It felt beyond comfortable.
Welcome Riley, Elayna, Lenny +1 to the Rapido family. It is so good to have you on board!

But now, let’s hear from Riley and Elayna as to why and how the Rapido 60 met their criteria: more

Formatting cock-ups litter the SLV guide and while these two pages are probably the worst examples, there are many others.
Having said that, at about page 40 the guide starts to revisit some topics that garnered little more than a paragraph earlier. Provisioning gets almost an entire page and health, safety and insurance get a look in, too. Specific aspects of sailing also get addressed with a paragraph of their own like night sailing and solo sailing. And there is some stuff about fishing along with a heartfelt plea to give freediving a go because it is awesome. [links]
There’s also an interesting page here about giving customs and immigration a miss in places or countries where it might eat into your “fun” time but that is advice that it is definitely up to the individual to take or ignore.
We then get a quick chat about reefing and anchors before we get the bombshell dropped on us that although Riley bought his boat and set off having never sailed before and knowing exactly nothing about sailing, looking back he DOES NOT recommend that others do it. Perhaps, he suggests, try sailing on other people’s boats first. Maybe join a crew to do some races and learn a bit more. This, to me, is the single small nugget of advice that the reader should grab hold of in this guide. Going sailing with other experienced sailors will teach you a shed-load more than reading a once-over-lightly guide like this one. [links]
But their reach is now ensuring they have the ear of the industry too, with the couple starting to leak plans of a new emission-free vessel, which will be sponsored by marine manufacturers.
One of Riley’s latest videos is more opinionated and advises people what to look for – and what to avoid – when buying a new catamaran. Just how much do these influencers want to influence?
She began documenting their budget cruising adventures for family and friends, including the myriad trials, challenges and plain scary moments of liveaboard sailing, before sharing the videos publicly. more
