In the interim, the Rebel Mark V has itself evolved. Note the open transom, floors, seats, and flotation. When we joined the association it was with a very old, twice rebuilt, slug of a Mark I. A week before, we had been completing her second waterlogged cockpit operation and we set sails on her for the very first time at a Nationals in Grand Rapids. When we saw the other boats that had been “modified” over the years and all the improvements that seemed to culminate in the Mark V, we felt we'd become part of a great tradition. A number of boats have been “modified” since 1990, mostly because they were basket cases (waterlogged floors, dropped on the highway), and none of the work plans were reviewed or approved by anyone. Until now, none have been disallowed or even protested. Hank's was the first boat protested, the hearing held, (regrettably, not all interested parties were present), and summary judgement handed down.
