Enterprise was launched on 14 April 1930 and was later chosen as the United States yacht in their defence of the Americas Cup. Enterprise had lightweight rigging and was the fastest yacht of her time, her towering, majestic rigs would have left race watchers spellbound in that golden era of big race sailing. In answer to Thomas J. Lipton's challenge of 1929, the Americans designed four J-Class yachts as possible defenders. Enterprise, Whirlwind, Yankee and Weetamoe were launched within a month of each other. Enterprise was the first, launched on 14 April 1930, and was later chosen as the Cup defender. When designing Enterprise, Starling Burgess collected 20 years’ worth of information on races and analysed wind conditions to get an idea of what the conditions in the 1930 Cup might be.
