On Monday July 19th Rainbow JH2 was transported on a barge to Holland Jachtbouw in Zaandam. Zwartsluis based HEBO took care of the transport, across the IJsselmeer and through Amsterdam.
The 40 meter yacht, designed by Dykstra & Partners, is now on a cradle inside Holland Jachtbouw where she will be finished.
Early 2012 Rainbow will be launched and rigged. Immediately afterwards test sailing and crew training will commence off Ijmuiden.
At the J class event at Fallmouth and Cowes in June 2012 Rainbow JH2 will be able to compete against her sister ships for the first time. During the Olympic Games in England, Rainbow is available for (day)charters.
