Endeavour
In 1984, Elizabeth Meyer bought the shipwreck of this famous
1934 British America's Cup challenger.
After 5 years of hard work, Endeavour looked like a brand new boat...
even nicer than she originally was!
I personally met Mrs. Meyer in Newport, RI in 1997 and I was very
impressed by her passion for classic sailing boats.
She also founded the International Yacht Restoration School in
Newport .
I also wanted to pay a tribute to designer Charles Nicholson's
1934 masterpiece.
