The provided stand facilitates the presentation of the yacht Endeavour on a shelf, in a showcase, or as part of a collection of naval models.

The model can also be placed in a maritime diorama dedicated to sailboats, provided an environment suitable for its actual dimensions is prepared, which are not specified here.

The history of the yacht Endeavour, challenger of the America's Cup in 1934

A British sailboat against the Rainbow

Launched in 1934, the yacht Endeavour was designed by Charles E. Nicholson and funded by Sir Thomas Sopwith, a British industrialist also known for his role in aviation.

The sailboat was meant to represent the United Kingdom in the America's Cup.

It won the first two races against the Rainbow, the American boat holding the title, before losing the series with a score of 4-2.

This campaign remains a significant episode in the history of competitive sailing.

An innovative design for its time

The yacht Endeavour was notably distinguished by its steel hull and mast, a technical approach associated with Sir Thomas Sopwith's experience in aeronautical engineering.

The OcCre model allows discovering this historic sailboat through an assembly and display reproduction.
