RAPIDO 60 TRIMARAN, WORLDS FASTEST CRUISING MULTIHULL
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 12. 2016
- 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. - Auta a dopravní prostředky

Here ‘cause La Vaga sent me.
Who’s here after Riley’s outstanding and exquisite drumming skills? #lavagabonde
Me lol! I'm so happy for them. That's a fast boat!
i got here after the rapido website kept giving me 404s - piece of crap.
I’m here so I can see the interior lololol
I think they're making a mistake with two kids. Not enough room Elena's going to go insane and maybe divorce him! Just kidding but it's a real downsize Riley's obsessed with the speed
@@CessnaPilot99 I think the same. It may be important to reduce trip length, but a family of 4 would be much better off in a 60-70' cat
987th time I’ve watched this.
That music!!!! Very fitting.
This just showed up in my suggested videos and I swear I shall not leave this world till I own one of these amazing yachts.
Sailing La Vagabond brought me here ❤
SLV has sent me here.
Beautiful 😍 Boat!
this is probably one of the best video productions for a yacht that I have ever seen!! No more humble excuses of the quality, you did GREAT!!!!
Really? I never got a clear impression of the interior space nor the deck working space. But boy, I sure got to see what that boat looks like to others as it sails/motors/speeds past with some clips being replayed nearly a dozen times.
@@oceandrew you just don't get it! this is a promotional video not a tour of the boat. the purpose of the video was to draw you in so you would do an investigation on your own. they have put out videos specifically dealing with each aspect of the boat. rigging, interior, engine room, galley etc. do diligence my friend. she is a beautiful boat. thanks for the reply
@@careylogan7639 It's a terrible video when the viewer can recognize the same clips used over and over again. Cheap tricks only cover incompetence/lack of talent or skill. But you're allowed to love it. All I'm saying is that I hated it Vive la difference.
@@oceandrew Viva la difference. :o)
I think I caught a piano keyboard in there somewhere, but ya, they've been deliberately understated with the interior. They have to save some mystery for the viewing, to close it on an exciting, "better-than-I-thought-it-would-be" high note.
Genius...!
Beautiful trimaran sailboat.
Nice I like it, I wish I could that one.
huge amount of boat and power for a tiny living space.
You can't watch this without seeing Riley drumming on pots in your head.
What a lovely boat, and a performance champ....... But I cannot believe this is what SLV chose as their next boat. For a family of 4 now with crew on top of that this boat is a big step backwards in live-ability for someone who will be on this boat 24/7/365. I get that this is a trimaran....... but its not. It's a mono-hull with outriggers. Life is about to get a lot more cramped. This is like having a Corvette as a family vehicle.
I don't think Elayna and the kids will be on this boat very long . She mentioned her share of the channel profits in the past and she can't live without a nanny on the boat . Not much of a mom IMHO.
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.
@@id10tcertified I totally agree ... could be my own words
This is factual demonstration here👍💯😎❤️💝
I love the music. Reminds me of, "The Hunt for Red October".
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!
It does need a rethink .... For serious life on the water sailing ... Bare foot Doctors make the point that Thousands of sun loving Ozzie's get skin cancers every year and a lot are young.. at very least you will end up with chunks being carved out your head face and body... at worst it goes stage goes system wide and its game over.
The other problem is standing long watches in bad conditions and ending up cold and exhausted and making mistakes ..ask a touring motorcyclist.
Anything that green has to be a Kawi...lolol
@@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665 just stick on the auto helm and stay in the shade
@@mrsteamhorn
True but a lot of sailing families like to spend time on deck and or at the helm.
The problem is the Cancer nodes tend to start popping up in your 40s to 50s.. theres another Chanel thats just got this unwelcome piece of news.
The lady on the top of her 👃🏼 precancerous 🤞🏼 but it tends to
Pop up on old high damage points..even from childhood damage.
@@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665 Elayna is already having problems with the sun now.
She has to go and have top layer of skin removed with a laser every few months do remove the dark spots.
