Rhodes 22

The Rhodes 22, also referred to as the Rhodes 22 Continental, is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Philip Rhodes as a cruiser and first built in 1968.

The boat was designed by Rhodes at the request of General Boats owner Stan Spitzer and first built by that company. It was later built in Canada by C&C Yachts and in the United States by Ray Greene & Co, Siddons & Sindle and Lofland Sail-craft, with 1,000 boats completed, but it is now out of production.

The Rhodes 22 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a slightly reverse transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed stub keel with a retractable centerboard. The hull has a slight reverse sheer. It displaces 2,000 lb (907 kg) and carries 600 lb (272 kg) of ballast.

The boat includes a mast-furling mainsail without sail battens and roller furling jib. The cabin has a "pop-top" to increase headroom, two opening ports forward of the pop-top and fixed ports on the front of the coach house.

The boat has a draft of 4.00 ft (1.22 m) with the centerboard extended and 1.67 ft (0.51 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.

The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and drop-down dinette table in the main cabin. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is straight in layout and is equipped with a single-burner stove and a sink. The enclosed head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side. Cabin headroom is 54 in (137 cm).

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 334 and a hull speed of 6.0 kn (11.1 km/h).
