Arthur C. Robb Papers
Collection
Identifier: MSS-Coll-191
Scope and Content
The collection consists of papers concerning the designs that Arthur Robb made for cruising/racing yachts like the SEAVIEW MAIDEN, the LION, the ROBB 35 and the RADIANT one-design classes, as well as design data for specific sailing craft for individual owners. The careful mathematical figures and many pages of design details, displacement ratios and sail area plans give a picture of the meticulous planning that he did before a yacht was allowed to be built. Robb also had his attention on such details as which firms could supply the best winches, rigging, masts, sails and other equipment. He carefully followed the progress of his yachts once they were launched, and saw to changes in design, mast placement, type of keel, etc., even going so far as to cancel a contract with one builder whose work he felt to be shoddy. He took a lively interest in the Bermuda and the Annapolis-to-Newport Races, making notes of the CCA ratings and records of the yachts entered in those races in 1962 and 1963.
The Arthur C. Robb Papers are divided into five different series. The first series relates to the vessel RADIANT, the second to the Ketch THE BLUE BIRD, and the third to a Yawl intended for William Whitehouse-Vaux.
The fourth series is of a data book index which can be used as a reference for folders 9-19 in box 2. The index contains the design numbers Robb used, which can primarily be found on the far left hand column and the folio number, found on the far right column. Using the index, researchers can be directed to specific folio papers found in folders 9-19. In folder 9, the folio numbers found in the index corresponds to the circled red number in the lower right corner of the papers. In folders 10-18 the folio numbers can be found in lower right corner, either stamped or written in. Folder 19 contains unmarked folio papers.
The fifth series is comprised of financial and estate papers of Arthur C. Robb.

Biography of Arthur C. Robb
Arthur Cecil Robb, M.B.E. was born in 1908 at Hawkes Bay, New Zealand, and was considered one of the great yacht designers of his generation. He came from a farming and sailing background, and gained considerable local fame as a helmsman. He also had a good deal of talent as a designer and builder of small yachts and dinghies. In the early 1930's he was encouraged to make a living as a yacht designer, and, being in the Naval Reserve, chose to go to Great Britain where he became yard manager at the boat building firm of Morris and Lorimers at Sandbank, Argyll, Scotland.
At the outbreak of World War II he went to sea as a Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve Officer, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. He worked in both the Admiralty and Air Ministry. In the latter he and Uffa Fox were concerned with the design of the airborne lifeboat.
After the war he set up practice in London as a yacht designer. His wife Susan assisted him in handling many of his contacts with prospective yacht owners and with firms that might supply the materials for the yachts he designed. He was well known throughout the world, but particularly in the United States, for his one-design cruiser/racers. Arthur Robb died after a long illness in London, England in 1969.
