REBEL ONE DESIGN

Design Alan Buchanan. Built 2015 Belaugh

Boatyard, LOD 22ft (6.7m)

Rebel Reiver is the fi rst glass Rebel One Design

built since 2008, and its deep-blue hull is

complemented by the ivory cove and boot lines

and grey antifoul, creating a surprisingly

contemporary feel. The upperworks are in oak,

Douglas fi r and African mahogany. Rig is gunter.

RUSTLER 37

Design Stephen Jones. Built Rustler Yachts 2015, LOD 37ft (11.3m)

Like many Stephen Jones designs, the 37 is neither pastiche nor

replica: just elegant, timeless design. Like the classic 36, there is a

proper sheer and transom stern, but with more beam, she’s nearly

double the volume and will take you around the world in comfort.

KITE

Design by A Wolstenholme 2002. Built Demon Yachts 2015, 21ft (6.4m)

Razor sharp lines, light displacement (750kg/1,650lb), low wetted surface

area and carbon spars make this trailer-sailer fl y. The fi rst plywood Kite

was launched in 2010, but this is the fi rst high-spec GRP one. ‘Kite is the

boat most of us need in the real world’ was our verdict after a test sail.

You’ve never seen a Liz 23 like

this! But Bill Traff ord (Alchemy

Marine) specialises in fi nding

nice-looking donor hulls and

creating beauties. We nearly put it

in restorations, but materially and

conceptually, she’s a new boat.
