The Yachts

Rebel

 

Designed and built by Brian Wilson, she is one of the more successful yachts in New Zealand, being the current holder of the Rothmans Gold Cup through the Royal Akarana Yacht Club and also the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron's Sir Ernest Davis Trophy.  She was 12th overall in the 1968 Hobart Race and has since been altered to increase performance still more.  Could easily figure in the prize list.
