The Rhodes Bounty, specifically the fiberglass iteration known as the Bounty II, holds a permanent place in maritime history as one of the first production offshore yachts constructed from glass-reinforced plastic. Designed by the legendary Philip Rhodes with engineering input from William Garden, the Bounty II was launched in 1956 by Coleman Boat and Plastics (later Aero Marine) to prove that fiberglass was a viable material for substantial ocean-going vessels. Built with a "thick-as-a-plank" laminate that often exceeded an inch in thickness, these boats were significantly overbuilt by modern standards, a byproduct of the industry’s early caution regarding the strength of the new material. The design was later acquired by Pearson Yachts in 1961, where it was refined and rebranded as the Rhodes 41, creating a direct lineage of nearly 150 hulls between the two variants.
