Character

Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.

LivelySea-kindly

Her heavy displacement on a moderate beam gives 37 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.

Comfort ratio 37
CoastalBluewater

1.71 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.

Capsize screening 1.71
LightHeavy

331 — heavy for her waterline, built to carry stores and ride steadily.

Displacement / length 331
EasygoingPowered-up

12.5 — modest power for her weight; easygoing rather than lively, and happier with a breeze.

Sail area / displacement 12.5
TenderStiff

40% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.

Ballast 40%

Built heavy and sea-kindly — a boat made to cross oceans and forgive a rough night.

  • Heavier than ~83% of boats her size on file
  • Draws less than ~94% of boats her size on file

Compared with 2964 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.

The Endeavour 37 is a masthead sloop designed by Dennis Robbins and Creekmore, built by Endeavour Yacht Corp. from 1977 to 1983. Its hull plug originated from a Creekmore 34, lengthened by three feet in the mid-section. The boat measures 11.3 meters LOA, with a 3.5-meter beam, 1.4-meter draft, and 9071 kg displacement. Early production models of the Endeavour 37 have exhibited fiberglass delamination and structural weaknesses.8:09 Lady K Sailing considers the Endeavour 37 a durable, heavy-displacement option suitable for Great Lakes sailing, where its single-spreader sloop rig simplifies mast-down storage.8:13
