Overview
About this vessel
Marmetta was designed by Philip L. Rhodes of New York City and built by the Blanchard Boat Company of Seattle, Washington. She is, to all intents and purposes, a larger edition of the Rhodes 27. The layout and general profile are the same, but the extra two feet of waterline length have been used to obtain a slightly larger boat.
Marmetta is planked with Port Orford Cedar with Everdur fastenings. She originally had Kordless standing rigging and Merriman hardware. Her motor was replaced in 1959 with a Mercedes OM 636 VI-E diesel engine mounted aft under the cockpit.
Accommodations consist of a two-berth stateroom with plenty of storage space forward, followed by a head to port and hanging lockers to starboard. Aft of this is the main cabin, which is equipped with a built-in berth with extension transom on the port side and a settee berth on the starboard side. A conveniently arranged galley is located aft to port, while a chart table and storage space are to starboard.
Recent refits include 2026 house, decks and interior painting, varnish and finishes; 2024 bottom paint and recaulking; 2023 complete new electrical system with batteries and battery monitor; 2021 topside paint; 2018 complete rigging replacement; 2013 topsides and caulking work plus new engine beds and repair of cracked frames; 2008 fiberglass replacement on cabin top, topside painting and caulking, and cabin top sealing; 2004 replacement of soft planks, bronze straps on cracked frames, new stove, new fridge, new bilge pumps, and new self-tending winches and automatic windlass.
