Looking for boats-Rainbow IV & Wildcat
 
Hi All,

Got a call from a man who has restored old wooden raceboats he brought up and is looking for 2 that used to be on Winni many years ago-Rainbow IV and another called Wildcat.

Any help appreciated on learning more about them.

I've sent you a PM. NB

I'm going to take a guess that Rainbow IV (The Original) is no more. There IS a modern replica with the same name however. There is an unwritten rule among enthusiasts that if someone builds a "Replica" of a boat that still exists, that she not bear the original name. :) NB
