J Class Hanuman

Private Collection

 Designed by Charles Nicholson for T.O.M Sopwith in 1936 Endeavour was of steel construction plated flush below and above the waterline

Compared to Ranger she was an out dated design

1968 Broken up

In 2009 a replica name Hanuman was launched. I saw her at 2013 and 2014 J Class Regatta at Palma were her races with Ranger were quite incredible to witness a real window back to the 1937 Americ’s Cup
