

[@TheCybrKnyf]

I cannot express how amazing this is for us watching. I'm so proud of everything you've accomplished. Way to go, you two.

[@sjwells04]

Elayna your sweet face when you stepped on the boat was such a moment. To think of telling 21 year old Elayna singing in the Mediterranean that she was going to own a trimaran not even a decade later! Your videos have made this all possible, you must be so proud :)

[@aydenbrodsky9551]

I love watching Lenny really analyse everything, you can see it in his eyes. Looking at everything with just a little extra care for detail and so eager to question everything, and always wanting to learn how things work or what they do. I see alot of Riley in Lenny 😂

[@blueolives7649]

Your new home is so beautiful with the orange and the black! Congratulations to the little family!!! 🧡🖤 So much planning during the last 2 years... So much work and packing work all around the world! Thank you for sharing your life, we need to see your adventure to keep us going on our not too adventurous life! ❤ Cheers from Montreal, Canada!!! 🇨🇦 We are waiting for you here via the Saint-Laurent River!

[@ekoado3373]

What a joy to follow this channel. I have memories of my own life and how I felt at the time watching this channel. I come from a non outdoor, non sea going family I first ventured off through this channel. What a good escape. Thanks for posting and inspiring. Keep being wholesome. Much love from Washington D.C.

[@smetlogik]

Watching you guys see the inside for the first time, just wow. Immediately thought, "Good vibes on this boat, good vibes". Well done SLV! You're an inspiration. One side note: You might have to keep the "Big Bird" name in there somewhere for the kiddos. 😁

[@annemacleod1421]

I held my breath…thinking how it must’ve gone great because you put up the video! Congratulations to everyone who built this boat…and to you both for pursuing your vision…and sharing it with us so we might live vicariously! 👏🏼👏🏼🎉🎉🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ

[@TamaraShayna]

I didnt realize how invested I was in your journey until I breathed sigh of relief when the boys got on board.

[@GFHW]

I can't wait to see Big Bird fly. She's such a beautiful boat... Errr. "Mango magic" i mean ;P Seriously happy for you both.

[@dpmakestuff]

The outside is gorgeous, and I'm glad they love the interior. Certainly not for me, but certainly not my boat. Congrats fam!

[@bdshort]

It’s a bit eclectic (if that’s the right word)… not what I’d pick, but as you said, it’s not our boat! The outside is amazing though. Looking forward to seeing their new adventures on their new home.

[@Izzy-g7t]

Agree. The exterior looks cool, and hey people should go for what they like but good GOD, the interior is horrendous to me. 😅

[@gregmatthies8128]

@@Izzy-g7t agree the interior is just ridiculous but I don’t think the exterior works either maybe with the black sails up but I think the Winns H&H 44 is a better looking boat easily but they should have gone with the dagger boards.

[@Izzy-g7t]

@@gregmatthies8128 100% agree that most boats out there look better, but the yellow exterior wouldn't put me off owning a boat like this if I loved the other aspects. The interior would, though.

[@faroutflorida2059]

I used to care for an elderly lady in her home and I told her for years about your adventures. If she was with us still, she would be thrilled to hear about this day. Congratulations! May there be wind in your sails and peace on the sea!

[@markl9309]

This amazing journey you guys have embarked on several years ago - and now with two "shipmates" aboard who will hopefully one day be able to "stand watch" while you take it easy - - has become the adventure, of - - - - 4 life times !! You have been "REAL" and that makes each video worth waiting for. Thank You.

[@ellencutspaper571]

This is so exciting! To actually get to see it touch water for the first time!!! Wow what a moment & for Riley to physically be on her as she touched down!!!! Congratulations at long last ❤️ 🎊! Such proud moments for y’all to bring your dreams to life!

[@johnhenderson2286]

Being a crane slinger my heart went into my throat watching them hoist the boat!!!! Congratulations on the next chapter, such a beautiful boat

[@dancarter482]

_Turd-World NIGHTMARE!_

[@alexandertelehin3425]

Yeah wish it was mine.

