RAPIDO 60 TRIMARAN, WORLDS FASTEST CRUISING MULTIHULL

This was a very interesting project, On my way back from Vietnam, I dropped into Batam Island off the coast of Sumatra, to film a friends brand new amazing carbon fibre yacht he had just built. Literally a week or two old. TALK ABOUT FAST ! Stable and so easy to sail ! It's very much the cruising boat of the future,
I didn't have all my normal crew or cameras with me and decided to shoot this on a tiny SONY A7s, which was pretty much useless when shooting from a dingy in rough water. I asked my son to purchase a little DJI OSMO for a bit of fun and to bring it up with him (which ended being a life saver) And we also we asked a DJI drone crew to come in from Jakarta to help out as well. The stability results from these little DJI cameras were outstanding !
The RAPIDO TRIMARAN people were more than happy with the end result. :) And me being a very fussy camera nerd... was blown away ! Will these little toy cameras replace my RED CAMERAS... No. But I have to say, they were the perfect tools for this project.

[@leonaessens4399]

I absolutely love this boat, having once owned a 45ft all-wood trimaran myself back in the late 1970s. The only thing that I keep going back to here is the Rapido's helm position which, to me, seems ludicrously exposed for a cruising vessel of this size. I guess the La Vagabonde crew might not mind that too much since they are used to their Outremer performance cat 's strangely exposed and uncomfortable-looking helm position already. Of course it's all a matter of personal preferences, anyway and ultimately I think the Rapido's overall appeal, as far as Riley is concerned, is its speed. Riley is well known for his belief in the value of speed as a crucial safety factor in the life of an ocean sailor, and the Rapido will give him that in spades!

A 60’ Rapido’s centre hull has similar living space to an old Cole style 45’ monohull (they’re a pilot house design just slightly smaller) In good weather the tramps actually give you more usable room than the Outremer cat they currently have, if they were shifting from a 36’ mono it’d be a huge upgrade it just depends which end you’re coming from and no, a tri is not a mono with outriggers or a cat with an extra float, they work on lack of weight (only one amas is in the water at a time for that reason) I have a 31’ Farrier aft berth trimaran, the aft berth and V berth are claustrophobic and only good for kids (I sail solo and sleep in the main section) it’s has roughly the same living area inside as a 25’ Endevour but it’s not designed or meant to be anything but a weekend coastal cruiser mainly because it won’t carry the weight of provisions, for myself I go away for up to three months at a time, would I live full time in it! NO! But it’s fast, it’ll sail at 25 knots and has seen 30 knots (by mistake as it’s pushing the limits to pitch pole: a 40’ Rapido would be perfect for solo or a couple just not for two blokes unless or course you like men... having said all this, I don’t see an issue with three adults (Elayna and the nanny lol, I’ve wondered about that, they’ve changed from being the sailing Aussie battlers who manage to put together some good video’s to having some luck with the deal with Outremer and being the most watched sailing chanel and now to this, I can see them loosing a lot of patrions, I hope not but yeah) and two kids living full time on the 60’er just people see the cat with all of the usable space in bad weather and compare it when they should just look at the Rapido for what it is... I hope they go as planned, they didn’t sail the cat for very long, not when you consider that most of us wouldn’t have half of it paid for by now, the Rapido might be the same, sail it for a few years the retire it to rent a boat then maybe a huge steel mono to go smashing up some icebergs.

It seems I am not the only one that has developed ambigous feelings about the Rapido 60. When I first saw "her" I was in love at first sight, but studying "her" a little closer "her" flaws becomes .. visible - at least if you want a boat for circumnavigation and being a comfortable home. The helm is just the first obvious flaw you see, I can't see the La Vagabonde family being comfortable there - and I wouldn't be either. A kitchen table made of carbon fiber is impressive and looks gorgeous in the harbor, but when there is no place to secure your cutting board while sailing, it is better with a table made of a proper plank. And an induction cooker ??, on a sailboat - a sailing machine where you have to start your generator every time you have to cook ?? Then there is the engine and energy production - why is this boat not equipped with electric motors, yes two electric motors, with regeneration and a large battery instead of a large light machine (generator)?. And the usual diesel Yanmar - both for redundancy and in case of longer "motor runs" 100-150KWh battery weighs between 1000 and 1200 Kg, but then perhaps it would also be reasonable with the induction cooker. I'm afraid that if I were to place an order for a Rapido 60 I would ask for so many design changes that they would refuse to deliver - such a shame

[@Koala63211]

Pretty sure Riley and Alayna from La Vagabonde did a bucketful of research before settling on The Rapido Trimaran as their new boat. Riley has always been very methodical in his choices and actions, especially when it comes to his families safety. I really hope that Riley and Alayna and Rapido form a great partnership out of this and it becomes profitable for both. I don't think that Rapido could find better ambassadors for their product.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Trimarans are generally the most stable and therefore safest boat form. They are even more stable than catamarans, which are more stable than monohulls. It's also much harder to sink any multihull than monohull for various reasons.

