Two Tales of Endeavour
Britain has never been closer to winning the America's Cup.
In 1934 Sir Thomas Sopwith won the first two races; his yacht was Endeavour.
In 1978 John Amos , sailing enthusiast and boat restorer, bought a rusted, forgotten and half-flooded hulk lying in the mud up-river from Cowes. Sopwith's tale is told with archive film of some of the largest racing yachts ever built. John Amos 's story is a single-handed struggle against overwhelming odds. Both are true sagas of Endeavour.
