Rhodes 19
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rhodes 19 (Hurricane class) is a 19-foot-long (5.8 m) sailboat, designed by Philip Rhodes and originally manufactured by O'Day Corp.. Currently, the Rhodes 19 is built by Stuart Marine Corp. To date, approximately 3500 of the boats have been built.
Available with either a fixed keel or with a retractable centerboard, it is used primarily as a day sailer or for one-design racing. The Rhodes 19 is still actively raced throughout the United States, with active fleets in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Orleans, LA and Chicago, IL.
