Description
Designed by Phillip Rhodes back in 1960, the Rhodes 22 is a trailerable cruiser for a couple that wants the amenities of a larger boat without putting up with the hassles and expenses of a larger boat. ... And it's not an inexpensive boat for its size. The Rhodes 22, from its inception, has been a purpose-built boa
This may be the last chance to own a Rhodes 22 by an Iconic builder know by few and revered by many as a master pocket sail builder.
She has been maintained at the factory in North Carolina where, the bottom was professionally repainted. The boat has a 9hp Yamaha engine. It had a full service before it was brought to the factory and ran perfectly. This boat includes all standard equipment including upgrades as follows: cushions and 175 genoa. There is a sink with an electric faucet pump, a one burner butane stove and a large "built-in" cooler (easily removable) in the galley area. There is a separate head with a flushing toilet, holding tank or macerator.
The design of this boat makes it very stable on the water, virtually impossible to capsize. It sails single handedly with no modifications and has room for the whole family with a cockpit 7'4" long and nearly 8' wide. It is a delightful pocket sailer. It can be sailed in light or high winds thanks to its innermast furling system, eight stays plus the 175% 200-sq. ft. genoa is roller-furled on the fore-stay and 100-sq. ft. mainsail rolls up into a 26' mast. With its 1.5 foot draft the Rhodes 22 can be sailed in 20" of water with the board up.
