Rob Shaw 5.5m

The Rob Shaw 5.5 metre racing yatch is designed for a crew of 1-4 people, ideally 3 people for a racing crew.  The shallow hull desgined to glide through the water almost like a surfboard, with a self righting hull made to correct simply when sailing in strong winds. Twin rudders allow for greater control and the Sail rig capable for a single person to setup and sail. It has a plumb bow and 2.4metre beam. Strip-planked 8mm thick western red cedar and foam for the topside and deck make the Rob Shaw 5.5 very lightweight, responsive and enjoable to sail.
