The Rebel is a one
design class sailboat. All Rebel hulls are produced from the same mold.
Rebels are built to the class rules and cannot be changed or modified
by the boat builder unless authorized by the Class. This is the basic
definition of all one design class sail boats. Nickels Boat Works builds the Rebel and several other one design class sail boats. They are known world wide for quality and strict attention to class rules. The Rebel is built to last a life time with some over 50 years old and still sailing. The Rebel Sailing brochure shows photos with the typical crew of two, but the Rebel can also be day sailed with six passengers in the roomy cockpit. With its large steel center board, it is extremely stable and always comfortable to sail. Rebel specifications; Overall length - 16' 1 1/4"

Latest E-News from Bruce 15Mar08 1) Spring finally arrives on the 20th of the month after a bitter struggle with ole-man-winter. Can’t say that I’m that excited, as the lack of snow has exposed the gazillion limbs and junk that has been accumulating over the last four months! So if you are wondering why this note is a tad late, you are witnessing another brilliant work avoidance tactic. 2) Ok, so the truth is that we really do not have a lot to say and didn’t want to waste your precious time. BUT, today happens to be March 15th and it is the deadline for the Rabble so if you have that article almost finished for your Rabble it is time to send it in. Thank You 3) The Spring Meeting was just super and the Nickel’s Family is more then ready for our National Regatta on their pond in Fenton Michigan. Now all they need now is boats to register. Look for all your information in the April Rabble and on our website at www.rebelsailor.com. 4) Once again, our WebSkipper also has been very busy updating the schedule on our website. Take a look at the newest format, with promises of better things to come. We have two June regattas one in Grand Rapids on the 14th and 15th followed by Rock Hall on the 21st and 22nd. Of course the Rebel Nationals are in Lake Fenton with the Junior Nationals beginning on July 13th. If tradition holds in Des Plaines then expect their regatta to occur on August 9th and 10th. Clark Lake we hold their invitational on the weekend of September 20th and 21st. The best part of using our website is that each of these locations has a hot link to it, so you can just grab the registration info and go. Most excellent! 5) Dues are due but don’t be blue as we are all about you and your Rebel! 6) Our Racing Rules Discussion Board has gotten some usage, but not as much as we hoped. Look for the rulings by Dave Perry on the first two cases together with a couple of new ones for your review later this ... Oh, Oh, I’ve been found out- the clean-up brigade is calling, gtg … Bruce LJJ Nowak Rebel Rabble Editor National Rebel Class Association |
