| Endeavour and Velsheda Racing in Torbay by Steven Dews Endeavour joined the racing circuit in 1934 in order to tune up for her planned attempt at the Americas Cup.

Although Velsheda was fast, she proved to be no match for Sopwiths new yacht. Signed limited edition of 395 prints. Image size 11 inches x 8 inches (28cm x 20cm). Price £72.00

| Rolex Swan Regatta (Crackerjack, Rounding the Buoy) by Steven Dews Crackerjack, a Swan 46 racing yacht is seen racing around the East Lepe buoy in the Solent during the challenging Rolex Swan European Regatta in 1997.

However, Crackerjack kept the pressure on the larger yachts and in recent years has won many prizes. She made a stunning sight, beating up the boisterous Solent during this breezy battle.

the South East by Steven Dews Depicting four Big Class yachts racing
off Dartmouth in August 1893 in a regatta organised by the Start Bay
Yacht Club. After an early lull, during the late
morning of the second day an opportune breeze blew which enabled all

defender. Close, but ultimately unsuccessful, Endeavour was actually the
only British 'J' Class to come close to taking the America's Cup from
the Americans.
