Today it was possible to spot Endeavour in Qingdao, China. The beautiful J came back in the marina (one of the rare Chinese marinas) at the end of the men's Windsurfing regatta for the Olympic Games. Tomorrow is the last day for the Olympic regattas.

Velsheda is currently in the Pendennis Shipyard at Falmouth and yesterday at 1100 11 August the coaster Sina B arrived from Zeebrugge with the Velsheda's new mast (and boom).

The hull of Lionheart was recently turned over at Freddie Bloemsma's yard in Holland. Now the hull of the future biggest J-Class (44m) is shipped to the Claasen yard where she will be finished. Here are some interesting links :

I did some checking on Endeavour and she has been removed from the US vessel registry, now registered in George Town, Cayman Islands.

Shamrock V was in Genoa Charter Yacht Show 2-6 May, looking quite excellent. She was presented there by Yachting Partners, and aims to charter West Med for 2006. Another restoration by Elizabeth Meyer, who led with Endeavour.

This is a link that shows all the J-Class history, distinguising the one that have been (sadly) scrapped and the ones that today survive : http://www.cupinfo.com/...

Endeavour has already her card in the database (http://www.yachtspotter.com...). She was recently spotted in Newport Shipyard. It seems that Shamrock V is berthed in Mallorca for the winter. I'm waiting for the confirmation.

The sailing yacht Endeavour is one of the most beautiful classic sailingboats today. She was part of the Legendary "America's Cup" in the early 30s where the famous "J-Class" was created (http://www.jclassyachts.com) Endeavour (1934) is a J-Class.
Today at least 6 other sisterships are known to be fully restored and still sailing/racing :
Velsheda (1933)
Shamrock V (1930)
Cambria (1928)
Astra (1928)
Candida (1929)
Also, there is a modern sistership replica built in 2004 by Danish Yachts from the design of the original 1937 America's Cup defender Ranger - http://www.sy-ranger.com
