We have previously posted an article about the Rainbow Class, design #1701. Here we have a modified version, called the Weekender and also classified as a MORC racer. Heres the brochure.

Aside from the addition of the fairly rudimentary "cruising" interior, the modification was fairly simple and included a blister on the coach roof as can be seen in the excerpt from the construction plan, and a heavier keel.

The boats were produced by Tidewater Boats of Annapolis, Maryland. We can see that the base price of a Rainbow in 64 was $2,695 and the Weekender model was $3,395, a $700 option.
