I turned my hand to building half hull models during lockdown, one of which was based on the yacht 'Robber'.
I have lost my notes and now cannot find where I originaly found them on the web. What I remember is: name: Robber; build: during the 1920s; place: USA. She belonged to a definite class but the characteristics of that class were interstingly free of restrictions, i.e. length could be anything between mid 30' to mid 40'; galleys and heads
(toilets) were prohibited (strange?) she was a very wet boat (prob cos there weren't any toilets?) and there were many boats built by differing designers.
What was the Class. Any notable races, records, any extant examples. ???? And any help appreciated.
Rgds. Colin.
