CLASS-J
YATCH ENDEAVOUR
This 130ft J Class sloop was launched in 1934. Designed and
built by Camper & Nicholsons, England as one of the yachts
to challenge the America's Cup she dominated the British racing
scene for many years and was always renowned as the most beautiful
J ever built. After those early glorious days of racing, Endeavour,
like many of the other Js was abandoned.
Until 1984 when American Yachtswoman Elizabeth Meyer set about
Endeavour's five year restoration. Endeavour is now an almost
total rebuild, although her lines and quality of workmanship
are consistent with the original. In all other ways, she is
a modern yacht with aluminum mast and boom, hydraulic winches,
powerful engine, generators, bow thrusters, etc., as well
as all the latest navigation and entertainment equipment. |
