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?

Tom this boat looks good! Buy a brown that looks like wood and paint the toerails with that color! I am thinking of Pettit Easypoxy Brightwork brown. I have used it and from a distance it gives the effect of the traditional Herreshoff style brightwork.

Keep us posted.

Cheers,

Keep us posted Tom. I'll look forward to seeing what you get....just get it already!!!! :)

Unfortunately, the pictures don't show. I am very interested in learning about how this project was done.

I can't help but envision a Sailmaster in a deep maroon with ivory decks, a shark white bottom, ivory sail covers, and sparkling varnish .......... Yup, that would be awesome. Keep us posted. I am in too much limbo to move on a boat and am considering going into pro. boatbuilding full time which wi...

Tom the latest Sailmaster is way overpriced. It seems like the previous boat is still a good deal!

Ensign is a possibility but like the sheer on the Seasprite, Sailmaster, Typhoon...I like sheer!

I wonder how big the cockpit is in the Seasprites? My minimum is 6'8"+ so I can lay down and nap after a sail. Very important, along with the sheer.

I noticed the large foam filled compartment in the bow and immediately thought that would have to go and if it did I'd be able to stretch out for a nap down below. Very important after a day sail. I am finding very little information out there on the Corinthian, but they are up for sale. For a boat ...

To dovetail a little bit with the Sailmaster 22 thread, I have also been looking for a similar boat and looked at a Corinthian yesterday at Northeast Sailboat Rescue. They are very nice little boats. Not as big as the Sailmaster, but the cockpit looks as big. I think they'd be slightly more performa...

I am keeping my eyes peeled for a Sailmaster too. Two things that I would add/change I am glad to see that others have done in those links to the SM22 club in the Netherlands: add a wooden toerail, make the ports smaller (they are too dominant as single, long ports; one or two and definitely one in ...

I like the Dolphin a lot. The crux to this idea of even getting a boat is keeping cost WAY down. This 22 footer, the Sailmaster, has a tabernacle and it will likely be possible to step the mast without needing to pay a yard to do it...also it can be launched at a ramp and can fit in my driveway easi...

Folks, I will be looking at an S & S Sailmaster at some point. Anybody seen the boat/have info?

TX for thoughts....I did not mean an enclosed head in my first post, so that is fine if it is the boxed kind under the v-berth, etc.

The Bristol 27 is nice....good idea. The others just don't have the cockpit I want.

The B27 is good food for thought...tx,

Design parameters: -22 to 27 feet LOA -a daysailor/weekender -room for 4-6 in cockpit (i.e., a lot of cockpit is what we want) -capable of coastal cruising for a couple days stretch -can take some open water sailing (don't mind getting a little wet) -ratio wise, more cockpit to cabin -cabin can be s...

TX for links.

This is a great little boat.

Tim or other Mainers here do you know of one nearby Portland that I can take the admiral and see an example?

IIRC, there is one in SO. Freeport?

Clint

If anyone has some great pictures that show off the boat please post them so i can show my wife.

If you see or hear of any for sale for very cheap -- project boat -- let us know.

Thanks,
Clint
