Wee Robbie 10'6" long 27" wide, Open or Decked versions 18 - 25 pounds.
Wee Robbie's light weight and small size make it a solo boat that's a dream. For the fisherman or explorer it's an easy boat to get to those seemingly inaccessible ponds. Or it's just that little "ready to go" boat for a local moonlight paddle. The Wee Robbie plans now include the decked or open versions in one set of plans.

You don't have to be small to paddle a Wee Robbie. It can handle up to 250 Ibs. with ease. The fellow in the Wee Robbie in the picture to the left is 6' 6" and weighs 225. Wee Robbie can also be set up to accommodate two children quite comfortably. The bow and stern of Wee Robbie is built with air tanks, for extra flotation and small decks with a built-in hand hold for carrying. A broad flattened sculpted thwart is the standard back rest in the Wee Robbie.Inspired by Henry Rushton's Wee Lassie, circa 1893, Wee Robbie is close in size and hull design. Rushton's idea for a small solo craft of light weight is experiencing quite a renaissance of enthusiasm with paddlers and builders across the country. This boat style is called a double paddle canoe, because it is paddled with a kayak paddle, in a seated position. At 20 Ibs., this is the ideal boat for a small person or someone who just doesn't want to hurt themselves lifting a heavy boat. "I'm a small person, so lightweight was what I wanted first in a solo boat. When I saw how beautiful my boat was, I was totally in love. My best friend shares my feelings about my boat. So much so, that I bought another boat as a present so I could have mine back. " Pat Beaudry
