[Translate to English:] Robåt
Tradisjonelle robåter som også kan seiles. Det er i ferd med å bli oppdaget på nytt som en ny måte å trimme på og oppdage vårt opphav.
Iain Oughtred, Struan Cottage, Bernisdale, Isle of Skye, IV51 9NS, GB er min favoritt designer av moderne tradisjonelle båter, spesielt båtene Ness Yawl og Caledonia Yawl.
