Seller's Description
This 1958 41-foot Rhodes Bounty II is one of the inaugural fiberglass racer/cruisers. It helped to revolutionize boatbuilding and brought a new boat construction category to sailors. The Bounty II remains an affordable, efficient choice for cruisers at sea, one that happens to be just 5 years shy of 50 years old.
Structure and stability are strong points in this 1958 Rhodes Bounty II with its narrow beam and healthy ballast/displacement ratio meaning she can recover from a deep capsize. The seller reports that she comes with a healthy complement of sails including a main and working jib in good condition, a new storm jib/blade, new 120 and 150-degree genoas, a spinnaker and poles, and 7 more bags including a spare main.
A diesel Perkins 4108 (50 hp) affords alternative engine power to this Bounty II. The seller states there are approx. 400 hrs. on the Perkins.
You won’t lack for other significant modernizations either. There’s a GPS with Navionics, a forward scanning depth sounder, VHF, stereo, and a Raymarine tiller pilot to ease and assist your navigational needs.
Other deck and onboard comfort aids include new raw water and circulation pumps, Max feathering prop, monitor wind vane, Ideal electric/manual windlass, 300-ft. 5/16” new anchor chain, Force 10 diesel/kerosene cook stove, a Sig marine diesel cabin heater, and many other upgraded items.
The seller states that this 1958 Rhodes Bounty II was last hauled out in March 2002 and that new zincs and bottom paint were done at that time.

Calculations
- Hull Speed

7.2 kn
Classic: 7.22 kn
Hull Speed
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
16.9
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
39.9
<40: less stiff, less powerful
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
344.1
300-400: heavy
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
40.0
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
1.5
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
Notes
During the early 1960s, the Bounty II mold was bought by Pearson and was used to make the Rhodes 41. The new boat was given slightly more freeboard, two smaller windows in the dog house, and lead ballast. The mast was moved aft a bit, the rig was changed to a masthead foretriange, and the engine was lifted out of the bilge and put behind the companionway.
