Did Riley and Elayna Get the Wrong Boat?!?!?

I love multihulls, and I love Sailing La Vagabonde, so I was probably just as excited as Riley when he announced they were getting a Rapido 60 trimaran, and just recently launched it in Viet Nam. But I'm also just a bit concerned they've bitten off more than they can chew, as I'll explain in this video. Their last boat was an Outremer 45 Catamaran, which they sailed across the Atlantic several times, including once with Greta Thundberg. This was a great boat for Riley and Elayna, and introduced them and their huge audience to the wonderful world of multihull sailing. Through the years Riley has had the opportunity to sail on some great performance multihulls, which opened his eyes to the exceptional speeds they can achieve, so I wasn't at all surprised that their next boat would be a Rapido 60. They just launched the Rapido and did a 600NM shakedown sail with the President of Rapido and a few other skilled crew. They encountered some of the expected teething problems with a new boat, like engine and electrical issues, but there were also some things that leave me concerned that this might be too much boat for them.
