    Rainbow was designed by W Starling Burgess and launched in 1934 from the Herreshoff yard where she was built in just 100 days. Commissioned and skippered by Harold "Mike" Vanderbilt, Rainbow raced against T.O.M. Sopwith's Endeavor. Losing the first two races, Rainbow went on to win the next four and the cup. Designed by the Starling Burgess and built at the Herreshoff Mfg. Company in Bristol, RI.