I don't think Elayna is going to like the trimaran when it comes to having a nanny like on La Vagabond. Going down to just 2 cabins from 3 and having 5-6-7 people on board .

I wonder what the child support laws are in Australia ? Bet Elayna knows ! As far as family safety I call BS !

Anonymous No comparison at all! This thing is full carbon-fiber,while a TS5 is fiberglass.And the immense weight savings achieved on TS5 are due to its hulls being incredibly thin,almost transparent. And its a cat! And although I like cats,the tri is what dreams are made of ;)

[@angela1984a]

Doesn't wear and tear depend on what kind of loads it is going to be subjected to? This is a very light boat. Doesn't light weight reduce wear and tear? And compared to many (if not all) cats - doesn't a tri like this have several aspects that also reduce wear and tear?

[@angela1984a]

Because they are a lot lighter as stability is provided by those "wings" and thus a heavy (around 40% of the weight of a mono hull) keel is not necessary . Displacing a lot less water means they have a lot less friction . Also , they have very fine hulls that are not subjected to max hull speed

Keep the same beam but increase length by 50%, add a third set of cross-arms. Add another mast to use the extra length, or put in wind turbines, add solar panel all possible surfaces for the battery packs, for 2x electric motors. Preferably all of those. Shorten the masts by a third but junk-rig the sails, because more zoom less top-heel. Real deck between the arms (so 4), bunk/desk/head in each, so more public space in main hull. Waterline access on back of outriggers like main hull has, 'cause more fishing. Then, if it doesn't tear itself apart from all that force, it should still go like a bat outta hell and be totally livable and stable with room to spare, and get where it wants regardless of wind, and still draw almost nothing compared to similar living-space monohull yachts. I think people lose some of the overall trimaran advantage by making the waterline proportionally too short, and on big ones they don't make good use of those gaps.

animist channel I think Neel are working towards your goal with their 65. These are a different beastie though.

[@animistchannel2983]

@@stevebellamy8901 Thanks, yah, too bad Neel seems to have no clue how to lay out a trimaran. The family on "SailOceans" channel did a total remodel of a 50-footer to suit their live-on/cruising-family lifestyle, and that seems effective. I think I'll just have to design my own "stretch" tri-hull and see if I can get it made in some scale or other. I keep changing my mind on how many other people I think I can tolerate on a daily basis, so that may determine the final size :)

[@stevebellamy8901]

animist channel yes, the SailOceans tri is a pretty useful layout. A bit like the Neel 45, but more practical, especially the galley. Best of luck fulfilling your dreams.

If they take that Rapido 60 for anything else than earning the money for promoting it, I will be shocked - unless they get it so modified that you may not believe t is a Rapido 60

I just returned from Costa Rica after delivering the trimaran Avalanche ( Chris Withe 54 Hammerhead ) to Culebra Bay. We Had 5 seconds 4 meter seas with 27 knots of wind at 60 degrees apparent on May the 12th off the Nicaraguan coast, the famous papagyo winds. 11 knots and hardly any pounding with one reef and a staysail Yeah...like a hot knife through butter. I have never sailed and will probably never sail anything so incredibly solid and confidence inspiring . Downwind off Mazatlan we had 23 knots at 180 with a tri-radial only: 14 knots average for 11 hours.Top speed 17 knots at the bottom of the trough. No more monos or cats for me.

That's one way of looking at it, although on a bicycle the training wheels slow you down, in contrast this trimaran is billed as the fastest multihull under production.

Water world

[@khadijagwen]

Let me remind you that: velocity in knots = 1.35 x the square root of the waterline length in feet. So the theoretical speed limit for a 53 foot boat is 10.8 Kts. Any time it moves faster than that, means it is plaining. Is that safe for a family? What about the danger of pitch poling? Perhaps that can be avoided by "under rigging" the boat? Reily is very skilled, but with inexperienced folk that can get on the helm, who knows what will happen.

[@gerritgovaerts8443]

Hull speed becomes totally irrelevant when the hull lenght to beam ratio becomes greater than 10 . At that point wave drag (the source of max hull speed) falls of a cliff , at 12 wave drag is mostly eliminated and disappears completely at 20 . So no , if you have very fine hulls (under the waterline) , you don't have to worry about max hull speed and you do't need to plane .

[@dieseldog00]

The music alone made me stay till the end but I've been a fan of trimarans ever since I owned a 24' raceboat with a 700hp Ford engine than ran over 90mph. It turned almost as sharp as a Formula 1 car. I've never sailed on a sailboat but this boat's performance and spacious interior won me over. Now I need to hit the lottery...

[@TheCatamaranCompany]

Thank you for sharing those memories. Sounds very exciting.

[@dieseldog00]

Well it was an exciting boat as long as the water was less than 12" high. Any wave action much higher and the hull would just beat the crap out of me. The reason is the designer/builder made the bottom totally flat from the waterline all the way back to the transom(which I found out much later after talking to the seller). I kept a weather eye out on the local wkend wind advisories...
