The Enterprise was designed to be the largest and fastest racing yacht of its time. It was designed by Nat Herreshoff and Starling Burgess who took great pride in creating the 80 foot long J-boat. This ship won a clean sweep of four races in 1930 to maintain the 80 year record of uninterrupted ownership of the America's Cup.
The Endeavour is a J-class yacht built for the 1934 America's Cup by Camper and Nicholson in Gosport, England. She was built for Thomas Sopwith who used his aviation design expertise to ensure the yacht was the most advanced of its day with a steel hull and mast. She was 130-foot (40 m) and launched in 1934 and won many races in her first season including against the J's Velsheda and Shamrock V. She failed in her America's Cup challenge against the American defender Rainbow but came closer to lifting the cup than any other until Australia II succeeded in 1983.
The sailboats measure 15" L x 2.5" W x 21 H"
