HANUMAN – sure to show up in Newport someday!
Comments Off03/20/09
Hanuman, the replica new build of Endeavour II, was launched last week at the Royal Huisman yard in The Netherlands. Designed by Dykstra and Partners, and with an interior by Pieter Beeldsnijder; she made a dramatic appearance as she was lowered into the water.
She was launched alongside the shipyard to step the mast and check all the rigging systems, prior to moving the yacht to the North Sea for commissioning and sea trials.
In 1937 the original Endeavour II was built in steel at Camper & Nicholson’s yard in Gosport, for T.O.M. Sopwith, to designs by Charles E Nicholson. She was built to challenge for the America’s Cup, against the defender ‘Ranger’.
