Product description:
This kit helps anyone who has not yet built a wooden ship model but wants to contribute their own craftsmanship to a museum-quality model. The manufacturer has already completed the most demanding task: building the hull. You only need to construct the superstructure, masts and sails and, if desired, paint the model.
If you have already built a few models and are looking for a new challenge, this kit offers an opportunity to develop your ship modelling skills. The materials used in this wooden model largely match those of the original ship. The parts are assembled using glue and nails.
The plans supplied in the box guide you through construction step by step in English and Italian.
Laser-cut parts ensure accurate dimensions.
Paint and glue are not included.
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. However, Dykstra & Partners of Amsterdam created a faithful replica complying fully with the JCA (J Class Association) rules, Hanuman, based on the original yacht.
