SACS RIB’s are better known in the superyacht world as state-of-the-art support/chase tenders. Their recent Strider and Zetar models could be an excellent standalone weekend cruisers. The Strider 18, a signature SACS RIB model, has 50+ knots maximum speeds and Arneson Surface drives propulsion, this model has superb performance and stability. Though less common in the USA it is gaining popularity. After all RIB vessels are known for having a smoother ride and superior stability even at higher speeds. Modern RIB’s are safer, faster and more seaworthy. When built right they last longer, too, and are easier to maintain than their traditional hard-shelled Colleagues.
