The Pearson Rhodes 41', with its sweeping sheer line and long overhangs, mark the Rhodes 41' as a child of the Cruising Club of America ratings era. Perhaps the best measure of the success of this effort lies in the fact that of the approximately 50 Rhodes 41s (built from 1961 to ’68), not only are nearly all still around today, but a cult following has arisen that makes them one of the most sought-after oldies-but goodies afloat. The Pearson Rhodes 41' is the very definition of "Classic Plastic"

"Norbu Ketaka" has been lovingly cared for update by her owners over the years. More recently she has successfully competed in the Annapolis Round Bay Race Series as well as frequent day sailing. There is a long list of updates and upgrades to go along with Norbu Ketaka's extensive history and experience. If you share the enthusiasm for "Classic Plastic" yachts of this era, then this 1964 Pearson Rhodes 41' "Norbu Ketaka" is worthy your visit.
