Anybody familiar with the 35' Robb Yawl

[straightandtrue]

Ran across a listing for a 35' Robb Yawl built in '59. I haven't seen the boat, but images seem OK.

I do not know if it is a "Lion Design", and am trying to find out more about her.

TRhanks!

That picture looks as if she might be a Lion - certainly the right size.

Arthur Robb was an excellent designer and I would have no worries about any boat designed by him.

Were Lions built as yawls ? I remember a thread here about a Robb 35 ' that wasn't a Lion'.

Related bit of of trivia. I've mentioned here before about the man I have met who was sailing master aboard a boat ( Iorangi)I've spent a lot of time on and which is owned by a friend of mine.

He had a letter from his good frend Arthur Robb circa 1938. Robb of course was an ex pat New Zealander working in Great Britain.
Anyway, the contents of his letter to Con and his other sailing mates was ' There's a war coming boys , and you'd do well to get your yachtmasters'.

Which they did. Con served as an officer on Flower class Corvettes and then transferred to submarines . He ended the war commanding his own S class boat. He's 98 and sharp as a tack.

This looks like the same boat and I'd say it's a Lion: http://tinyurl.com/chno2y
