At the end of World War II, Arthur Cecil Robb, a New Zealander based in England, opened his own naval design office in London and began a frankly brilliant career, obtaining very quickly great fame for the elegance and effectiveness of his designs. The Mokoia of 1948, its first important design, came second in the regatta to Kristiansand, in Norway, recently booted, with unreleased sails and loaded with lights for a long cruise. The Kahurangi, 1953, won everything in New Zealand, to the point that he was dedicated a street in Auckland. The union between an experienced navigator like the American August Boorstein, a great naval architect, like Arthur Cecil Robb and a great traditional builder, as it was then the company that Herbert Woods had founded in the Twenty Years, had to generate a masterpiece and according to some historical Rob Roy is, in fact, one of the best ships of the New Zealand architect. Robb already had retractable doughnut experience, but it wasn't until Robb Roy could apply his knowledge in reality. When, in 1966, a Florida broker offered it for the first time on the occasion market, he said that it had cost a new $230,000, a figure that underlines the quality of the construction. Robb repeats some favorite themes: full and deep thread, for great smoothness of passage in the waves, large pop launch, which gives a good reserve of floating. With respect to other designs, Rob Roy's sleeve is greater in relation to his bleach. This is explained by mounting a retractable keel. Other details of Arthur Robb very repeated in his designs are the Dog-house with rounded windows. The seagull hatch, excellent for lighting and ventilation, without diminishing the resistance of the structure. The navigation room, located at the entrance to an enhanced level, which gives better communication with the timonel and limits the dimensions of the difference between the interior and the exterior, when divided into two parts. Or the same folding card table. Or the beautiful solid wood floors and then laminated baos avantgarde. The Rob Roy is finally a real concentrate of ideas and achievements of exceptional quality. Those large launches, which give the boat a very classic air were typical of Robb that remained very linked to the construction of wood, even when the fiber clearly took the relay. The launches, along with the water lines of proa quite full, without the cuts of the thread that had already appeared in American designs, give the boat a lot of floating and a step by smooth and restful wave. The sleeve, somewhat wider than an English fixed quilla boat, but less than an American retractable quilla design and equivalent dimensions, favors the paths of gilded. The retractable keel had another great moment of success after the victories of Stephens' famous Finisterre (1954) and Rob Roy, built for an American navigator, passionate about races, Arthur Robb surely had in mind the results of that boat, against which Rob Roy himself would run in the future. In fact, the Rob Roy, with a broth that passes from 1.80 to 3.05 m., had an interesting sporting life, coding in the classifications with the best boats of his time, until well entered the Eighty Years. Afterwards, he has embarked on a quiet life of high cruise, which has taken him from the United States to visit the Baltic Sea and the North Sea and now navigates the Mediterranean. Barcos Singulares sold it to his current owner a few years ago and he has worried about keeping it in the best structural conditions, fixing several details of the helmet, putting sticks, jarcia and new candles and several improvements more. Today the Rob Roy is in very good condition of maintenance and originality, which for a classic boat is fundamental and only needs a cycle of deck varnishes.
