The Rob Roy 23 is a recreational keelboat[1][2][3][4] 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.[5][6]
The Rob Roy 23 is 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.[1][2]
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.[1]
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).[1][4]
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).[4]
