The Pearson Rhodes 41 Yawl occupies a sacred niche in the history of American yachting, representing one of the earliest and most successful triumphs of the fiberglass revolution. To trace its lineage is to look back to 1956, when naval architect Philip Rhodes and engineer Bill Garden collaborated on the Bounty II for Californiabased Aero Marine Plastics. That groundbreaking design was essentially a fiberglass reimagining of Rhodes’ famed wooden masterpiece, Altair. Built during an era when builders were still cautious of material failure, the Bounty II was laid up with an incredibly thick, heavy solid laminate hull—often exceeding an inch in thickness. When Aero Marine ceased operations in 1960, Grumman Aircraft acquired its tooling and shipped the molds to Rhode Island, where cousins Clint and Everett Pearson redefined the vessel under the Pearson Yachts banner.
