Our Beautiful Boat Home (FULL BOAT TOUR)

[@sweettony9359]

Great video! I have some advice that can pay dividends in the future. I see that you have inflatable life straps on the boys and that is cool. My advice is that in a safe environment, like at the beach, have them jump overboard and try them. Yes, you need to replace the CO2 cartridge's after but it gives the boys a sense of how they work, how it's like to swim with them inflated, and how everything will be fine when they inflate. I spend alot of time in canoes. When my two boys were quite young we took them out in the canoe and, in about 10 feet of water, practiced flipping the canoe. They had a blast, learned the canoe wont actually sink, and could experience what it was like to have a canoe flip on them. Safe practice leads to less panic during a real emergency.

[@davidlaw1047]

I appreciate that you guys like it. Not a family friendly cruising craft, but I can appreciate seeing a dream come to fruition. Enjoy

That green on your copper fittings is called verdigris. It is a toxic substance that forms when copper oxidises. Can cause irritation to skin and eyes, nausea and anemia if ingested. Can cause organ damage after long or repeated exposure.

[@reeces3707]

Was looking for this comment, they say it so casually “is it poisonous”. Technically yes and with Lenny’s issues I’d be careful.

[@multitablez7825]

it's not toxic. it may give a bit of extra copper in their water supply, but its not harmful in anyway.

[@fjt99]

@@multitablez7825 Except it is. Copper(II)-acetate/ Verdigris/ Greenspan. Copper itself is not the issue

[@anguru5809]

It's actually not though, a 2-minute check on wiki says that the pigment "verdigris" and the greenish color that forms when cooper oxydizes are not the same thing. Only the pigment is toxic.

[@AVABROOKEE]

The interior of the boat looks simultaneously totally bonkers and extremely homely and familiar without ever having seen anything like it. Fantastic. Also can't wait to see you sailing along stunning coastlines again, it seems like forever since those kinds of episodes, I reckon a lot of us will feel that breath of fresh air slap us in the face through the screen. Happy New Year, dudes, stay safe 💙

Boat looks great. I love the dark aesthetic. Also you can just put a white piece of paper behind the glass of the wooden frame and you can write on the glass for your “whiteboard”.

[@johnair1]

Those racing dark green cabinets with the warmth of the natural exposed wood and the comfy inviting leather couches just make one hell of a good looking and comfy living area. Love it!

[@SentFromMyiPwn]

I can imagine that when you’re out at sea for long periods, with the landscape looking the same for days on end - having a detailed interior like that would feel grounding and be more interesting to look at. As someone with eyes as light as Riley’s, I know that light sensitivity can become an issue too and it’s always such a relief to get under some shade or have a bit or darkness to relax your eyes.

[@crarls27]

That's such a good point!

[@Muppet-kz2nc]

Every boat ive been on has a homogenous design that looks like it was built with a lot of traditional habits. Its cool how unique your boat is. Very bohemian. Reminds me of a beach bungalow.

[@teedub1990]

I was born in 1972. The pink tile in the bathroom is fully authentic IMHO. My mother still has it. Every time I visit, I want it for myself. That was one aspect of the 70's that never got old for me: awesome bathroom tile.

[@telfer3388]

About the induction kichen - The thing about inuction noise is that it does not come from the stove istelf. The Pot is what makes the noise. The better conductivity of the pot (less energy los during transfer from the stove to the pot) The les noise the pot will make and will be more efficient. In homes people usually dont care that much about efficiency but in your case you could probably save a little power buy buying the best possible pots for the stove.

[@brookeboese5446]

People will always have their opinions and don’t stop to think that you make decisions best for YOUR family and have surely considered the future in said decisions. You and rapido did an incredible job. Excited to watch all the future adventures with the new boat!! Epic you guys, thanks for sharing.

[@rchristie5401]

Its nice to see a boats interior that reflects the owners quirky tastes. I love whay you two have dont with the interior. The vessle is awesome. I bet its like a "fast as it can go ride" mechanical bull ride in widy conditions. Not for the faint of heart. Fearless comes to mind.

