						Cruising the Caribbean 
						
						
						Rainbow Spirit has 
						been a truly lovely yacht keeping us safe in all 
						conditions and has been the realisation of our dreams. 
						She has been fully maintained by us throughout her 12 
						year history and she is in lovely condition. She is 
						currently lying at anchor in the tropical island of Bequia where we are presently building our Caribbean 
						Villa, ‘Tropical Hideaway’. This very time consuming, 
						yet rewarding experience has meant that Rainbow Spirit 
						has been at anchor, or on the hard rather longer than we had planned. 
						She is getting restless and would like to move on to new 
						adventures. 
						
						Rainbow Spirit has 
						been featured in several of Oyster’s own House magazines 
						which has documented our adventurous circumnavigation 
						around the world with our three young daughters. She has 
						proved to be a very seaworthy, forgiving and reliable boat 
						and after her extensive refit in late 2006 early 2007 
						costing in excess of $50,000US, she is now ready to become 
						the realisation of your dreams. She is extensively 
						equipped for ocean sailing and is equally happy taking 
						you serious blue water sailing or leisurely cruising 
						around the Caribbean, whichever is your preferred dream.
