Rob Legg of RL24 Fame passed on Feb. 11th

[GoldenStreak]

Saw on the RL24 Faceboook page that Rob Legg passed.  He was the designer/builder of the great RL24 trailer sailor.  On the RLYACHTS.NET site there is a great series of articles telling his story getting into sailing and building boats.  I just acquired one of these and am readying it for next year, but those articles are great history including him getting on the wrong side of Uffa Fox!  Worth heading over there for a read under "The RL Story".

Hi Golden Streak Just a heads up. RIP Rob Legg- Australian Trailer Sailer Building Legend is a post started here earlier in the week commemorating this great designers life. Good to see others commemorating this mans life.

Regards Graeme

Sad...a great boat either loved or hated by the Aussie trailer sailor racing fraternity. 

The drop keel model went really well in a blow.

Vale Rob Legg
