The sensational Rhodes 22 has emerged into a class by itself as the world's most outstanding trailerable sailboat in the 22 foot range.

Quality and innovation have moved custom built Rhodes into the higher end the competitive price range - Recycling of earlier Rhodes has moved pricing to the lower end. Collectively, the Rhodes offers a boat to fit a broad range of budgets in the $10,000 to $35,000 bracket.

Where Do You See Yourself

A Big Boat Sailor? - longing to return to the fun and more sailing time a single-handed smaller boat can offer - but not wanting to give up any of those amenities you have grown accustomed to on your larger boat. The Rhodes 22 offers you big boat amenities heretofore never found on small boats, including enclosed marine head with holding tank and "Y" valve for macerated discharge, water on demand system, dual loading ice box, gas and 110 shore power cooking, circuit breakers, self-tending jib, Innermast Mainsail furling - just to cite a few of this 22's big boat sailors' pacifiers.

A Worldly Wise Sailor? - who realizes that working up to larger and larger boats is really a self-defeating fantasy for most of us and knows that 22 is your practical size for a long time to come - so wants the very best 22 in the whole world - whose wisdom is, "Charter the big one - own the small one.

The Fortunate Sailor? - who can now afford to reward him or herself - and cost is not the major decision maker in getting the very most pleasure out of our one time passage this way.

The Brand New to Sailing? - willing to start with the best because your entry-shopping discovery is that being the best is the very thing that makes the Rhodes 22 the easiest, safest and most fun to learn on.

The "Accountant" Minded Buyer? - who wants to match the sailboat budget to the time-use factor and return benefits - that the faster to set sail, easier to sail, less down-time Rhodes, will lead to less dollars spent per actual time sailing - that the best is the least costly in the long run - that the beautifully outfitted Rhodes qualifies as a tax deductible second home by your uncle - that while the Rhodes is near the high end of trailerable sailboats, VALUE is also at the high end, with none of your dollars going to dealer markup or advertising or fancy promotional literature - that it is value that makes the Rhodes one of the best buys when it comes to trailerables. And that much, much more comes back to you resale time than with any other competitive boat. Just look at the classifieds !
