Endeavour 40

The Endeavour was the most impressive British sailboat to ever race in the America’s Cup World Series. Built for speed as well as beauty, the Endeavour was created in 1934 by Thomas Sopwith, the undisputed leader of the British aircraft industry. A magnificent model to be displayed in any home or office.

Master craftsmen meticulously handcraft these highly detailed wood models using historical photographs, drawings, and original plans when possible. Each one is individually built to scale with high-grade wood such as western red cedar, rosewood, and mahogany using a plank-on-frame construction method similar to the building of actual ships. Every model requires hundreds of hours to finish and must go through a demanding quality control process before leaving the workshop.

The Endeavour model features beautiful hand stitched sails that extend all the way to the mast head. The deck is made out of wood planks that are carefully pieced symmetrically for a beautiful finish. An elongated boom flows from the mast to the stern. There is a wooden cabin located in the middle of the deck. You can also spot a companionway that would lead to the bottom hull. Various wooden winches are placed around the deck to wind up or out riggings when needed. The detailed stitched sail and intricate rigging complete the definition of a true sailing boat. The model is secured tightly on a solid wood base with a brass nameplate. The mast and sails are folded down for easy shipping.
