Boat Details
Description
International Dragon "Rainbow "
Built in 1992 by Petticrows for an Irish buyer she originally carried the number IRL 112 but on her return to the UK she was given the number GBR 686 and her name changed to "Ducru" . I changed her name back to "Rainbow " when I bought her from Abersoch in 2019.
Built in "Spheretex" extra stiff fibreglass (no longer allowed but grandfathered so still in class and IDA race approved) she has retained the stiffness of a much younger boat.
She had a major refit done in 2016 by Katie Cole of Petticrows and has only been sailed very lightly since, but kept immaculately maintained (latterly with the assistance of Martin Cruden Master boatbuilder). She was launched on May 1st this year and is currently lying in Findhorn; ready to go in full race trim & available for viewing/test sailing. She comes with a road trailer which doubles as a winter cradle.
Delivery within UK mainland (includes Skye!) by separate negotiation is a possibility.

Designed in 1929 the International Dragon is one of the most beautiful boats ever built.
