REBEL LADY 1965 2025
​
Rebel lady is on the hard in Shamrock Quay, Southampton, Hampshire England.
A comprehensive survey of the hull discovered corrosion inside caused mostly
by freshwater leakage in inaccessible sections of the hull. The hull was taken
back to bare metal inside and outside during 2022, and repainted in 2023. All
systems and services are being re engineered while retaining the original
character of the interior.
When launched in 1966, Rebel Lady was named Jolande. Jolande is the granddaughter of C. van Lent and the daughter of Jan (John) van Lent. Jolande van Lent plays
an active part in the heritage fleet today.
HISTORY
1999-2020
Keith and Janet Cockell have owned Rebel Lady since 1999 and have reinstated the main saloon with classic leather furniture, woodslate blinds and tartan carpets which compliments the wood panelled interior.
​
In the twenty years, Keith and Janet have travelled to London, Paris, Brest and the Isle of Scilly, plus many other ports in the Channel Islands, Brittany, Devon and Cornwall.
​
​She is stabilised by Vosper Fins and due to her weight and displacement hull, is very comfortable and seaworthy. Rebel Lady’s home port is St Katharine’s Docks, London having been a familiar site in Devon and Cornwall.
​
Rebel lady is completing a comprehensive refit in Shamrock Quay, Southampton and will be relaunched in the autumn of 2025.
The topsides have been finished in Awlcraft 2000 Snow white. The original Leyland Daff six-cylinder 200hp engines are being rebuilt and all new mechanical, electrical and domestic systems installed. Most of the original walnut panelling will remain, including the boarding ladder. More updates to come as we progress into the launch next summer.
