McCurdy & Rhodes
McCurdy & Rhodes is an American naval architecture design firm, originally based in Cold Spring Harbor, New York and now located in nearby Oyster Bay, New York.

History
After its formation, the firm was involved in the design of many boats for Seafarer Yachts in the 1970s and 1980s. McCurdy's son, Ian A. McCurdy, graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with a degree in civil engineering and also graduated from the University of Michigan, with BS and a MS degrees in naval architecture and marine engineering. In 1980, Ian A. McCurdy joined McCurdy & Rhodes from his previous post at the American Bureau of Shipping, where he was an engineer in charge of computer analysis, working on structure and stability of large commercial ships. After this father's death, Ian A. McCurdy became the chief designer. In the 1980s the firm redesigned Philip L. Rhodes' steel Rhodes 77 for aluminum construction for a single boat built by the Burger Boat Company in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The firm has produced more than 100 designs for boats from  length overall, with a focus on off-shore racers. Boats
