12 / 25 - score 45%
The Rhodes 18 is a 18.0ft fractional sloop designed by Philip Rhodes and built in wood or fiberglass by Cape Cod Shipbuilding since 1948.
700 units have been built.
The Rhodes 18 is an ultralight sailboat which is a very high performer. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat.
Despite its low score, this boat is ranked in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
