Endeavour, a 130-foot J
Class sloop, was commissioned by Sir T.O.M. Sopwith and built by Camper &
Nicholson at Gosport England to challenge for the America's Cup in 1934. Having
prepared his campaign in Shamrock V, Sopwith was keen to ensure that this yacht
was the most advanced design possible. With his experience designing aircraft
Sopwith applied aviation technology to Endeavour's rig and winches and spared
nothing to make her the finest vessel of her day. From launching in 1934 she
continued her preparation by competing against Shamrock V (then owned by Sir
Richard Fairey) and the newly launched Velsheda (owned by W.L Stephenson). She
swept through the British racing fleet and into the hearts of yachtsmen the
world around, winning many races in her first season. Like many before her,
Endeavour did not win the Cup but she came closer to doing so than any other
challenger. NOTES AMERICA-SCOOP : LICENCE : Autorisation de l'auteur demandée le 05/04/2019 En attente d'une réponse. |
