The Roue 20 is a Canadian sailboat, that was designed by William James Roué.[1] [2] [3]
Roué was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1879. He lived in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia and worked from 1899 to 1931 for the family firm, Roué's Carbonated Waters, when he design the boat in 1922.[2] [4] [3]
Most sailboats are named for their imperial or metric length overall, but the Roue 20's designation instead indicates it was William J. Roué's 20th design.[2]
The Roue 20 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of wood, with wood trim, although some newer ones incorporate some fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig, a keel-mounted rudder and a fixed long keel. It displaces 47000NaN0. The boat has a draft of 4.2feet with the standard keel.[1] [3]
The design has a hull speed of 6.14kn.[3]
