Good afternoon Sail Nat community,

I am a completely novice sailor with a beautiful 36' wooden sloop to offer anyone in the Duluth Minnesota area. We recently lost our Dad and are in way over our heads with a 1958 Rhodes Fractional Rig Auxiliary Sloop 4 sale. She was built in Germany by Phillip Rhodes and needs a good home. We cannot begin to take care of her, please help.

My guess is that if your boat is 41 feet long, designed by Phillip Rhodes, and wood, it is probably a Bounty 1 and not a Bounty II. The Bounty's were commissioned by one of the Coleman cooler heirs. The original plan was to mass produce them in wood with a pattern for every single part of the boat and to make each part in multiple numbers at a time. It was based on a system employed by Herreshoff Manufacturing. They were pretty successful as wooden boats go. Several boats were also built to this design in post war Europe as well.

When fiberglass became popular Coleman went back to Rhodes and had the design updated for fiberglass and that became the Bounty II.
