Somewhere over the Rainbow
The first Rainbow to be built in Victoria in close to fifty years was officially launched at the Western Beach Boat Club, itself a hidden treasure tucked away at the western end of the Geelong waterfront. Rainbow class yachts first appealed to youngsters because they could build one themselves, they were fast and thrilling to sail, cheap to build, and safe with good buoyancy compartments.
