The Rob Roy is an excellent choice for solo paddlers who want a fast, stable cruising boat that still handles well in windy and wavy conditions. Small, easy to portage and highly maneuverable, it has enough cargo space for a week of interior tripping. The Rob Roy combines the enjoyment of canoe tripping with the versatility of a kayak.
