Rebel Industries apologizes for the lack of

pretty girls ... sparkling waves ... and billowing
sails in these pictures. It was late fall 1974
whEmwe acquired Ray Greene Co. and bathing
suit weather was long gone. This brochure
will only show hull and cock pit line s and point
out special features of each design in the
Rebel Industires line. We will take the pretty
. pictures this summer.

We offer you a complete line of fiberglas sailboats

all of which are built to racing standards ... which
is to say: We build our boats first for the water-
and second for the showroom (a close second).

Our products are sport boats. The whole reason

for their existance is enjoyment - fun - sport -
joy - thrills - the general good of body and soul
on the sparkling water.

BEAM 6'-6"
WEIGHT 700 LBS.
SAIL AREA 166 SQ. FT.
(MAIN AND JIB)

Rebel is a racing - cruising sloop. The national

class is nearly 3800 strong. Rebel was the first
successful fiberglas sport boat and is generally
considered the class of the 16 ft. market. Others
ha ve imitated, but never surpassed her.

THE COCKPIT VIEW SHOWS THE ROOMY·BEAUTIFUL·COMFORTABLE

PASSENGER AREA. ROOM FOR A FAMILY PICNIC UNDER SAIL
( LITERALLY). EXCELLENT STORAGE FORWARD UNDER DECK.

Rebel is a self - assured comfortable craft that

will sail through a hurricane but is so well
balanced that a gentle sneeze of wind will move
a whole family along in good style. She handles
easily and is very forgiving to the new skipper.
Rebel is the tops as a husband-wife or parent-
child racer:

REBEL HULL LINES ARE FLOWING-GRACEFUL-BEAUTIFUL. HER BIG

POWERFUL HUU IS DESIGNED TO BE FRIENDLY TO ANY CONDITION
OF WIND AND WAVES. SHE'S VERY SAFE AND STABLE.

All Rebel Industries boats are built to sail

away from a capsize:

SAIL AREA 110 SQ. FT.
(MAIN AND JIB)

SLIPPER'S HULL IS DEEp·BEAMY· AND VERY STABLE.

Slipper is our traditional square chine hull. She

makes,an excellent junior trainer for general
sailing instruction or racing. Most of the kids
want to "Race:" sooner or later.

Slipper is not just a "Kids" boat. She will easily

carry 3 adults and perform well. A knowledgeable
small boat sailor can have a ball on Slipper when
the white caps are rolling~ Owners say she is a
"Powerful lot of boat" tucked into 12 feet:

S LIPPER HAS A SIT ·UPON DECK. VERY COMFORTABLE AND JUST

THE RIGHT DESIGN FOR THE KIDS TO "HIKE OUT" AND "HOLD HER
DOWN" IN A STRONG BREEZE.

All Rebel Industries boats are built to sail

away from a capsize:
 SURF SAILER

SAIL AREA 80 SQ. FT.
(SINGLE DELTA MAIN)

Surf Sailer is our version of a rather famous

board boat which shall be nameless. We have just
fancied it up. The fancies are as follows:
1. Large r Cockpit
2. Covered Storage Well On Deck For
Miscellaneous Supplies
3. Cockpit Hand Rails For Safety
4. Improved Rudder System.
If fancies suit your fancy you will be pleased
to find that we don't charge any more for them.

THE HU llS ARE lONG-SLEEK-AND IN "YACHT" TRADITION. FINE

ENTRY FORWARD FOllOWED BY lOAD CARRYING DISPLACEMENT
UNDER THE MAST FEATHERING INTO THE lONG PLAN ING HUllS.AFT.

Blue Star is really new~ She is the first planing

catamaran and "Boy Does She Sail" Blue Star
took 4 years and 4 prototypes to bring to success.
Her basic philosophy is Rebel-class power and
stability combined with the tremendous off-the-
wind speed of the catamaran hull system.

Blue Star slides up the wind like she is on rails

and tacks on a dime because of her unique retrac-
table forward fin-stabilizer. Blue Star has a big
cockpit that you Step-Down Into ... plus 7' 9" seats.
Every topside feature was designed with the hours-
long comfort of the skipper and passengers in mind.

SHOWN ABOVE ARE THE WIDE DECKS FOR SURE FOOTED WALKING OR
lOUNGING WHilE UNDER SAIL. DECKS ARE 201f2" WIDE.
