My 76 has the same through hulls on the side as the one in the photo. One is for the sink and the other is for the bilge pump. My boat does not have the forward facing ports on the cabin but these could have been added by the owner.

What an interesting find!  Thanks for sharing.  I agree with Roger's
assessment.  It's looks similar to the 1976 Continental I originally had.
The two through hulls are different though, I've never seen a boat with two.
They are also lower to the waterline than my '76.

Hi Mike,

It's too bad you couldn't get a hull number off the transom.  Although the
authorities could get an owner's name & address by running the W/C
registration number thru their data base, unless you have some juice in the
St. Maarten police dept., there's not much info there.  It's interesting
there is no expiration year tab stuck to the hull following the W/C
registration number.  Maybe they don't do that in St. Maarten.  But, then,
how do they collect their watercraft use taxes?

It's obviously a standard mainsail rig, plus someone has added a Bimini top
and upgraded the roller furler.  It also looks like there is some sort of
folded down dodger on the cabin roof.  That would make a lot of sense for
ocean sailing.   As a Great Lakes sailor, I'd love to see more details on
that dodger!  It's got the old style cable style mainsail traveler.  I'm
guessing this is a fairly early Rhodes Continental - mid to late 1970's.

I bet there is an interesting story behind how that boat came to be in St.
Maarten.

My wife and I were kayaking in St. Maarten on December 16, 2021 while on a
shore excursion from a Royal Caribbean cruise. We couldn't believe that our
guide took us right past a nicely maintained Rhodes 22, registration
SX2871PC. We stopped for pictures (attached). We did not have time to circle
the Rhodes to see if there was a name on the transom.



Does anyone know who she belongs to?
