Rhodes 19

The Hurricane 19 was constructed of moulded plywood, had an open cockpit and was initially built by the Allied Aviation Corporation.

Marscot Plastics used one of the wooden Smyrnas as a plug to build a mold from and created a fiberglass version, which became the Rhodes 19.

The hull has a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or centerboard.

[1][4] The design has sleeping accommodation for two people in the cuddy cabin and includes a built-in icebox.

It is equipped with a stern-mounted mainsheet traveler, adjustable jib leads and foam flotation for safety.
