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.

nice-looking donor hulls and

in restorations, but materially and
conceptually, she’s a new boat.