I wanna build a 25ft trimaran , but still.... just seeing this thing gliding along is way inspirational :)
60 has gotta be palatial, and wow she's sleek
use 3 small jet drives
Would have to watch out for those pesky "smoker's" while out looking for dry land on this thing..... :)
All for just over a million £ brilliant:)
this boat is one for smokers. it has engine. My trimaran has solar power, much better.
@@seandepagnier I hope you also have a solar powered water maker. Just in case you get stuck in the ITCZ for a 2 weeks with a crew of four. Just saying...
@@fernandosousa4657 been through the ITCZ 4 times. high performance boats rarely go below 4 knots there, and being "stuck" for more than a few days is unheard of, even on slower boats, because of modern windward performance can escape much easier than sailing ships could.
It is also completely irrelevant, because if you cross the ITCZ it rains so much you would never need a watermaker as I sailed more than 4000 miles leaving with only one 5 gallon container arrived with 10 gallons of water.
@@fernandosousa4657 Modern solar cells and enough Lithium batteries should be easy to power a watermaker.
Damn he built it? That's amazing
Reminds me of Kevin Costner's Trimaran in Water World! I AM WAITING FOR THAT KICKASS KITE TO BE DEPLOYED AT ANY MOMENT!
hahahah... it would be a good one!
It’s in Australia and for sale near Ballina, it’s got next to no room in the main hull, it’s been painted white just it has the tatty looking sail and none of the bs quirks but they’re calling it a movie boat and asking stupid money (it’s a Jeanneau) it’s worth maybe half the asking price, if that.
Design like fishing boat in the Philippines. Nice.
Good observation. Trimarans originated from the traditional double-outrigger hulls of the Austronesian cultures of Maritime Southeast Asia; particularly in the Philippines and Eastern Indonesia, where it remains the dominant hull design of traditional fishing boats.
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.
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 think she'll move on land with the kids and Riley can sail with a couple of buddies ! She keeps talking about her share of the channel profits ! I wonder what the child support laws are in Australia ? Bet Elayna knows ! As far as family safety I call BS ! Taking Greta the climate freek across the North Atlantic in winter from the USA to Spain was dumb ! The boat got banged up and the storm could have caused them to lose the boat ! Who would take a baby on a trip like that ? Dumb IMHO !
I am not sure Riley and Alayna will finish that deal - that helm and cocpit is not suiteable for a Family criss crossing oceans
@@zzzxxzzz3248 EVERYTHING Greta said about the Climate back in those days was 100% backed by the best Climate Scientists on this Planet.
My friend Ernie and i own a Dragonfly 800 swing wing and trust me they are a exciting boat's ⛵to sail with a maximum speed of 25 knots it's very excileratin every sailor should tru one
yes power b9smat speed
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
Nice video :-) Really impressive considering the equipment you described using...
Amazing 🤩 One Day ,When I hit loto and Sell all that Silver ,I have.
yes... yes please!
this is my dream boat
Here before the wave of SLV fans
Nope
sure about that ?
And former SLV fans. I wonder if long-term fans of the show will now say, nah, it's not for me anymore.
@@nooneanybodyknows7912 Good for you. I have to say with this choice I don't really care if it works out for them. I cheer for underdogs. They are no longer underdogs. After watching regularly for seven years or almost that I'll peek in once in a while but I'll move on to sailors who are doing their own maintenance with few resources.
@@lawrencegleason4666 Thought about that.....then thought to myself that's a bit naff. Been with SLV the whole journey and this is just a part of that so will remain thank you very much 😊
Doesn't look like the same space as a cat but then never sailed one so here's looking to the future.
TC and good sailing ⛵
It sure is a dream boat!
Altough I would never be able to afford one,comparing the price against the “performance” oriented catamarans is not too high,would dare to say even bargain when I see what is selling for 2mil these days.
Second tough,its high performance would most certainly increase wear and tear and suspect that will be nightmare for maintenance and upkeep.
You get a ts5 for also round about 1mil pounds
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 ;)
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?
