The RHODES 41 is derived from the slightly earlier Bounty II and comes from the same mold which Grumman Corp./Pearson Yachts acquired in 1961. (In the Rhodes archives, both are listed as Rhodes design #658.) The RHODES 41 was given slightly more free-board, two smaller windows in the dog house, and lead ballast. The mast was moved aft, the engine re-located behind the companionway.
