The Endurance 35 was designed in 1970 by Peter Ibold of France,
and has - in slightly varying forms - sometimes called the Endurance
35, 37 or 38 - remained in production ever since by a number of
builders worldwide. The actual overall length is around
42 feet. The rig can be either ketch, sloop or cutter, this being
a GRP bermudan cutter. She is a classic heavyweight offshore
cruising yacht, with the design accent firmly on seakeeping ability.
|
|
She is actually 42 ft overall, with bowsprit and davits, and
37 ft on deck. The GRP hull is extremely heavily laid up,
and above the waterline finished in 'imitation planking' effect.
The example shown here was built by De Kleer Yachts of Canada.
Until the mid-2000s versions of these yachts were still in production by Belliure in Spain.

Many have also been built in ferrocement, including a fair number
of factory-built boats, by Windboats of England. Good ferro examples,
whether professionally or amateur built, are immensely strong
and no heavier than any other construction method, and the construction
method has many advantages for extended cruising. Ferro construction
has however been given a bad name by many poorly built amateur
boats

A short timber bowsprit provides
anchor stowage and extends the sailplan. This example is cutter
rigged, with oversized roller reefing gear on the outer forestay.
The inner (stemhead) forestay has roller furling. A trim-tab
vane gear provides both self-steering and an emergency rudder.

With so many different builders, interior layouts vary - the
pictures below at present show just one yacht
|

The internal layout of the saloon has a single quarter berth
to starboard, forward of which is a large dinette style table
which seats four comfortable, and converts to a large double berth
if required. To port is the chart table and seat, and a
large galley with gimbaled two burner, oven and grill cooker,
twin stainless sinks, and a large freezer.
|
 |
The chart table and galley are to port, the galley having twin
sinks, cooker, good workspace, and a large refrigerated coolbox
Below: Forward of this the sleeping cabin has one double and
one single berth, and forward again is the heads and washbasin,
with shower. Forward again is a storage area, from which
the separate anchor locker is accessed.
