Endeavour Model Yacht (Superior Range) – PSM

Description

Handcrafted, scratch built and ready made Endeavour Model yacht

The J-class yacht especially reserved for the elite and wealthy yachtsmen was said to be one of the top rated yachts designed in the 1930s. These yachts were famous for competing with the best players for the America’s Cup and the Endeavour J Class Yacht was said to be one of the best vessels ever built. However, during the period 1930-1937, a number of alterations, like duplication of winches and the use of Duralium for the wing-mast were made to increase the efficiency of the yacht. Charles Ernest Nicholson made a great contribution to the miles covered by the J class yachts as he helped to improve the quality of these yachts.
