A design well ahead of her time, the Riptide 55 incorporates many features only on more recent designs, both racing and cruising oriented - hard chines and twin rudders, water ballast, dinghy garage, integral bowsprit and anchor roller and a carbon mast with swept spreaders and no permanent backstay. It should be stressed that while \u003cem\u003eRocket Science \u003c\/em\u003eis very quick, she was conceived with fast cruising in safety and comfort in mind. Constructed from the lightest and strongest materials, she was engineered and constructed to be as strong as the stoutest cruising boat, using ABS slamming standards for high-speed military\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003ecraft and Det Norske Veritas standards for high-speed offshore craft. In contrast to other lightweight boats of this type, her design features significant deadrise in a V-shape forward of the keel. First and foremost, these deep sections provide more a more comfortable motion, particularly when sailing to weather. And the end result has\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003enot turned away from cruising comfort: a hard dodger, good accommodations, places to\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003egather or curl up and read a good book, a great seagoing galley and plenty of\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003estorage space above and below decks for all the necessities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver her lifetime, \u003cem\u003eRocket Science \u003c\/em\u003ehas proven to be a capable cruising platform for her owners, most recently a couple who have logged over 20,000 miles aboard. They report easy 220 mile days reaching in 10 knots of breeze under working sails. Lightweight and easily driven, there is no need for white knuckle sailing to make good miles, just main and jib alone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swiftsure Yachts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47757961953443,"sku":null,"price":325000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/6271\/5299\/files\/DSCN0627-scaled.jpg?v=1781021649","url":"https:\/\/swiftsureyachts.com\/products\/bieker-riptide-55-rocket-science","provider":"Swiftsure Yachts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
