About the Evergreen Rhodes

Finding detailed information about the Evergreen Rhodes proves challenging, as this sailboat remains one of the more elusive designs in boating circles. With limited specifications readily available, prospective buyers may need to conduct thorough research and seek out knowledgeable brokers or owners to fully understand this vessel's capabilities and characteristics. Given the Rhodes name association, this sailboat likely carries DNA from the respected design lineage of Philip Rhodes, whose boats earned reputations for solid construction and reliable sailing characteristics. Rhodes designs traditionally emphasized seaworthiness and practical cruising abilities over racing performance, suggesting the Evergreen Rhodes may follow similar principles. Without comprehensive specifications, potential buyers should focus on hands-on inspections and sea trials to evaluate the boat's condition and sailing behavior. The limited availability of information could indicate either a small production run or a design that didn't achieve widespread market penetration, which may affect parts availability and resale value. Those considering an Evergreen Rhodes should connect with sailing communities and forums where owners might share insights about maintenance requirements, sailing performance, and overall ownership experience. This research approach becomes particularly valuable when dealing with lesser-documented sailboat models.

Performance Ratios
SA/Displacement Sail Area to Displacement ratio measures how much sail power a boat has relative to its weight. Higher values mean more performance and speed.
Under 14 — Heavy cruiser, slow14–18 — Cruising sailboat18–22 — Cruiser/racerOver 22 — Performance racer
19.6
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
29.95
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
1.49
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 6.56
Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 628.58