Or like this: As I understand it - the ability to very quickly turn loads from wind into speed REDUCES the loads caused by the wind and therefore also reduces wear and tear. And only race-boats can accelerate faster than light displacement trimarans like this one...
Love it. When will you post something with some higher winds and large seas?
As I understand it - with todays weather forecasting systems - this boat is actually fast enough to enable you to avoid large seas...
@@angela1984a Running away from high wind yes, but avoiding large seas always - nope - unless you only want this boat for regatas and showing of in the harbours.
With the exposed helm I would like to see it in rough sea situations too ;-)
@@geobopeter So what kind of seas are you talking about here?
Check out Dragonfly trimarans CZcams-page. They have a video with their Dragonfly 40 in some higher winds and larger seas off the coast of Denmark. And the water was pretty cold to boot...
@@angela1984a yes that is actually what I mean - why is Rapido 60's always shown in comfortable and sunny tour weather?
I am from Denmark and I know the weather here - and it is not even the worst you can get in scandinavia and around in the northern atlantic ... and southern Atlantic.
What annoys me is that Rapido never, with one or two exceptions, shows how their boat are performing and how comfortable, or maybe not, they are in a little rough weather - weather that you undoubtly will experience when you circumnavigate.
Watching due to Riley as well
Magnificent..the interior is super
Glad you like it. Thank you for watching our videos.
its like a wooden pump boat here in the phil
what a time to be alive!
Lol not for most ppl it's not 🤣
beautiful, high quality build, fast AND ludicrously expensive, given the amount of work to build one, not surprising.
Not that more expensive when stacked up against a comparable monohull or cat...
How many shots can we have of them opening the same storage compartment.
So true aha
How many times has Riley watched this video?
I would have been a large % of pre 100k views but dropping now.
Классный!!!
Well this came up on my feed as I subscribe to Sailing La Vagabonde on YT and I am currently watching those guys mid build on Vaga III which is a Rapido 😊
Man.... I wish I was rich....
Ok rich dudes, start buying these things up so I can get one second hand!
Ill take it off your hands when your done with er :-)
Looks nice by any chance have you had the deck boards replaced I like I said I'm looking for something that can be modified to fly having the hulls on the water is not where it's at let me know
Hi John. This video was made by the boat manufacturer some time ago, so we couldn't really tell. Feel free to reach our sales line, so you can get in touch with one of our experienced brokers. (954) 449-4611 or yachtsales@catamarans.com
La Vagabond sent me. I hope you all are giving them a great deal
I believe the price starts at around one and a half million dollars and can go up from there.
Water world vibes
La Vagabounde just bought the 60 footer
I really like the raised pilot position. Is there a way to enclose it? Not always good weather.
That raised helm station is one of the turn-offs for me. Too far away form the moment arm fulcrum in heavy seas. For nearly 2 mil I want something with a little more weather protection without compromising the aesthetics. I would, for my dime, make this a center cockpit boat with a layout similar to the Hammerhead 54 ( a 30+year old design by Chris White, btw). With a little more creativity and imagination I think a CC arrangement can be beautifully integrated on the Rapido 60. Just a thought.
I'm sure there's a way for some $$$...
@@fernandosousa4657 I absolutly agree
I've never been one to be skittish about cruiser safety, especially when other people's children are involved, but who in their right mind would buy such an open deck platform with two, not just one, toddlers on board?
I would agree ... too much plastic too
That 38’ beam with tramps with smoother motion vs the cat (because those narrow hills will slice through the seas like a hot knife through butter) and much flatter sailing vs a mono makes for a much safer platform for kids and adults.
Anyone falling off the boat at 28 knots is going to be lost to sight very quickly.
@@Multiman40 Yup.
The cockpit is massive and enclosed on this sailing boat, and no way more exposed than the majority of vessels,maybe you should look at the specs again. Most sailors with children put up netting to stop the children from falling overboard. czcams.com/video/rZ-AKVSSCKE/video.html
1:11 and onward...
