Join the roomEndeavour es un yate de clase J construido para la America's Cup de 1934 por Camper and Nicholson en Gosport, Inglaterra. Fue construido para Thomas Sopwith, quien utilizó su experiencia en diseño aeronáutico para asegurar que el yate fuera el más avanzado de su época con un casco y mástil de acero. Medía 130 pies (40 m) y fue botado en 1934, y ganó muchas carreras en su primera temporada, incluidas contra los J Velsheda y Shamrock V. Falló en su desafío por la America's Cup contra el defensor estadounidense Rainbow, pero se acercó más a levantar la copa que cualquier otro hasta que Australia II lo logró en 1983.
“In all human affairs there are efforts, and there are results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result. Chance is not. Gifts, powers, material, intellectual, and spiritual possessions are the fruits of effort; they are thoughts completed, objects accomplished, visions realized.”
“To rank the effort above the prize may be called love.”
“The mode in which the inevitable comes to pass is through effort.”
“He has called on the best that was in us. There was no such thing as half-trying. Whether it was running a race or catching a football, competing in school—we were to try. And we were to try harder than anyone else. We might not be the best, and none of us were, but we were to make the effort to be the best. “After you have done the best you can,” he used to say, “the hell with it.””
“And that the human being attains only what he strives for.”
“Fanaticism consists in redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim.”
