Endeavour
The name Endeavour was used for two yachts for challanging the
Amerca's Cup. Both ships where owned by the Britisch millionair
Mr T.O.M. Sopwitch.
The first ship was a J-class yacht of 143 tonnes designed by Charless
E. Nicjolson and build in 1933 by Camper and Nicholson in Gosport
(UK).
Although she did not beat the Amercan yacht Rainbow in 1934, many
believed she was the fastest
sailing ship of the race.
After WWII the ship was in a bad condition. Was sold again and
again. Til 1986 when Endeavour was restaurated. Nowadays the yacht
makes cruises all over the world.