[@sisyphus883]

I dropped off for a while for personal reasons. Then, on a trip to Florida to visit my niece. Turns out she loves your channel. Now I'm back & I'm blown away by the new boat & all the amazing color combinations. You absolutely killed it. As an older gentleman, for advice I'd say, start designing a bigger one now. Boys grow way too fast. I'm glad to see you guys again. ✌️

Perhaps they'll consider getting a fixed place somewhere anyways and then do trips from there once the children are older :-).

We had an induction hob when we replaced our kitchen over 20 years ago. This year we were getting a completely new kitchen but the induction hob was still going strong and looks exactly like any new one we could have bought so we kept it! It still looks and works like new. Good choice. 💙👍🏻

[@davidbullock8077]

I love the time warp snap! The irony is hysterical! Your new home is gorgeous, a little more busy than I expected for Riley’s minimalist nature. The copper accents and trims can become toxic as the patina grows. Verdigras is the term that refers to this evolution, and some of the toxins that can result from it. Wishing your family all the best, and looking forward to seeing your adventures!

The way Riley laughs when the boys are cute is so loving. It makes me feel good too.

Such an incredibly beautiful boat- just when I get done drooling over the outside, I go inside and lose my mind over the interior. Truly blown away with the colors, the furnishings, the materials.... Just top notch choices all the way. The inside feels like a home, which is perfect. And yet is a fully modern carbon fiber boat with all the best equipment and technology. Just astonishing. Enjoy!

[@martinsoka17]

Interior designer here! I’m loving that you weren’t afraid to add your own personal style to what is essentially your home. I think sailing is so steeped in tradition that sometimes design stagnates or is variations on the same theme. You both have never shied away from being different and it makes me happy to see that in the design of your boat 🎉

[@mitchellholliday9023]

I absolutely love the boat. Just to let you know that the greening on the copper ( copper oxide ) is dangerous when ingested as it is TOXIC. It's just something to keep in mind as you live with this amazing boat. Keep up with the great videos

I’m so incredibly excited to have you guys taking us on new adventures in your gorgeous home. I have been severely missing seeing Elayna diving, Lenny swimming in the deep blue, and Riley fishing and spearing. I’m so excited to see how Darwin begins to explore alongside you all. I was wondering during this tour if we would go over the outer hulls (I’m not sure if that’s what they’re called, I’m not a boat person, I’m just here for the adventure especially while parenting) but as I know you guys usually have crew plus a nanny on board I was curious if the plan was still having those mini bedrooms for extra guests and crew. Nonetheless, I am so in love with all of the features of the boat and while it was exciting being brought along for the build I am STOKED for the adventures you all will get up to now being finally home.

Hi folks. Your new boat looks like a lot of fun, and I don't want to tell you how to think or how to live your life, and I don't know if you will even see this, but I wanted to say that when you called that boat unsinkable it made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. If something happens to you all this will definitely be analyzed as a preindicator. This boat is high-performance bordering on a racing yacht. It clearly has a much smaller margin for error than others you are used to, and you reached the limits of that margin during your shakedown sail. I'm just trying to be a good dude and point this out to you if you aren't aware of it already.

[@Orson2u]

How exciting and entrancing. You’ve chosen an earthy interior, combined with rusticated elegance, with dashes of retro sensibility. Tonally, the opposite of the total white world inside your old catamaran. Love it!

[@dirkharvey]

That exposed helm with no seat seems odd. I know you're not planning on it, but if the auto pilot went out and you were forced to be back there at night in rough waters I imagine it would be very hard to stand back there and not get washed off your feet? Standing in place for hours on end on flat stationary ground is difficult enough. Thoughts on that?

[@jamesfagan69]

What a lovely boat. But I must admit it does seem odd the kids don't have a room. The living room seams so much bigger on a kat as well, some strange choices but only my opinion. I guess he's gone for speed over space. Wouldn't have been my choice but cool boat nonetheless

[@jimmarshall5453]

Very nice. I wish you had gone the route of an electric powered dingy. Rick Moore loves his and the lack of noise is a game changer. I guess with the lack of a dodger you aren't expecting much rough/wet weather sailing. I love the boat and your family in it.

