As with the Watson-designed Shamrock II in 1901, which was the first boat to be designed following numerous towing-tank tests, the Burgess-designed Rainbow was the first J to be conceived according to the same principles: during two months in 1931, at the tank-test facilities at the University of Michigan, dozens models were tested by William Starling Burgess. After the 1934 America's Cup, Rainbow was laid up in dry dock for two years in Bristol, and then refitted by Vanderbilt as trial horse. Sold to Chandler Hovey in 1937, to race the defender selection trials, but Ranger eliminated it. Rainbow was laid up at the end of 1937 at Herreshoff Manufacturing in Bristol and then it was sold for scrap in 1940.
