Do you know this boat?

Has anyone ever heard of a "Rob Lane 24" maybe made in Australia.It's a daysailor and the outboard motor is set inside the transom.

It's a Robert Legg 24

it is a trailerable 24' boat with a weighted swing keel. It has a well for an outboard aft of the cockpit. The well's opening can be covered if racing. It is indeed an Australian design; however, many were made in this country, I think in Michigan.They're sparse in the interior with sleeping for 4 close friends (V berth, 2 quarter berths). Space for a cooler and a place to put a portable stove, all in the salon is it. Plenty of storage, though.One great feature is the forward hatch (not visible in the photo) on the raised cabin opens out downward (and is removable) so the head sail can be set or struck while kneeling inside the cabin. Great idea for rough conditions.They are serious boats and raced in the oceans off the Australian coast. The owners have an active website.

Thank-you

Thank-you I have owned the boat for two years and always used the name the prevess owner told me "Rob Lane" I like the boat and got a great deal on it but it does not have alot of living space in side. We have a power boat at the coast that we use as a weekend place and going from that to the sailboat is quite a sock but it is fun to trailer from lake to lake around the state.

Thank-you I have owned the boat for two years and always used the name the former owner told me "Rob Lane" I realy like the boat and got a great deal on it but it does not have alot of living space in side. We have a 25'power boat at the coast that we use as a weekend place and going from that to the sailboat is quite a sock but it is fun to trailer from lake to lake around the state. I added a head and my wife's nephew hand painted the sail for me.
