Rebel 16 Jibs

Rebel 16 Racing & Cruising Jibs

At Mad Sails, we engineer our jibs to provide a powerful, forgiving entry that helps you point higher and accelerate faster. Hand-built in our local loft, these jibs are designed to stand up to the unique loads of the Rebel 16 forestay while providing a clear view of the race course.

Performance Options:

Rebel 16 Racing Jib

Maximize your upwind VMG with our elite racing jib. Built from Dimension Polyant HTP® plus, this sail is the ultimate choice for competitive fleets.

• Stable Entry: The high-tenacity ripstop weave prevents “stretch-out,” keeping your luff shape crisp even as the breeze builds.

• Low-Stretch Performance: Engineered for shape retention, allowing for precise leech control and better pointing ability.

• Large Radial Vision Window: Every Mad Rebel 16 race jib comes standard with an oversized radial window. This significantly improves leeward visibility, helping you spot crossing boats and marks to reduce the risk of collision and increasing line sight at the starts.

Rebel 16 Cruising Jib

For the day sailor who values durability and performance. Our cruising jib is built from a sturdy 5 oz Dimension Polyant sailcloth that is designed for seasons of trouble-free use.

• Durable Construction: A heavier yet more supple weave that resists UV damage and handling wear.
• Vision Window: Standard size window on every cruising jib for safety and situational awareness.
• Custom Color Options: Just like our mainsails, cruising jibs are available in a variety of vibrant colors to give your Rebel 16 a custom look (available upon request).

What’s Included with Every Rebel 16 Jib:

• Vision Window: Either radial or standard for maximum safety.

• Class Compliance: Every jib includes the required $10 Rebel Class royalty tag.

• Ready-to-Sail: High-visibility tell-tales, sail tie, and a breathable bag for storage.
