The Little sister rhodes is a 27.12ft fractional sloop designed by Philip Rhodes and built in wood since 1938.
The Little sister rhodes is a heavy sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a very short water supply range.
