Enterprise

After the end of World War I, America's Cup racing resumed with a new set of rules designed to balance hull length, sail area, and hull shape to produce safer and more seaworthy boats. These developments found application in the huge racing yachts known as the J -Class. Nothing like them had ever been seen before; no yachts so awesome have been built since. Their parachute spinnakers, as large as 18,000 square feet, were the largest sails ever made. The Enterprise was the largest and fastest of these. Racing against Shamrock V, she won a clean sweep of four races, maintaining the 80-year possession of America's Cup. Our model is 36 inches long and stands 52 inches high. Painted in white lacquer above the waterline, yellow lacquer below. Mounted on a mahogany stained wood stand. Authentic Models.
