I discovered our next boat, a Rob Roy 23. We built a new tender for her owner. I love this boat. So it is a Sailmaster and a Rob Roy, leaning toward the Rob Roy. Anybody have anything to say about the Rob Roy?

Re: Rob Roy
Don't know much about them, other than they're pretty - but I'm a sucker for a canoe sterned yawl. Also that Ted Brewer sailed one for years and loved it - he apparently liked it so much he was only interested in changing to another canoe sterned yawl (the Nimble 30, but I don't think he lasted long in that).
Lovely boats! If you do decide to go with it, I'll be delighted to hear how you like it!

Re: Rob Roy
I agree - very pretty/salty lines. I looked at one but decided against it. Quickstep 24's are in the same price range, with what felt to be a bit more room, though a sloop rig.
Attaching a link to a RobRoy in Mass. Link is active, but not sure if it's still available - seems as if a number of boats get posted on the sales sites and then are never removed. Or searches bring up some archived version of the site.

The 'original' Rob Roy canoe can be seen here: http://www.paddleworld.com/mac-gregor.php
A very different animal.
