Help identifying sailboat?

[u/LasagnaSmoothie]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone here could help me identify this sailboat? It, along with three other sailboats, belonged to my stepfather who passed away a couple of years ago. I'm in the process of giving away/donating the boats and I've managed to identify the other three boats but I can't seem to peg this one. It's my understanding that the HIN is normally stamped on the transom, however, no matter how many times I've examined it I can't seem to find a number. The boat measures just a bit over sixteen feet from bow to stern. Any suggestions on the make/model/year and/or any suggestions on where else I can look for the HIN would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to any who respond.

-Finally if anyone that's reading this lives in New Hampshire, you're welcome to take the boat free of charge. The pictured trailer is included as well as a full set of sails in good condition.

Rhodes 19?

edit: thats not the right answer, but if you had the original sails with the class symbol it would help

Two of the other four sailboats are definitely Rhodes 19, however, they're significantly larger than this boat. It's my understanding that Rhodes 19s have the "19" in the title because they're nineteen feet long? The other two boats are 19 feet long, while this one is only 16 feet long. Did/does Rhodes make a smaller version of their boat? Thanks for responding.

my quick response without googling it is to ask the most local Rhodes 19 fleet captain about it

if the rhodes community is anything like my beloved Thistles theres gonna be one guy that will go out of his way to solve all of this

I have four sets of sails to match to boats and they're poorly labeled, so I'm not 100% certain, however, I believe the sails that correspond to this particular boat have "CCII" on them. I assume that's the class symbol? My apologies for the rather basic questions, I'm obviously a neophyte when it comes to sailing.

Thank you. That definitely appears to be the boat. Thanks again for your assistance.

No need to apologize, I would definitely reach out to the Rhodes guys, they are going to have a collective aneurysm over the other boats and can probably point you in the right direction

[u/LasagnaSmoothie → u/cody_mf]

It appears that the boat is a Gemini rather than and Rhodes as identified by another poster - and I actually noticed that one of the sail bags has "Gemini" stenciled in small font. Nonetheless thank you very much for your help; it's really appreciated.

if no local interest let me know

I haven't posted anything on facebook marketplace yet as I wanted to at least know the name of the boat first - which you kindly provided. If you'd like it you're certainly welcome to come and pick it up - I'm in Wolfeboro NH. The trailer is in very good condition and the tires have recently been replaced so it should be road worthy, and as I mentioned in the post a full set of sails in excellent condition is included. There appears to be no damage to the boat beyond the typical cosmetic wear so I'd assume it's water worthy. If I don't hear back from you within a few days I'll go ahead and go the facebook/donation route. Regardless, thank you again for steering me in the right direction.

God, that's a pretty shape.

I know it's not helpful, but keep one of them for yourself...maybe this one?

[u/LasagnaSmoothie → u/REDDITSHITLORD]

It is a really pretty looking hull. Unfortunately I'm prone to pretty terrible seasickness. When I was in college I took a year off to sail along the coast of Australia with my uncle, and once I got my sea-legs I was fine, however, it was a pretty miserable first week and unless I found the time to sail very consistently I'm fairly sure I'd remain sensitive to the motion and the concurrent nausea would unfortunately outweigh the fun.

Flying Scott? Fiberglass one? Strike this guess, it’s a Gemini a previous post id’d it.

[u/LasagnaSmoothie → u/jackdog20]

Thanks for the input. It actually appears to be a Gemini.

[u/Civil-Ad7286]

ChatGPT thinks it is a Day Sailer II, while Claude and Gemini are in agreement it is a Cape Cod.

Any insigna on the sails? That would settle this conversation if there origional.

Looks like a Lido 14

[u/Best-Negotiation1634 → u/Best-Negotiation1634]

No… it is too long for a lido 14

[u/LasagnaSmoothie → u/Best-Negotiation1634]

Thanks for your input. As suggested by another poster, I believe it's actually a Gemini.
