The Rhodes 77 is an American sailboat that was designed by Philip Rhodes as a cruiser and first built in 1947.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
The Rhodes 77 design, initially built from steel, was adapted for aluminum construction by McCurdy & Rhodes in the 1980s.[1][2]
The design was built by Burger Boat Company in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, United States, who built five boats starting in 1947, but it is now out of production.[1][2][7][8]
A single boat was built in aluminum in place of steel in the 1980s after being redesigned for that material by McCurdy & Rhodes.[1][2]
