ENDEAVOUR 

From the moment she was launched in 1934, Endeavour was hailed as the most beautiful J-Class yacht ever built.

When she returned to England after participating in the America’s Cup race she continued to dominate the British racing scene until 1938 when she was laid up for the duration of World War II.

Endeavor suffered many indignities, sold for scrap in 1947; she was saved just hours before her scheduled demolition.   During the 70's she sank in the Medina River in Cowes, and again, at the eleventh hour, she was bought for ten pounds British sterling by two carpenters who patched the holes in her hull with plastic bags and she was refloated. In the early 80's she was stored in an abandoned seaplane base. Despite all of the neglect Endeavor managed to survive until Elizabeth Meyer of Newport Rhode Island brought her in 1984. After a five-year $10 million dollar restoration to her former splendor Endeavour sailed again on June 22, 1989 for the first time in fifty-two years.

Endeavour is now owned by a private corporation and used as a charter boat.  It’s said, 

“Endeavour is a magnificent sight when under full sail and one of the most powerful yachts in the Caribbean. This high performance is matched by her truly elegant accommodation and extremely high standard of catering, service and facilities. She has 9 person crew.

This is not a toy and must be kept away from children.

Minor assembly required.
