Don't get the Yawl Rob Roy mixed up with McGregor's canoes of the same name - all his boats were called Rob Roy. The yawl was a 21 footer - not massive admittedly - in which he sailed from London to Paris (with a cargo of Prtestant tracts)
The canoe Rob Roy, or on of them, was recently on show at the River & Rowing Museum in Henley, as part of a temporary exhibition about McGregor
