During Coronation Year, in September, 1937, there will be yet another race for the most elusive sporting trophy in the world --the America's Cup. The next British challenger, the now all. steel J Class yacht, Endeavour II., is being built this winter, and will have extensive trials during the coming summer at all the Royal Regattas around the Channel coasts, where thousands of holiday-makers will have a chance to watch the racing of this beautiful sailing ship.
