1965 Rhodes Reliant

This 1965 Rhodes Reliant 41 is a fiberglass sailing yacht designed by Philip Rhodes and built by Cheoy Lee. The 41-foot hull, with a beam of 10.75 feet, displays the classic sheer and graceful overhangs characteristic of Rhodes' design work. She is powered by a single 50 hp Yammer diesel engine, which was replaced around 2006.

Below deck, the yacht features a two-cabin layout offering practical accommodations for cruising and day sailing. The interior retains the character typical of boats from this era, though it would benefit from updating and refinishing by an owner inclined toward restoration work.

The fiberglass hull construction reflects the building practices of the early 1960s and offers the maintenance advantages of the material. The yacht has been wintered indoors in heated storage for the past 20 years and has been regularly maintained and sailed, contributing to her overall condition. The engine replacement in 2006 represents a significant mechanical upgrade from the original powerplant.
