Rainbow, built in 1992 by Petticrows for an Irish buyer, she originally carried the number IRL112 but on her return to the UK she was renamed Ducru and given GBR686.

Built in Spheretex extra stiff fibreglass, which has since been banned ( but grandfathered so still in class and race legal) her hull retains the stiffness of a much younger boat.

She had a major refit by Katie Cole in 2016 and has only been sailed very lightly since , but kept immaculately maintained by Ali Edwards in Abersoch until 2019 and then by David Stevenson (with the help of Martin Cruden).

She was launched on May 1st and is currently lying in Findhorn, ready to go, in full race trim and available for viewing/test sailing. She comes with a road trailer which doubles as a winter cradle.
Delivery within the UK mainland by separate negotiation is a possibility.

Thorough service by Katie Cole, 2024. Fully equipped and ready to race.
