The 1940 Rhodes project

Hello this is a first for me…

I already own a vintage fiberglass sailboat.

However, there’s something about wood that attracts me a lot…

This 40ft Rhodes design has found me when least expecting it…

I hope she will make a good partner in my upcoming voyages…

The reason I share on this site is that I am hopping some of you guys with more experience than me, will offer and share your expertise as I progress with this project…

Above are some photos as she is now.

Just wanted you to know that I have a cousin in Brainard Minnesota that has been restoring a 1940 Rhodes sailboat.

I think he is in the 5th year of his restoration. It looks a lot like your boat.

If you would be interested in talking with him let me know and I can give you his phone number. My email is Stevencraig1951@gmail.com
