Our ROB ROY is truly a unique step forward in canoe design and
construction, made possible by our Fast-G Stitch-N-Glue
boatbuilding system coupled with advanced plywood development
techniques. The result is a hull form shaped at the ends like
the swift, agile, and quiet running round bottom canoes, with
the stability and load carrying ability of a vee-bottom chined
hull amidship.
The graceful styling of our symmetrically ended ROB ROY belies
its ease and speed of construction. In fact, it's so easy to
build, that if you can't build this boat, you probably
can't build any boat. Full size patterns are provided for
all parts, no lofting! No lay-outs! No scaling of plans
required! Only 2 sheets of standard size 4mm (5/32") or 5mm
(3/16") plywood are required - that's what makes ROB
ROY so light (don't attempt to use 1/4" thick plywood;
it's too stiff).
Simply transfer the patterns to the plywood, cut out, stitch,
and glue to shape. Viola!...you'll have a fast, agile,
super-light yet super-strong, stable canoe for a minimum
investment in money, time, and effort. No building jig or forms
are required! It's fast, fun, and easy. Best of all, your
ROB ROY, with its clean, smooth interior and classic appearance,
will turn heads wherever you go. Handling with either one or two
aboard is positive, and even though the hull is unsinkable, the
optional built-in flotation chambers will give added peace of
mind.
