Endeavour racing Velsheda and the schooner Westward off Cowes, 1920

Endeavour was designed by Charles Nicholson and built by Camper & Nicholson at Gosport in 1934. Ordered by Mr. T.O.M. 'Tommy' Sopwith to mount a challenge for the America's Cup, she displaced 143 tons aand measured 129 feet in length with a 22 foot beam. Fortunately she is one of a hanful of great yachts from that golden pre-War era which has survived and, fully restored, is now in American ownership.
