I was fortunate to get an up close look in Portland Maine early 90’s when Elizabeth had her in the harbor. Stunning in all regards.

To me, still the best example of the most beautiful class of racing yacht ever built, Endeavour ll is simple supreme. I recall reading, some years ago that in her 1934 challenge for the "America's Cup" she was taking the lead convincingly and had won the first race, or was it the first two races..? Anyhow apparently
actually during a crucial match in which the challenger "Endeavour" was substantially leading the American defender "Ranger", the New York Yacht Club unwilling to reliquish the unbroken hold on the "Old Jug", changed the rules in mid race in favour of their defender. When Sir Tom Sopwith, the owner of
"Endeavour" heard the news, he retired below decks utterly dejected an was not seen again during the race. He knes that he had a better, faster boat with an outstanding crew, but it was not enoughto defeat the duplicitous machinations of the New York Yacht Club…!!

Despite the controversial(?) history of "Endeavour", I remember being enthralled reading the account in an edition of "BOAT INTERNATIONAL" of her restoration at the "Royal Huisman"(?) yard in Holland, by American business woman and yacht enthusiast Elisabeth Meyer. It was wonderfully ironic that it should be an American, who had rescued and restored this magnificent yacht from ignomy, which had for many decades been the closest threat the U.S. had faced to it's long standing hold on "The America's Cup".
Apparently from what I remember, below decks at the time, "Endeavour" was little more than a cavernous
empty space and it was Ms. Meyer in conjunction with the yard who created the sumptuous yet appropriate 1930's yacht style interior. Salutations to Ms. Meyer for her foresight and dedication in restoring a true classic from yachting history…
