  (please advise services you would like added.)

Mention GREEN and the reaction 

is negative.  That is until one sees a green Rhodes.  The Green we found, simply becomes a Rhodes.   So much so, that green is now moving up close on the heels of second choice: 

Envelope please. 

In the beginning all Rhodes were white.

Then one fine day a doctor from Nantucket

 reminded us it was his toy and he had

 to have Dark Blue, never mind the sun

 or our promise that color fades. He won.

 It came out a knock out, everyone had to

Two refurbishing works in progress. 


The Rhodes to the left offers a rare opportunity to see the working end

of a  diamondboard that, big as it is. takes up no cabin living area. 


If you find yourself ever opting for Plant anti-fouling service, you can also opt for including the centerboard trunk interior and full diamondboard recoating.


Amazingly the Rhodes hull is so stiff it can levitate like this.
