This 1988 Rhodes 22ft sailboat was refurbished by the factory and comes with a motor and trailer. We don’t know the current condition but is being sold AS IS. The boat is in the water and buyer is responsible to have it removed from the water. Pictures are part of the description.We have a clean title for the boat and trailer.The Rhodes has a fairly long waterline at 20'. It has minimal overhangs which is essential to interior volume. The hull has a pronounced flare at the gunwales. It looks a little odd but it provides a comfortable hiking seat and deflects spray while adding some buoyancy when heeled. Unlike most trailerable sailboats built today, the Rhodes 22 uses a shoal keel with a centerboard built in. Most boats use either water ballast or a swing keel. With the board up, the boat draws 20" of water; 48" with the board down. The mast is hinged and has a very effective raising and lowering system The mast is supported by nine stays and shrouds: forestay, two backstays, two upper shrouds, two forward lowers and two aft lowers. There is plenty of rigging to grab when walking around the deck. One disadvantage of all this standing rigging is the extra time and effort required in preparation for trailering and launching. The Rhodes 22 is built in sophisticated but conventional ways with attention to detail. The hull is laid up with a layer of chop on the skin, followed by a layer of roving, followed by Coremat. The nearly one inch thick deck and cabin top use a glass syntactic foam core. For safety, the Rhodes 22 has two molded foam sections glassed into the hull; one forward under the v-berth and one under the cockpit sole. The keel is molded into the hull. As an integral part of the hull, problems associated with attachment are avoided while reinforcing the bottom of the boat. Inside, there's a separately molded centerboard trunk, and 630 lbs. of encapsulated ballast. The centerboard weighs 70 lbs. but requires only a braided pennant to raise it and secure it on a cleat. The Rhodes 22 packs more cruising capability into a small trailerable boat than most. As a cruiser for two people or a couple with children, it is hard to beat in a trailerable boat. While it is an old design built in a conventional way, this is not necessarily bad. You get smooth under surfaces inside lazarette covers and built in shelves. The boat is virtually "tricked-out" with handy gagdets. For the right buyers, the Rhodes 22 is unequaled in many ways.
