Yacht for sale : RAINBOW

The Rainbow yacht is a modern replica of the famous 1934 J Class designed by William Starling Burgess. Launched in 2012 by the Holland Jachtbouw shipyard, she boasts innovative hybrid propulsion, a luxurious Art Deco interior and exceptional racing performance. With a length of 39.95 metres, she offers elegant accommodation for 6 to 8 guests and as many crew members. Rainbow has won several awards, including Best Naval Architecture at the 2013 Showboat Design Awards and Best Sailing Yacht over 40 metres at the 2013 World Superyacht Awards.
