Ship history
In 1934, Sopwith commissioned Endeavour, a 143-ton yacht with 721 m² of sail area. In 1937, he commissioned Endeavour II, designed by Charles Nicholson, to challenge Ranger for the America’s Cup, but the attempt was unsuccessful.
The original Endeavour II no longer exists. Dykstra & Partners of Amsterdam created a faithful replica complying fully with the JCA (J Class Association) rules, Hanuman, based on the original yacht.
