The Rob Roy 23 is an American trailerable sailboat, that was designed by Edward S. Brewer and first built in 1980. The design is out of production.
Production
The boat was built by Marine Concepts in Tarpon Springs, Florida, United States. The design is a cabin version of the Sun Seeker 23 daysailer, which was also built by Marine Concepts.
Design
The Rob Roy 23 is a small recreational centerboard sailboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It is a fractional Gunter rigged yawl and has an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and an L-shaped centerboard keel. It displaces 2,800 lb (1,270 kg) and carries 900 lb (408 kg) of ballast.
The boat has a draft of 4.67 ft (1.42 m) with the centerboard down and 1.50 ft (0.46 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.
The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) well-mounted outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 12 U.S. gallons (45 L; 10.0 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 14 U.S. gallons (53 L; 12 imp gal).
The design has sleeping accommodation for two or three people, depending on layout. It has two straight settee berths in the main cabin and the option of a third berth angled in the bow. The galley is located on both sides in the bow. The galley equipped with a two-burner stove to port and a sink to starboard. The head in the forward part of the bow. Cabin headroom is 48 in (122 cm).
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 201 and a hull speed of 6.1 kn (11.3 km/h).
Operational history
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "there's nothing like a yawl rig to give character to a small sailboat. Add a canoe stern, comfortable accommodations for two (or three if you opt for a single berth forward
squeezed in next to the head), reasonably good construction and finishing, and you have the makings of a classic small yacht. Ted Brewer, whose life has been spent designing comfortable cruising boats, has succeeded here in his efforts to create just such a boat; and Marine Concepts, which left the business in 2006, did a good job of building her. Rob Roy had a relatively long production run, from 1983 to 2000, with a hiatus from 1994 to 1997. Best features: She's a salty-looking boat, with practical features such as a tabernacle for the main mast, an unstayed mizzen, an L-shaped centerboard that frees up cabin space by keeping the board trunk small and out of the way, and an in-cockpit engine well. And of course, as a yawl she has the advantage of easily shortening sail when it comes on to blow. Worst features: She is not very fast or weatherly versus her comp[etitor]s, partly a result of her divided rig and oddly shaped centerboard, though she does fine on a reach."
