Rhodes 19 Class # 318. Never upgraded for racing. Older boat ready to go. Remounted keel with SS bolts. Last in water in 2017. Ribs are good, rigging checked over, new jib halyard. Spinaker included but no rigging (Needs halyard, pole lift, sheets etc.) Genoa included with lead tracks on both sides. Outboard Motor mount, reconditioned rudder. Located on Martha’s Vineyard…check ferry rates at Steamshipauthority.com. Trailer is custom, not designed for launching, but could be used for that if willing to sacrifice it to rust. Has never been dipped and has very few miles. God for working on bottom, storage and shifting to launching travel lift. Needs new tires (4.80 x 8) for longer trip…$30 each, I’ll mount them for you. Trailer is registered as “Homebuilt” in Massachusetts…you could do the same. Boat has never be registered (Massachusetts does not require registration for boats without engines/motor. Keel was just sanded and primed and barrier coated. Bottom paint needs a good sanding and repainting for the 2024 season. Topsides are painted white, chipped here and there quite a bit. Deck is original Gel Coat Blue.
Equipment: Anchor needs 5’ of new chain. Swim ladder, All sails are old, usable for causal daysailing.
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.
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
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.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
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.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
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.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
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.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
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.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
The RHODES 19 has it’s origins with HURRICANE class (1945) which was a molded plywood centerboarder with an open cockpit built by Allied Aviation Corp. Another builder, Palmer Scott, purchased a number of unfinished HURRICANE hulls, added a foredeck with cuddy cabin, and a fixed keel. This boat was sold as the SMYRNA. It was from the SMYRNA that Marscot Plastics made a plug for a fiberglass version. This was the boat that was later sold by O’Day Corp. as the RHODES 19.
There are keel and centerboard versions. The fixed keel version become the standard for class racing.