[@kalemanzi]

Guys, thanks for the tour! Riley, your last comment at the end of the video... sailing faster than wind speed. My eyes got all watery. The holy grail. I'm also stoked to hear that the boat is so comfortable in strong winds with the auto pilot. Have a safe and fantastic 2024.

[@jonfisher9214]

The green that forms on your copper fittings is copper carbonate. It's not harmful if left undisturbed. Unlike rust on iron it won't flake off. It will form a coating that prevents further oxidation. If you were to scrape or sand it off the dust could present various hazards though. Copper carbonate dust is harmful (but not toxic) if inhaled or ingested. It's also a serious eye irritant. Copper is also very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. I should add I'm a UK based technician working with various harmful metal oxides so please bear in mind the material may be be classed differently in other countries

When you want to touch your woodwork -- it's been done right. (When has anyone ever wanted to rub their Ikea stuff?) Green makes us think of arsenic. (People used to like rich green wallpaper because there'd be no mosquitos and flies in that room. The walls were killing them.) On your copper pipes that green is just copper oxide. Copper and oxygen. When they redid the copper roof of the Griffith's Observatory in Los Angeles, it turned black. They had to clean it and use acid and flame. When I lived in Montreal they redid the copper on Eglise Notre Dame across the street from my studio, in 6 months it turned green. Better air quality.

Am I the only one that sees this? Im guessing its a perspective thing. Quite simply, she's VERY roomy and comfortable, in contrast to how big she looks on the outside in the water. 2) Lennie's Lens is a big hit for me! I really enjoyed it a lot. And I think its just the beginning of his future video/audio contributions regarding his life on La Vagabonde!

[@joecat101]

That is one sweet boat, and to be able to set it up the way you want is just icing on the cake.

[@EdwardTilley]

What are you going to suggest for couples thinking about buying this boat? The sail plan is too much (too big/too heavy/too strong/dangerous) for an experienced couple; let alone a less experienced couple or couple with youngsters. Even an experienced couple who are in top shape like yourself and Elaina, can't handle this sail plan without crew - as seen on shakedown. My hope is that the boatyard told you as much in advance. Unless you plan to sail with a crew forever, what plans are ahead to make this new boat manageable and safe? Your two videos sailing it tell me that these realities haven't sunk in 100%. Your boat is no "family performance catamaran alternative". It's a terrific "crewed racer", but your 60 is a "crewed racer" and you want to be transparent to explain as much - to keep viewers and yourselves safe. Great video - as ever!

[@lilygirl2719]

It will be a challenge in heavy weather for even experienced sailors. I think they are aware of that and are bringing on more crew to help. The weather can't be projected very far out sometimes and can sneak up on you. They might also be able to fly Alayna and their sons on really rough, long passages (and that would give more room for seasoned sailors)

[@EdwardTilley]

@@lilygirl2719 Adding crew means (a lot of) logistics - that wouldn't be necessary with a boat designed for a couple to manage. Crew get sick & sea sick also, they miss their flight, they get stuck in traffic, need a place to R&R, a bathroom, etc. Juggling that many balls is a stress even when it works, and that boat isn't set up for two or three full-time crew. It looks unnavigatable, which means there will come a time in the not too distant future when it becomes unsafe and a responsible captain steps in to forbid tragedy. Consider the Mayflower: In 1620, its Captain took over the ship for the first time from his father - and he killed half of his passengers and crew by making the mistake of starting again after a setback forced them to return to port. Passengers got to Plymouth in full winter (November 21st) with no safe harbour, so 45 passengers perished by this Captain's single wrong decision. That 60 is a hell of a sailboat no doubt, but it can only sail with crew and with all conditions needed for safe arrival. Shimmying up the rigging in heavy weather can be fatal, so plan to never do it again.

