I want to be able to go at a good pace safely. I mean itвЂ™s good fun to go fast but thatвЂ™s the least important on my list of things. IвЂ™m much more interested in average crossing times. Riley вЂ“ I want to be able to go at a good pace safely (But) even at that speed, it was just slightly heeling over. It was fast and I was worried it would really heel over. In fact I think it was 26.7 but just in case, I will say 25. (And) thatвЂ™s maintaining a speed not surfing down waves. During the test sail, I was at the helm with one hand on the helm and we were going at 25.7 knots! I think I got the top speed for the day!Дў5.7 knots вЂ“ thatвЂ™s extraordinarily fast. Elayna at the helm of Rapido 60, Romanza. вЂњWhen youвЂ™re standing in the saloon, youвЂ™re actually standing in a huge room.вЂќ) вЂњShe goes at lightning speedвЂќ. I jumped onboard ( Romanza), ran around and I was like, вЂњAhhhhhh!, this is perfectly fine!вЂќ (Later in video Riley describes the fore cabin as being вЂњmassiveвЂќ with a вЂњhugeвЂќ bed. The only thing I was worried about was the amount of space on board. I knew it was very well made because IвЂ™ve got a lot of respect for the boat builders. (When we went to New Zealand), I knew it was going to sail well. I know that the Rapido sails unbelievably well which is the main thrust behind all of our decision making. Riley вЂ“ Rapido offers sailing performance and space Riley and Elayna explain why they chose the Rapido 60 (comments from video above)Д«ut now, letвЂ™s hear from Riley and Elayna as to why and how the Rapido 60 met their criteria: Some photos from that trip are posted below.Д®ventually, falling out of Riley and ElaynaвЂ™s exhaustive selection process was a three-hulled 6oвЂ™ (18m) trimaran, the Rapido 60. Owners of Romanza Dougall and Jaz Love were there together with co founder of Rapido Trimarans, Paul Koch.

After a time, they upgraded to a twin-hulled vessel and, for the last 18-24 months, have been researching which boat would become the future of their sailing story, and proudly wear the title Sailing La Vagabonde III.ДЄs part of their exhaustive selection process, they travelled to New Zealand in December 2019 for a test sail aboard the Rapido 60, Romanza. They began documenting their evolving journey on You Tube back in 2014 with a single-hull vessel. Riley and ElaynaвЂ™s job is to sail the worldвЂ™s oceans and, each week, bring their adventures to our phones, desktops and iPads via You Tube. Additionally вЂ“ and literally вЂ“ joining the team will be their new-born, any day from now!
