The Riptide 30 is the latest addition to the Riptide designs. It carries forward the core principles of the Riptide philosophy, which include:
‍
1. A simple, gravity-fed water ballast system that makes the boat light and quick in downwind or light-air conditions, yet stable and powerful when sailing upwind or on a reach—all with a small crew.
‍
2. A high-performance hull form with rounded sections that minimize wetted surface area, delivering speed in both light breezes and stronger winds.

3. Carbon composite construction engineered for exceptional strength, stiffness, and reduced weight.

4. A balanced rig that is powerful without being oversized.

5. A light, practical interior designed for comfort during long offshore passages while still offering the efficiency needed for competitive racing—proving that a boat can excel in both roles.

6. The Riptide 30 also features an updated version of our proven retractable inboard propulsion system along with twin prepreg carbon rudders, further enhancing performance and reliability.
