Since 1974 boat has been sailed extensively in California, Florida, and Texas. Boat was in dry storage from 1982 to 2011 as owner was living overseas which significantly preserved the boats condition. --Some additional website information regarding this classic design and model: The Meridian was Rhodes' pocket cruiser with his distinctive imprint. The Meridian's profile is virtually identical to his large racer-cruisers, the same beautiful sheer, the same bold bow, the same full keel and attached rudder. The doghouse is a bit larger, to get headroom. The Meridian has a proper self bailing cockpit and a proper bridge deck, both needed for safety. The interior contained all the essentials for cozy cruising. There is a full galley, a partly enclosed head, and a main cabin. Rhodes added four bunks by having the feet of the main cabin seats/berth extend aft, under the galley and bridge deck. Classic lines and effortless sailing define this Philip Rhodes design, a complete yacht by any measure. Overhangs at both ends give her a traditional look that never fails to turn heads. She is overbuilt and strong. $8900
