The J class yachts are some of the beloved of the America’s Cup Wooden Sailboats because they represent an excellent compromise between seaworthiness and speed. The original 40-metre Rainbow yacht won the 1934 America’s Cup and the replica of one of the most beautiful racing yachts was recreated at Holland Jachtbouw, Netherlands in 2012. Our wooden Rainbow model looks to bring its fascinating history to life in miniature level. This handmade model, adorned with finely-crafted features and graceful lines, is an ideal gift for sailboat lovers or makes a stunning decoration for your room or office.
