News Release - Price Changes for 2007

The Resin Infused Rocket 22 - Major Price Reduction for 2007

An additional 15% off the New 2007 Price on any order before December 31st, 2006

Vancouver, B.C., November 9th, 2006 - Rocket Boats is pleased to announce that thanks to some key production changes and improved manufacturing efficiencies we are able to reduce the Rocket 22's price for 2007. Our old price of $39,950 will drop to a new price $34,950 effective January 1st, 2007. And as an extra bonus we will also take an additional 15% off the new 2007 price for any order received by December 31st, 2006.

Earlier this year Rocket Boats made two significant changes allowing us to make this price reduction. First, we moved into our own dedicated manufacturing facility where we now produce every aspect of the Rocket except for sails, trailer, electronics and spars, although we now do our own rigging in-house. This has reduced our cost structure, improved our production efficiencies and importantly, given us much better quality control.

The second change we made was in the production process itself. We are now producing the Rocket using vacuum bagged vinylester resin infusion rather than hand lay up. This has greatly improved the GRP production process with both time and materials savings. The end result is a better, stronger and more consistent product built in an environmentally friendly manner. For more information on resin infusion please click here.

We are very excited about these changes and are looking forward to providing you with the best Rocket possible. We are now taking orders for Spring 2007 delivery. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you might have and find out how you can be sailing your own Rocket soon!

Also, please contact us about additional savings on fleet purchases of two or more Rockets.
