Rainbow II is a 168′ 5″ / 51m Dutch made aluminium sloop platform sail yacht project under construction and scheduled to be delivered in 2024 by Turkish shipyard TURQUOISE YACHTS.

Rainbow II, a 51 metre sloop pays homage to the era of the big classic yachts of the early 1900s, offering a back-to-the-roots classical sailing experience packed with contempary comfort features.

Rainbow II began her life in the Netherlands prior to the hull being purchased by Turquoise Yachts. Since becoming a Turquoise project, the 51m schooner platform has been re-designed by Dykstra Naval Architects as a new modern day sloop, with an interior designed by deVosdeVries design, and is currently under construction at the Turquoise Yachts Istanbul shipyard.

Her long overhangs and elegant sheer line give her a distinct classic appearance, while the high bulwarks provide a smooth and pleasurable experience while under way. The main deckhouse salon will provide guests with sweeping views all around, while the adjacent main cockpit offers a cozy place to enjoy the sailing and ample space for al-fresco dining. The modern sloop rig results in efficient sailing performance, using modern technology to ensure easy and safe handling of the sails. A side-boarding platform allows easy access to the sea as well as tender boarding.

The 51m sloop pays homage to the era of the big sailing yachts of the early 1900’s, offering a back-to-the-roots classic sailing experience, packed with contemporary features for absolute comfort with accommodations for up to twelve guests and 9 crew.

The 51m sloop’s sumptuous semi-classic interior offers ample space for large families. The interior styling is lightly reminiscent of the historic big class racing yachts, with a general finish of lacquered mahogany and delicate panel detailing on the main walls and cabinetry. Finer detailing is enriched with ebony inlays and burl veneer tops. The main deck salon has windows all-round, providing light to the interior and gives excellent views. With a dining table seating 12, lounge area, a pantry and direct connection to the large exterior cockpit, the salon will be the focal point of the boat.

The crew area is located forward of the mast and houses the galley, crew mess and 4 cabins, sleeping 9 crew. A dedicated crew entrance provides access to the foredeck. The aft deckhouse will be predominantly for crew use and houses the navigation area. While at anchor the aft cockpit can double as an extended owner’s area.

The full width owner’s stateroom is situated aft with a large double bed directly below a skylight. Further forward along the large central corridor, there are 4 cabins: a VIP, two twins and a double, each with its own dedicated bathroom. The lower deck lounge on portside serves as an entertainment area and incorporates dayhead functionality. The sofa can be converted in order to sleep an additional two persons, which brings the total number of guests to twelve. Please contact use for further details.