[@gregmatthies8128]

There is no way you could do that in Aust riding the boat like that and using body weight to keep it in some sort of trim. Not an attractive boat my opinion but that odour is wrong and the interior …….. ugly sorry people.

[@jinglejacs]

My heart was in my mouth with the launch! I can't imagine what it was like for you two lol. She looks amazing on the water guys, I'm sure the next couple of videos will be spent adding what I call your 'warm and cosies' (all the things needed to actually live on the boat lol) and then we'll be off! SLV adventures begin anew. Congratulations, you've worked so hard for this, all the upheavals, the strain on both you two and the kids, it will all be worth it when you're speeding off on your first adventure. ❤

[@djSmokeShow]

Thank you for taking all of us on this mind boggling magnificent journey of yours. You've brought a massive amount of joy to millions and we thank you.

[@SailingLaVagabonde]

Thank you thank you 🥲

[@chadaguaka]

I love the fact that there was a ceremony before sail or celebrating the new boat. In my culture, before any journey, sailors and their family would go chant and have a huge ceremony before sailors start their journey for good health and successful journey. Prayers going out to your family what a beautiful video

[@cherylsibson2529]

I had vision of Riley when he was in the Trimaran, acting like " Wendy" from Peter Pan, or rather, he's Peter Pan, oh she can so fly as well as sail, you've made your dreams possible so it can happen! Congratulations, so glad for you all!

[@andy_cooks]

How Bloody Good! congratulations legends

So Happy finally you guys have your own floating home "*Mango Magic*" again and are ready for some beautiful trips and to discover new areas 🙂

[@peoplewatchingpeople684]

The vessel is beautiful. The Launch was nerve racking. Good decisions with regard to the the boys. You both look super happy and relieved to have her in the water. I look forward to watching your next adventures. Riley, Elayna, you should be super proud of yourselves, well done 👏🏼🙏🏻

[@GroovyGuy.]

What a sight! 👁👁 "Big Bird" actually flew ALL her hulls at once, right up and over the trees! Congrats LVIII 🤙The journey begins, again...

[@lornah4147]

OMG crying and so excited for total strangers 🙂 So very happy for you both and sad that we're waitng another week to see what is happening. What a beautiful boat the amount of detail is simply incredible! Can't wait to see the next video!!!!

[@rwdyer2263]

Wow! I have watched you both from the very beginning and what a journey you have had thus far. It's simply amazing to tag along with you as you grow together as a family and as individuals (personal growth). Loved Darwin's thumbs up! Totally unexpected yet adorable as heck. Riley you were beaming with pride and I really appreciated how tenderly you held Elay when she was finally onboard and expressing her sense of relief. You're a good man. Elayna's anxiety at watching the initial lift off was contagious. I couldn't see everything, just her dropping F-bombs so wasn't quite sure what was going on. I will say that I wish all of you on board had been tied off to a separate choker or lanyard of sorts. Had one of those boat supporting slings failed, that would not have been pretty. But all's well that ends well and this Mango Madness launch has certainly ended well and started your next chapter off with a bang! Wishing you happy sailing and good health always, cheers! Rick

[@sail4life]

I feel like I just watched history in the making! Phenomenal work by you and the whole interior design / Rapido team. So glad you managed to launch in daylight so we could share a bit of the Adrenalin! I hope the boat exceeds expectations in all respects. Stay safe out there, sailors!

[@alexandertelehin3425]

Watching your home leave the trailer, while being lifted by the crane I could see how close those up right trailer posts were to the main hull as it all started to tilt and sway. That was a heart stopping moment. Those trailer posts have to be hinged and to make them fall away from the hull just prior lifting.

[@frankfranco3626]

I’m so happy for you guys. We’ve all been waiting anxiously for this moment. Congratulations Elena and Riley!!!
