Instead of acceding to their demands, Sopwith decided to recruit an amateur crew instead. Two crew members were from the Outer Hebrides – Donald MacKillop and Angus MacLeod from our island of Berneray. Their contribution to the crew was such that both men went on to race with Sopwith on Endeavour II in the America’s Cup in 1937.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing discussions with French knitwear designer Lauriane Bernard, we agreed to name her Breton ‘yachting style’ striped, sweater Endeavour in honour of these Berneray men who participated in the America’s cup, an event that is to this day the pinnacle of yachting skill and glamour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can read about the full story in my blog: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/birlinn-yarn.myshopify.com\/pages\/blog\" title=\"HERE\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEndeavour is a timeless unisex sweater that is knitted seamlessly from the bottom up.