Who was in that old skit? Christopher Walken?
"More kettle drums!"
So we actually had to look that one up. You probably refer to a SNL sketch and if we are thinking of the same one, it's "needs more cowbell". Thank you for the reference and for watching the video.
yeah this sucks...but maybe a production model. not a single data or reference point to actually see how this contraption "which can go faster than the wind because it has an engine!" in fact performs. can i trailer it? no. can i dock it? no. can i anchor it? no. can i even stop it? no to that as well! but what a wreck you shall leave, fine sir!..
@@georgedoolittle7574 it can not go faster then the wind because it has an engine, it can do it using the sails for propulsion as many other fast boats as it uses the apparent wind, the result of the boat speed and the real wind combined, to achieve speed higher then the one of the real wind. Further on you can not trailer a single 60 ft long boat, does not matter if it is mono or multi hull, and you surely can dock and anchor it. If you don't have any clue of the matter you are commenting it is probably better to refrain at all to comment. Best regards.
@@georgedoolittle7574 idiot
It’s more Cow Bell!
La vagabonde🙌
Fantastic boat and video but... at 2:18 it's written "AMERCIA'S CUP" instead of "AMERICA'S CUP". But it's the imperfection that makes this video perfect 😁
Its nice but how much on the price tag?
SLV fan. More details please
⛵️ ~ Question: why are trimarans supposedly faster than a similar monohull? Wouldn’t the extra wings make it have more friction and be slower?
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
wow i want a 100 footer
Can we have C foils as options???
An full carbon??
Furling mast?
Change the wheel house thing??
👍👍🙏🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧
Does it come without that noice?
I guess they are going to a marina and praying there is a huge slip open because it look like they have any way to get to shore if at anchor. I'd like to see one set up for cruising.
Yeah me too -I would also see how they would make the helm and cocpit suitable for cruising
I am still looking for the price range ..... and p/u in Vietnam.
Heavy seas must be a hoot….
Can I get it with solar panels for electricity?
Rapido stands for breaks frequently. LOL
This is the kind of purchase that leads to Divorce. Riley Riley Riley. What have you done ...
What makes you think that?
@@xoxoaysh 30 years of marriage ...
@@xoxoaysh For God's sake. A million reasons.
That is an honest question.
Riley and a few buddies are sailing this while Elayna stays on land with a nanny for the kids while she edits videos of the Riley adventures !
I own my house outright as well as an F9 Farrier, two cars (one a Jaguar) and a Harley, if I sold the lot I may just be able to afford the 40’er and no way is that worth it but in saying that if by selling everything I could have a 60’er set up exactly how I want I’d do it but at 67 years old unfortunately I just plain don’t have the time... btw, the 40’er is $800,000 AUD and that’s very basic, if you spend another $50k you’re still not there: the 60’ers are twice that sniffle.
Morelli and Melvin…. What have they ever designed…….? 🤣
We'll,what do you want, to go cruising comfortably, or race..? 🤔
Looks like the pretty lady got bored and went to read a book at about the 2min mark.
I'm interested.
Please reply where I can see one.
It's a monohull with training wheels. Cool fast boat but horrible for live aboards.
Really? I always thought monohulls gave more living space compared to cats. Tris split the difference. What about tris make them bad for live aboards?
Made in Vietnam, just like Nike's .
Don’t forget the electric jet ski will cost $35k additional.
Okay, pro-race design, but I'm watching the math swirl as it goes, and I know it's already optimized for its layout, but I wanna...
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.
@@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 :)
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.
Take your hand off it, you will go blind.
And doing this would only add................$$$$'s?
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...
Thank you for sharing those memories. Sounds very exciting.
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...

No mention of marina fees or haulout fees, both of which are astronomical...😢
Bugger all when your a rich CZcamsr hahahhahah* Lavagabond )
If you can find a berth. I just sailed the Avalanche ( 54 ft Chris White Hammerhead 54 ) from San Diego to Costa Rica.Good luck even making the dock master understand that your boat has a 32 ft beam. Double slips most places we docked...during pandemic times. Yeah. Make sure your Dubai First Royale credit card is handy.
