The Rhodes 19 CB (Centerboard) represents a cornerstone of American fiberglass boatbuilding, serving for over six decades as a premier daysailer and competitive onedesign racer. Designed by the legendary Philip Rhodes, the hull was originally conceived as the "Hurricane," a moldedplywood design, before George O'Day and Palmer Scott transitioned the model to fiberglass in 1958. This evolution marked the birth of one of the most enduring classes in sailing history. While the boat is available in both keel and centerboard configurations, the CB model offers a specific utility for sailors in thinwater environments, such as the bays of the midAtlantic or the shallow inlets of the Gulf Coast. Today, the legacy of the design continues through Stuart Marine, which has maintained the production of the Rhodes 19 with modern refinements while preserving the strict onedesign specifications that keep older hulls competitive against new builds.
