Bob Stuart


Bob is an artist in fiberglass and structures, as well as the designer of the Spinfin pedal drive unit.  He did a huge amount of fabrication work on Microship Wordplay (that's why it's so pretty), and has a lifelong history of involvement in human-powered vehicles.

Bob's Lambordinghy is a Pygmy Kayak kit Queen Charlotte 19 with opened cockpit.  She has a center well for the pedal drive arranged for easy prop raising.  The optional outriggers double as rudders, and swing away for docking.  The boat is mostly self-constructed with help from Thom Rutley for initial assembly and Mark Coulter for maintenance and improvements.