Anyone who needs a marina with this boat should go home.
Nice, but why the split second images?
Annoys me too.
A trimaran is basically a “banca” in the Philippines where this is very common, and bancas are known to capsize. Has this tri ever been tested in really nasty weather?
With this boat, you should never encounter bad weather. With a little weather planning she can run away from any stormy conditions.
Кому продать яйцо, а то денег не хватает на эту красотку!!
So how far? Engine? refrigeration? washer dryer? water maker? or is this just a day cruiser?
It's equipped with a Yanmar Diesel 53 HP, 126 Gal Fuel Tank, 34 Gal Vitrifrigo 2 drawer fridge/freezer. Watermaker and other features are available as options. Please contact us at yachtsales@catamarans.com for any other questions and pricing.
It can also be had with a fully electric drivetrain.
Interesting concept but I am underwhelmed by the interiors. Could have done a LOT better - hope SLV will get an upgrade before practically spending their life in that nutshell.
I doubt they are paying even close to the normal price. rapido probably gives them cost or less for all the exposure slv gives them
@@cheekychop7083 If I owned a Brand like SLV and was asked to accept to live with my family isn a Rapido 60 for 2 or 3 years - I would expect to have it for free in that time (delivering et back of course) and even get paid to do it - it is simply not suitable for a family cruiser.
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
Mmmmm I think a Gunboat will give this thing a run for its money
I'm selling everything and buying one.

How fast is this and how many nm can it do in a day?
Can cruise at 25knots, so 600nm in the right conditions
@@cesc1495 With a couple and two toddlers? I wold love to see that. Anything over 12 knots SOG on any boat will require a little more than the attention span of a three year old. Just a thought
@@fernandosousa4657 true, but he just asked how fast a Rapido tri is. Pro sailors would be able to reach 600nm in such a boat
@@cesc1495 Point well taken. However the Phaedo III - a MOD 70- took a crew of 7 to maintain an average of 22.3 knots on their(unofficial) record breaking Trans-Pac passage. I was at the Waikiki Yacht club at 5:30 in the morning when they arrived. Mighty Merloe -an ORMA 60 surpassed that record a few weeks later, I believe. The Rapido is no MOD 70 and I highly doubt it can take that kind of punishment. 600 NM is a long way to cover in 24h. Don't get me wrong, I love the boat, with a few caveats. But 25 knots average over 24H??... hey, I could be wrong. Sail far, live free.

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.

They're just walls on either side of the deck, one of the worst things I can imagine for going upwind. I'm sure there must be a reason, but OMG, what is it???
Kinda defeats the purpose, right? Is like having a Jordan drogue permanently attached. First thing I'd do would be to plug that giant scoop with some sort of lexan sheet.
Your right Dude...
It's STUPID ........
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.
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 .
No need for fuel?
If that is true why is there no world records under their belt?
Because it's a cruiser.
@@tyroneforsyth1680 with a statement like that?
Saying it's the fastest is sales hype .
Vagabond couple has this one ordered.
I want to see how this boat moves in something other than flat water.
type something like "trimaran ultim in rough seas" you'll get a preview
@@julespivet9996 its a south east asian boat that made to look better its been used in history by south pacific islanders in all over the southern ocean specially by filipino fishermen
Those ama's (and center hull) will slice through the seas like a hot knife through butter. Way waaaay more efficient than the cat with no bridgedeck pounding.
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. I am hooked. czcams.com/video/yCPeI8WEuxo/video.html
@@fernandosousa4657 That Chris White Hammerhead is a beautiful boat. I would give almost anything to sail on her like you did.
if others could circumnavigate the earth...
This should be halfway to the moon
OR SHOULD I SAY HALF WAY AROUND THE MOON 🌙
Needs more interior wood details like African Mahogany to warm it up some .
This one is not Rapido 60, it's Rapido 50
