History of the Yacht
Endeavour
The
yacht Endeavour was
built in 1934 as a J-class racing yacht by Camper & Nicholson in Portsmouth,
England, for Thomas
Sopwith, who sailed her in the 1934 America's Cup race. She lost in that
race, but won many others.
In 1937 she was laid up, until she was bought in 1984 by Elizabeth Meyer who
undertook a five year rebuild. Endeavour sailed again in 1989 and has taken part
in regattas since.
The LA BELLE model,
photos, description and dimensions
The ship
model was built to plans of
Bernd Jocham.
Please take your time to have a good look at
the set of photos. There are
several views of the entire ship model taken from all directions, and several
closer views of hull, deck and
rigging. If you click on a photo you will get that photo in high
resolution. Only these high resolution photographs show how much work and
handicraft ability were put in the model.
Viewing the high resolution photos: If you use Microsoft Internet
Explorer or Firefox, press F11 to minimize navigation bars and have a
larger screen with the photos. The high resolution photos are about 12
megapixel. So they are about 10 - 20 times larger than your 0.5 - 1.3
megapixel computer
screen. Most browsers by default downsize the pictures to screen
size, so you cannot see all the details of the ship models. To see the original
resolution move the mouse over the pictures and click on the magnifying
lens.
This model
of the Endeavour is a first class work piece, a very fine ship model, clearly showing the elegant lines of
the yacht. The
model is 1 : 35 scale.
Length is 115 cm, width 22 cm, height 163 cm.
Price of the ship model
and transport
The price of
the model is 2500 Euro, plus transport cost.
Shipping the Endeavour a crate by some
package delivery company can be done. Picking up the ship with your car may be a good way, too.
The ship model was built by:
Rudolf Ferlemann, Muenster, Germany, Tel. +49 251 24220, r.ferlemann@web.de
Please contact him, if you are interested in the ship model. Mr. Ferlemann
speaks only a little English. If you feel your German is good enough or if you
could find somebody to communicate with him in German to get the details of
paying and transport right, then you should call them directly or send an email
to him. Otherwise call me (Michael Czytko, Tel. +49 2361 59757, michael.czytko@t-online.de
). I would do some translating.
