{{Short description|Sailboat class}}
The '''Rhodes 22''' is 22 foot long [[sail boat]], designed by [[Philip Rhodes]] and manufactured by General Boats in Edenton, North Carolina. The boat features many appointments and design elements of much larger boats, including in-mast mainsail and genoa [[roller furling]], 12-volt and 120-volt electrical systems, pressure water and a holding tank for an enclosed, albeit very small, head. The current design has positive flotation. And the hull has a unique outward flare at the deck, which applies great buoyant power at extreme [[heel]].

==Production==
The boat was designed by Rhodes at the request of [[General Boats]] owner Stan Spitzer and first built by that company. It was later built in [[Canada]] by [[C&C Yachts]] and in the [[United States]] by [[Ray Greene & Co]], [[Siddons & Sindle]] and [[Lofland Sail-craft]], with 1,000 boats completed, but it is now out of production.<ref name="Data"/><ref name="Henkel"/><ref>{{cite web|url = https://sailboatdata.com/builder/cc-yachts|title = C&C Yachts|access-date = 16 November 2021|last= McArthur| first = Bruce |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2021|archive-url= https://archive.today/20201015222748/https://sailboatdata.com/builder/cc-yachts|archive-date= 15 October 2020|url-status= live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url = https://sailboatdata.com/builder/ray-greene-co|title = Ray Greene & Co. 1947 - 1975 |access-date = 16 November 2021|last= McArthur| first = Bruce |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2021|archive-url= https://archive.today/20200804145130/https://sailboatdata.com/builder/ray-greene-co|archive-date= 4 August 2020|url-status= live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url = https://sailboatdata.com/builder/siddons-sindle-usa|title = Siddons & Sindle (USA)|access-date = 16 November 2021|last= McArthur| first = Bruce |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2021|archive-url= https://archive.today/20200719183421/https://sailboatdata.com/builder/siddons-sindle-usa|archive-date= 19 July 2020|url-status= live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url = https://sailboatdata.com/builder/general-boats-usa|title = General Boats|access-date = 16 November 2021|last= McArthur| first = Bruce |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2021|archive-url= https://archive.today/20211030155244/https://sailboatdata.com/builder/general-boats-usa|archive-date= 30 October 2021|url-status= live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url = https://sailboatdata.com/builder/lofland-sail-craft-incusa|title = Lofland Sail-craft Inc.|access-date = 16 November 2021|last= McArthur| first = Bruce |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2021|archive-url= https://archive.today/20211030155316/https://sailboatdata.com/builder/lofland-sail-craft-incusa|archive-date= 30 October 2021|url-status= live}}</ref>
 
==Design==
The Rhodes 22 is a recreational [[keelboat]], built predominantly of [[fiberglass]]. It has a [[masthead sloop]] rig, a [[raked stem]], a slightly [[reverse transom]], a transom-hung [[rudder]] controlled by a [[tiller]] and a fixed stub [[keel]] with a retractable [[centerboard]]. The hull has a slight reverse [[Sheer (ship)|sheer]]. It displaces {{convert|2000|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} and carries {{convert|600|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} of ballast.<ref name="Data"/><ref name="Henkel"/>
 
The boat includes a mast-furling [[mainsail]] without [[sail batten]]s and [[roller furling]] [[jib]]. The cabin has a "pop-top" to increase headroom, two opening ports forward of the pop-top and fixed ports on the front of the coach house.<ref name="PS">{{cite web|url= https://www.practical-sailor.com/sailboat-reviews/rhodes-22|title= Rhodes 22|access-date= 16 November 2021|last= Nicholson|first= Darrell|work= Practical Sailor|date= 1 August 1997|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20210328011406/https://www.practical-sailor.com/sailboat-reviews/rhodes-22|archive-date=28 March 2021|url-status= live}}</ref>
 
The boat has a draft of {{convert|4.00|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the centerboard extended and {{convert|1.67|ft|m|abbr=on}} with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a [[Boat trailer|trailer]].<ref name="Data"/><ref name="Henkel"/>
 
The boat is normally fitted with a small {{convert|3|to|6|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} [[outboard motor]] for docking and maneuvering.<ref name="Data"/><ref name="Henkel"/>
 
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double [["V"-berth]] in the bow cabin and drop-down dinette table in the main cabin. The [[Galley (kitchen)|galley]] is located on the port side just forward of the [[companionway]] ladder. The galley is straight in layout and is equipped with a single-burner stove and a sink. The enclosed [[Head (watercraft)|head]] is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side. Cabin headroom is {{convert|54|in|cm|0|abbr=on}}.<ref name="Data"/><ref name="Henkel"/>
 
The design has a [[Performance Handicap Racing Fleet|PHRF]] racing average handicap of 334 and a [[hull speed]] of {{convert|6.0|kn|km/h|abbr=on}}.<ref name="Henkel"/>
 
==Operational history==
In a 1997 review in ''Practical Sailor'', Darrell Nicholson concluded, "it's nice to see a boat that does what it's intended to do as well as the Rhodes 22 does. It's a cruiser, and packs a lot of cruising capability into a small trailerable boat. You can daysail it, obviously, but it's really on the pricey side if a daysailer is all you want. And you can squeeze some more adults aboard for cruising, but at the expense of comfort, privacy or both. As a cruiser for two, it's hard to beat without going up considerably in size and price. The reports we've received from readers are almost universally enthusiastic."<ref name="PS"/>
 
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "Philip Rhodes, who designed many gorgeous if sometimes slow sailboats, was asked in 1968 by General Boats to design a vessel for its owner, Stan Spitzer, to incorporate the builder's ideas. Two years later, after the company’s previous craft, the flare-sided 17-foot [[Picnic 17|Picnic]] ... designed by Nils Lucander was discontinued, the 'Rhodes Continental 22' ... went into production. How much of the boat was actually designed by Rhodes is a question, since her style is nothing like Rhodes's other very recognizable boats, and Spitzer says he no longer has any drawings from Rhodes. The Picnic's reverse sheer hull, flared from stem to stern, is repeated in this boat ... Best features: Compared to two of her three comp[etitor]s, the Rhodes 22 has slightly more headroom (though to get standing headroom, the poptop must be raised). Worst features: Draft with board up is at the high end among comp[petitor]s, making launching relatively harder. Price new ... is very high for what is offered. Check out the competition before you buy."<ref name="Henkel"/>
