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?

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!

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.

A very different animal.
