The tide turned for the Americans when the British made some wrong decisions in which the Rainbow, as the underdog, took the next 4 heats and with it the overall victory. The Americans appeared at the start with the Rainbow, a single mast racing yacht built in 1930. The British were the all-time favourite with their Endeavor yacht which was recognised as the fastest yacht at the time and with which they immediately took home the first 2 series that year. As an aside, the America’s Cup sailing competition was formerly called the “Auld Mug”, making it the oldest international sports trophy in the world.ĭuring the 1934 race, the New York Yacht Club was challenged by the British Royal Yacht Squadron. Let’s see if a pot of gold awaits.įirst of all, why the name Rainbow? For that we have to return to 1934 when the America’s Cup sailing competition was held. I will start from its very inception and take you all the way to the end of the Rainbow. In this article I will give you an overview of the key facts and figures concerning this line of flavourful sports watches developed by Zenith. A watch developed in the nineties, not widely known, yet no less interesting. As a Zenith enthusiast I would like to contribute to the knowledge about the Zenith El Primero Rainbow.
