From Facebook 2023 "I did a couple of Hamble River Winter Series races on an RS34 called Design Star when I was a student in the early '90s. Lovely machine, but it knew how to broach!"

2010 Round Mann Race (Isle de Man): record holder for the PY Class of 10 hours 4 minutes

2014 May, Nigel Astbury-Rollason: " I purchased a clapped out racing yacht and after six long weekends of hard work fixing almost everything, she was sailed back to Plymouth and her mooring at Weir-Quay Boatyard.
We have competed in 4 Fastnet Races and acheived creditable finishes. We use Rebel for family cruising and racing in offshore events……..no round the cans stuff……..We did plenty of that racing Merlin-Rockets for many years (still a great dinghy to sail) In fact sailing Rebel is just like sailing a Flippin’ Big Merlin-Rocket ……….with running back stays !!"

2015 On port of Plymouth Sailing Association list

"REBEL has won the Yealm to Trebeurden race three times"