[@lilygirl2719]

@@EdwardTilley I agree. It is really too dangerous for anyone but seasoned sailors who know how to sail a racing sailboat.

[@gregorymatthies5297]

This is the comment of someone who is not an SVL mafia member. You’re 100% correct but you forgot to mention that someone has to look after 2 small children who can’t swim. This boat requires a crew of at least 1 more likely 2 and where are you going to sleep them it only has 2 cabins and putting people in the pods is not a viable solution by any means. A very poor choice as I see it for a family. Have suggested a HH55 or other similar boat would be a far better choice and almost as fast.

Such a great combination of performance and functionality. Lots of yrs racing and owning a “performance” boat. Its actually really interesting to see how most people shy away from “performance” boats out of some odd perception or fear they have. I can’t tell you how many times I took people out sailing and they say “oh wow this boat sails so easily its comfortable etc”. I really do think the term “performance” triggers a vision of grinding huge winch farms, getting green water across the deck and yelling helms persons😆😆. 12 meter Cup Racing type stuff lol. There’s nothing better than a finger light helm, sail plans that are easily trimmed for ideal performance etc. Thats a performance boat👍. I do like those Dinghy’s simple but well done.

[@tiethilo]

Riles, battery capacity is measured in (k)Wh, not (k)W, the latter unit being for the power a device produces or supplies *momentarily*. The addition of 'h' (hours) basically conveys for how long this power could be supplied (or produced), resulting in a measure for how much energy is stored in the batteries. Simplified, one could say Watts ist for 'strength', Watt hours for a storage amount. So your battery bank could supply 43.2 kW for one hour (or half that for two hours etc.) Loving every episode, amazing work!

Beautiful boat! The color choices are outstanding! I love how the outside of the boat is so sleek and modern, yet the inside is mixed with some rich color and retro vibes that give it a very homey feel :) Well done! Question about the water maker: do you also need a filter system to prevent pathogens in your water?

[@tbusch63]

The two filters you saw on the system should remove 99.99*** % of any pathogens. the water it makes should be comparable to what you drink out of your faucet, Maybe even better!

[@anysep3361]

@tbusch63 Thanks for the info :) I thought those housing containers looked like filters, but they didn't really explain it in detail. I actually have a drilled well with a water filter system of my own, so was curious about the difference with sea water regarding filter needs.

I think it's perfect, especially with the 2 little ones, plenty of room. My wife and I love the trampoline net thingies on each side. That gives so much room. It's perfect. As a subscriber from the very beginning, way before you jumped off the top when you reached 100k, I'm so happy to see how everything has turned out. I still have the sailing book you wrote. It's a treasured possession of mine. I still hope to one day see yall selling around the Caribbean. Good luck guys 👍

[@PhillipFreeman1]

Looking forward to seeing you get more comfortable and confident sailing this beast. Gunna be incredible!

I'm home sick today and I am excited to watch your boat tour! Your videos are such great quality that I like to watch them on the TV when I can so today it works out.

Not getting the long term thinking around the lack of dedicated space for the children, bedroom/s?

[@MizzAugust7]

Many people worry about things - too much. Adore the Copper turning, its safe. A labor of love - so very well done!!

[@Guide504]

The boat is fast with low volume and not a family live aboard. There is very little space, the out riggers are not available for living quarters and the central volume is low with a heavy chine further limiting volume. This is a very fun fast boy/girl play boat but expensive to bring keyside and not suitable for a family. If they love it and have managed to justify it then I wish them all the fun while it lasts, but with two growing boys who will soon need schools peer group interactions and options for life e.t.c. this maybe a fun blast for a year or so. Have fun it looks amazing!

Your comment is so true but expect to be belted by the SVL mafia they don’t like anyone saying anything negative. I know from past experience.

Riley you didnt mention it, a mainsheet load fuse would be a must have; if a strong gust manifests out of nowhere, it dumps the mainsheet immediately, (tris are very stable upside down)

I love your new boat and its design. I am enjoying your recent voyages in the South China sea and the Philipines, looking forward to so many more
