Hard to call it a rib, but also to dub it a boat. It is a border-line product in many ways, compared to other types of inflatable or rigid boats.
Sacs Rebel 47 gets the best of maxi-ribs and launches a new concept of boat, something never seen before.
Sacs Rebel 47
Sacs Rebel 47 comes from the request of customers demanding more customization, more space, more protection against the whims of the weather still not eager to move into the sphere of rigid boats. Requests that have come in unison, both by those looking for a maxi-tender and by those who use it to cruise overnight or just in daytime. Thus was born Rebel Sacs 47 new but mindful of the lessons and experience of Strider family. Add to this the design by Christian Grande, and you can be sure that everything has been studied up to the smallest detail.
The hull comes from the experience of maxi-ribs from Sacs, but the novelty is in the superstructure built with “D” shaped, closed-cell tubulars, pre-formed and covered with a plastic coating and then by a layer of Hypalon neoprene in order to get a family feeling with ribs and create a rubbing strake on the entire perimeter of the boat. The “D” section, with the curved element on the outside, increases the interior space and creates two protected and well-sized passageways. As for the hardtop, it’s part of the customization requested by customers.
Engine-wise, the choice is big, it can be propelled by two Volvo Penta D6 400 HP with Duoprop stern and G5 propellers. Alternatives come in the form of two petrol 8.2 l Mercury, 430 §HP each with Bravo Three stern, or if you want to exaggerate, Cummins QSB 6.7 l 550 HP with Arneson Surface Drives, to fly up to 50 knots.
The deck layout is that of a walkaround. Worth a mention are the large garage for a tender or some water toys or scuba gear, and the two luxurious chaise-longues to bow, which along with the large solarium make the front part of Sacs rebel 47 the place to be.
Sacs Rebel 47: interiors
On a boat that wants to be totally customizable, interiors can’t be dubbed as “standard.” Processing of materials, their combination, and the layout stand out for the versatility of the proposal. For a couple, the fore cabin could be set up as a dinette, as more berths (up to three) are housed amidships, with pretty good air, while the head is worthy of a superyacht.
