Favorite second place goes to the most beautiful shade of  RED that critical Rhodies have ever seen. It is the one hue and intensity of red that sinners are sorry they have to pass on.  Rhodes Red turns the Rhodes into a stand our in every marina a Red Rhodes calls home.  


Still, the super star remains  untouchable Navy, thanks to a doctor who knew the toy he wanted and the color he wanted it, those long years ago.

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

Go .                        NAVY

It became and remains the number one hull color selection.  That left no choice but to learn how to keep such richly colored hulls from fading.  

So we did.

Envelope please. 

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.
