A Piece of Sailing History

Launched in 1851, the yacht America is one of the most iconic vessels in sailing history. Designed by James and George Steers for the New York Yacht Club, it was built to prove that innovation and naval engineering could surpass European tradition. That same year, America crossed the Atlantic to compete around the Isle of Wight against Britain’s finest fleet – and won so decisively that Queen Victoria’s famous question, “Who came second?” received the legendary reply: “Your Majesty, there is no second.”

This historic victory not only gave the America’s Cup its name but also transformed sailing into a technological and competitive sport. The America 1851 yacht model captures this defining moment, making it a must-have for maritime history lovers and model ship enthusiasts alike.

History of the Endeavour Yacht – America's Cup

The yacht Endeavour was designed and built in 1934 specifically to compete in the America's Cup, the world's most prestigious sailing competition. Its owner, renowned British industrialist Sir Thomas Sopwith, relied on innovation and the highest quality in an effort to bring Great Britain to the forefront of international yacht racing.

Endeavour stood out for its elegant design, state-of-the-art technology for its time and excellent racing characteristics. Although considered one of the favourites, Endeavour took part in one of the most exciting America's Cup finals and narrowly lost to the American defender Rainbow.

Who owned the yacht Endeavour? The famous yacht, built in 1934 for the America's Cup, belonged to Sir Thomas Sopwith, a well-known British industrialist and enthusiastic sailor.
