Pics of Pathfinder now in NW USA
Pathfinder 1st, Runaway 2nd and Rainbow 3rd
NZ clean sweep 1971 Hobart
Rainbow now restored in NZ.
Up to someone!
Rainbow 2 after restoration in the last few years.
Was brought back to NZ from overseas in bad shape.
Only one that matters there is prop and shaft.
Rest is nothing.
it will be a motor sail home unless you are going west about
I can give you some headsails
just might need some hanks.
Someone has to save it sitting up there before the next summer.
Or the truck would be surprising cheap as it is a long straight forward trip and doubt it is that wide to need a full escort.
i like the sound of the triple diagonal nz cowrie epoxied .......... Lidgard has produced some wonderfull yachts with that method .
she looks like a good project for someone !!!!

Pedant switch "ON".....
It was Wai Aniwa that was third, in the hands of Bouzaid. He had sold Rainbow II to Bermuda soon after she won the OTC in Heligoland. He then switched to sailing the newer and bigger Carter design Wai Aniwa which was provided by a sponsor, Ray Walker. Wai Aniwa is still sailing and racing in NZ.
Pedant switch "off"....sort of.
Incidentally, one of the accounts of the Kiwi trials for the 1971 One Ton world championships notes that Runaway had been measured just before the trials and had to cut her sail area down dramatically. She performed very well later in the series, as she did at times when chartered to Germany for the world titles.
We have to take it to the judges, but happy to stand corrected as I think you are right and I got it wrong
One source says you are correct but the CYCA record does not list Wia Aniwa as a competitor in 1971.
I will try to dig out an old Race Programme.
Pedant switch off
Cheers Chris
