Need Pics of Anyone's 13' Rainbow Daysailer

moonlightsailor · 06-11-2009, 22:02

Greetings!
I recently was able to pick up a 1970, 13' Rainbow daysailer. The manufacturer is Rainbow Yachts out of Sacramento, CA back in 1970. There isn't any rigging on the boat for main sheet or jib sheet and I'm looking for any photos of one that's been restored to original layout or something similiar. Thanks!

Not in Sacramento; but there’s a Rainbow Marine in Battle Ground, WA, who make a 13' daysailer.

Thanks for your research Gord but I'm pretty sure that's not the same company.

I just did a search for Rainbow Yachts in the CA corp database. It was started in 1968 but has been place in a suspended status. There's a business address but I doubt it's valid.

So, I'm still in search of another photo of a Rainbow Yacht in the approximate length of 13ft. Anyone else?

Is this the boat ?

Sorry, that's not the boat...thanks for post though.

Here's a photo of the rainbow 13 that I bought. It's fiberglass. This is the first day I went to check her out. We've already bought the access ports to install to get main sheet tackle installed. I just don't want to jump the gun and install something somewhere where I'll regret it and then have to move it later. Go Chargers! Die Broncos!!!
