The Rebel 41 stands as a landmark in the history of British boatbuilding, representing one of the earliest and most successful applications of glassreinforced plastic (GRP) to the offshore cruiserracer category. Designed by the legendary Dutch naval architect E.G. Van de Stadt and built by Southern Ocean Shipyard in Poole, the Rebel 41 was conceived as a robust, highperformance yacht capable of tackling the rigorous demands of the Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC) circuit while offering the comforts required for extended bluewater cruising. At its launch in the mid1960s, it was a pioneer of the "heavyweight" GRP era, built to scantlings that often exceeded Lloyd's requirements.
