1958 Rhodes Bounty II “Maia” I purchased Maia as a functional /sailable restoration project, however, as time and tide, (as well as career opportunities) pause for no man…I’ve not the time to give her that she deserves, and must reluctantly release her to another’s care.
She is in solid structural condition and comes with a decent sail inventory. Standing rigging is in good condition, all sails in good condition. She is without propulsion, but all running gear is installed and in decent condition. Topsides will need a fair amount of reconditioning. She was used as a summer live-aboard by previous owner but has retained much of the original configuration. Unfortunately, this includes much of the electrical system, with the exception of the mast wiring, which was replaced four years ago. Working head and holding tank, all original berths and cushions, w/exception of v-berth, which is new, courtesy of the PO.
She is in a state of pleasant, but functional, disarray, and is without a doubt a substantial project but will easily return to her former glory under the appropriate care.
Will add additional pictures soon (22 Feb 2020)
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)
Soon after designing the RHODES 27, Rhodes designed the BOUNTY (design #451) for production in wood. It was the predecessor to the BOUNTY II which, in 1956, became one of the first molded fiberglass boats of this size.
