I bought my Rhodes last year and have not had it in the water yet. When I get the mast up and boom on in my driveway I may be able to tell what this is for. What is the cleat in the cabin as you step through the companionway? It is on the centerboard trunk and its position tells me a line comes down from above to be cleated.

From what I gather the hull is one piece and deck is one piece. Where the two meet a previous owner ran what looks to be a continuous silicone bead around the boat. Is there an issue with the Rhodes leaking water into the cabin at this point? Serenity is a 1990 model.
