Rhodes 19 Wanted – San Diego Area

San Diego sailor would like to purchase a Rhodes 19 within 1000 miles of San Diego (preferably closer).

I’m looking for an older boat, an inexpensive fixer.  I would prefer a CB model with a trailer, but willing to look at a keel model too.

No intention of racing, just want something safe to take my grandkids sailing.  Experienced woodworker and fiberglass fabricator.

Thanks Steve!

Seeking Used Sails

1969 Rhodes 19 centerboard needs new sails. My family and I have been limping along on some tired old rags for too long. We’re hoping to get a decent set of sails for the coming season. Keep in mind that we’re not racers; decent to us might be your discards. Mostly looking for a main and a jib but would love to land a spinnaker.

Thanks.
