Raindancer is currently documented in the United States, but over the years her ownership has meandered between Canadians and Americans, occasionally under the most of unusual circumstances.
During this time she has cruised the Mediterranean and the Caribbean, Europe and North America from Florida to northern Nova Scotia. She has participated in many antique/classic yachting functions as well as being invited to several international marine festivals.
