April 26, 2011Rhodes Reliant/Offshore 40by Jeremy McGearyThis design was a classic even before I arrived at C&N in 1984, and it has both a full keel and a yawl rig. It has considerably less volume than the Passport 40, but I like the narrower hull form because it might well offer a more comfortable ride. And it’s one of many fabulous designs from Philip Rhodes.

Hooking up a 100+-lb sailfish is easy. Hoisting it on board DOMINO is the hard work. JP Dufour in las Perlas, Panama.
