This is a well-used boat in decent, sailable condition. We sailed it 58 miles on an overnight Chesapeake Bay trip in August,
motoring more than 15 miles when the wind died.
The Rhodes 22 is a nice easy-handling weekend cruiser, comfortably sleeping two adults, with additional room for kids.
It's ideal for shallow water sailing, and can be readily single handed.
