Everything Nautical proudly presents the Extra Large Endeavour Yacht. The Endeavour was the most impressive British sailboat to ever race in the America’s Cup World Series. Built for speed as well as beauty, the Endeavour was created in 1934 by Thomas Sopwith, the undisputed leader of the British aircraft industry. A magnificent model to be displayed in any home or office. Master craftsmen handcraft these highly detailed wood models from scratch using historical photographs, drawings and original plan. They are built to scale with high-grade wood such as: western red cedar, rosewood, and mahogany. They are 100% hand built individually using plank-on-frame construction method and are similar to the building of actual ships. Each model requires hundreds of hours to finish and must go through a demanding quality control process before leaving the workshop. This model requires partial assembly. The boat is assembled, but sails, rigging, and masts are laid down, resulting in a smaller shipping box, which results in less expensive shipping.
I am extremely satisfied with my order of the Endeavour! The product was easy to assemble, a quality piece and arrived in a timely manner. As important to me is the communication with the seller. Gary was right there with timely emails to answer my questions. I will recommend this company to others and go there for other nautical products! Thank you Everything Nautical! MG
The Endeavour model features beautiful hand stitched sails that extends all the way to the mast head. An elongated boom flows from the mast to the stern. There is a wooden cabin located in the middle of the deck. You can also spot a companionway that leads to the bottom hull. Various wooden winches are placed around the deck to wind up or out riggings when needed. The detailed stitched sail and intricate rigging complete the definition of a true sailing boat. The model is secured tightly on a solid wood base with a brass nameplate. The mast and sails are folded down for easy shipping. It’ll make a perfect gift for home or office decorator, boat enthusiast, or passionate collector.
The Endeavour was hailed as the most beautiful J-Class yacht ever built. She was the best and most impressive sailboat that Britain ever built to race in America’s Cup series. Even with an amateur crew, she came closer to winning the Cup than any other challenger up to that time. The Endeavour was a faster yacht than her contender Rainbow. She beat Rainbow the first two races. However, the American team was a much finer crew and defeated Endeavour all next three races by out-thinking her captain. When the Endeavour returned to England she continued to dominate the British racing scene until 1938 when she was laid up for the duration of World War II. Saved by Elizabeth Meyer of Newport, RI, today she is one of the most breathtaking sights on the water. To take helm of such a yacht is to experience pure power, grace, and speed.
