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. |
