THE NEW ENDEAVOUR
The pick of the crews of British Jclass cutters will probably be available for Mr. T. O. M. Sopwith when he chooses those who will sail his Endeavour 11, the challenger in the America Cup races in July. His former yacht Endeavour I, now owned by Mr. H. A. Andrae, will act as a trial horse for Endeavour II during the final trials in United States waters. Mr. Andrae has lent Endeavour I to Mr. P. Hill and Mr. F. Sigrist, members of th 3 Eoyal Thames Yacht Club. Mr. Sopwith himself is concerned in a syndicate which will bear the whole expense of fitting out the yacht and sailing her to America. ■ Of Britain's J-class cutters, Britannia has gone, Shamrock V and Candida have been in the sale list for some time, and in the circumstances it is almost certain that Mr. W. L. Stephenson's Velsheda and Mr. H. H. Paul's Astra will not be fitted out. Mr. Sopwith, therefore, is expected to have a wide choice for his crew for Endeavour 11. Mr. Paul has already offered the services of his skipper, Captafn Edward Heard, to sail Endeavour 11.
