The Rhodes 33 was originally designed in 1938 for class racing in Southern California, where there were 20-30 mile races to offshore islands. These events required boats that could accommodate a crew overnight and that were weatherly and reasonably able, for the races were in open waters and often upwind. The Rhodes 33 has a deep cockpit, but not self-bailing, and there is no bridgedeck or high companionway sill. Auxiliary power is supplied by an outboard fitting through a well in the counter. The 33s were built by the South Coast Boat Building Company in Newport Beach CA. The Rhodes 33 is one of a
cluster of narrow racing boats Rhodes designed during this period.
Other boats in this series include the 34' Lake
One Design, (Lake Erie-Ontario), the 36' Evergreen
(Pacific Northwest), and the 35' Eastern
The boat pictured is hull
#41. She has been lovingly restored and re-launched in August 2006
in California.
