After a long search we have found our perfect cruising sailboat, a 1978 Tartan 37 named Rainbow. After looking at 40+ boats over a 3 month period, this boat jumped out as the hands-down best. Owned for the last 17 years by Tom Schneider of Seattle, Rainbow shows pride of ownership in her excellent condition, both cosmetically and mechanically.We closed on Rainbow just before Thanksgiving, and moved her South to Olympia for the rest of the Winter. We'll use the next few months learning her inside and out, adding some equipment, and preparing her for a voyage outside and down the Washington coast to the Columbia River and our home port of St. Helens, OR.
