However, the racing at these regattas was not serious enough to provide a real test of the yacht's ability, so her owner, Sopwith, arranged a private contest at Torbay with the only other 'J' Class able to provide real competition. Although \u003cem\u003eVelsheda\u003c\/em\u003e was fast, she proved to be no match for Sopwith's new yacht. Subsequently\u003cem\u003e Endeavour\u003c\/em\u003e raced for the America's Cup itself in Rhode Island against \u003cem\u003eRainbow\u003c\/em\u003e, the American defender. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClose, but ultimately unsuccessful, \u003cem\u003eEndeavour\u003c\/em\u003e was actually the only British 'J' Class to come close to taking the America's Cup from the Americans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n","brand":"STEVEN DEWS (British, born 1949)","offers":[{"title":"Ltd Edition Canvas","offer_id":55616675643734,"sku":"SDK97C-22377","price":650.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ltd Edition Canvas FRAMED (UK only)","offer_id":55616675676502,"sku":"SDK97CF-22377","price":775.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1048\/3050\/1206\/files\/Dews_20-_20End_20Rainbow_20-_20large_b7c9df6f-a971-4acf-be11-7ed5c5c06035.jpg?v=1791280145","url":"https:\/\/marineartists.co.uk\/products\/22377","provider":"Marine Artists","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
