The RIP 8 was designed to showcase that wood boats can look modern and cool.  The hull is a modified JAM design with a deeper vee hull for more load carrying capacity.  It is built of 4 mm Meranti plywood, sheathed on the outside with 6 ounce S glass,  The interior joints are joined with a 4 inch 9 ounce S glass with carbon fiber every third “y” strand.  This cloth was not used for strength, rather to give the look of carbon fiber “knees” in the interior.  The RIP has asymmetric fore and aft decks and a wavy skeg – unique to boats by Synergy.
