Apart from several years in Alaska in the mid-1960's, RIPTIDE has been active on the Puget Sound since her launching in 1927. She's hosted three weddings, dozens of family cruises, and moonlight cruises beyond number. She is extremely fortunate to have been owned and maintained by sensitive and caring owners over her long and very active life. She has been repaired and upgraded since 2015 by the Port Townsend Shipwright's Co-Op, and most recently, Compass Boatworks of Port Townsend. Her paint and varnish is maintained by Salguero Marine Services and her owners. RIPTIDE is a great example of the boats produced in the Seattle area during the "Roaring Twenties" !
