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 4"
Complete detailsBeam - 6' 7 1/2" Draft - 3' 6" Sail area - 166 Sq Ft |

Latest E-News you can use from Bruce
Hi All,
With just 5 days to the annual Rock Hall One-Design Regatta,
our Rebel class has the most boats registered with 6. As
registrations for weekend regattas generally happens the day
of, should we be expecting a larger turn out as well? Mary
Vorel advised that Brian Nickels, Dave's nephew, has
purchased 4200 and we might expect to see it soon. Since
Dave and Marianne run a charity event during this weekend or
close to it, I expect not to see them. Jay and Pat are
registered so the only question is will Kevin break away?
Pat Vorel said the her and Mary were coming and Al and
George were looking for crews or they may just bring one
boat. That is exactly what John Washburn and Phil Faulkner
are doing as the only expected entrant from Des Plaines.
Jack Sanderson may come if his granddaughter is available to
crew; Jack also said that no other boats planned on
attending from Coldwater. Neil and I are also registered as
the fleet 2 team as are Bill Selick and Dan Leon from AYS.
Given that:
"The Zimmers and I are still looking for someone to share a
house we rented right down the block from the Crab
restaurant/bar that everyone likes down at Rock Hall. Your
share for your own room and access to our shared living
room/dining room/kitchen (as well as BBQ area outside) is
$240 total for all three days.
Please let me know as soon as possible. We are driving down
on Thursday.
646 715 6680"
it would seem that we may not get a very large day of
registration bump.
Please go to
http://www.rockhallyachtclub.org/regatta.htm and
register today.... Find Neil at the Nationals to give him
the National $25 entry fee usually paid by the host club.
This is in addition to your dues. To skipper in a sanctioned
event you must be a regular member (or the child of one).
Both the Down River Race and the One-Design Regatta are
sanctioned events. Have you paid your annual dues?
Given that the Spring Meeting scheduled for the BOD did not
occur, the meeting schedule for this National Regatta will
serve as the Spring Meeting.
As printed in the Rabble, elections will be held at the
Clark Yacht Club Summer Invitational which is host to our
Junior National Championship and our Collegiate Challenge.
Classes invited to are the Rebel, Interlake, Wayfarer,
Sunfish, and Laser. Rebels hope to have 5 junior teams and 5
collegiate teams in addition to the regular group of Rebel
sailors which choose to come. The Interlake & Wayfarer
response to CLYC's announcement of a second summer event was
positive "see you then" so we hope for a half dozen each.
But as I said in the Rabble we will see if last year's
fortuitous happenstance repeats itself this year.
Mary Vorel has suggested that we hold our 2014 Spring
meeting at the 2013 CLYC Fall Regatta. I'm fairly
certain the By-laws only require us to have two meeting
per year; one at the nationals and one set by the
Commodore. I've nothing agin the idea, so let's do that.
Thank you for your patience and consideration.
Bruce 9Jun13
