About the ENDEAVOR 26 (LAPWORTH)

Designed by William Lapworth and built by W. D. Schock Corp. from 1963–1967, the Endeavor 26 is a compact fractional sloop with a production run of 56 hulls. Its lightweight displacement of 3200.0 lb and fin keel configuration reflect a design philosophy focused on performance and agility rather than heavy offshore comfort.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruising and daysailing, appealing to owners who prioritize ease of handling and trailerability over long-range bluewater endurance.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 3200.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.9, the Endeavor 26 is primarily a coastal cruiser with limited bluewater capability due to its light weight and short waterline.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Pearson 26 and O'Day 26, which share similar dimensions and eras, though the Endeavor distinguishes itself with a lighter displacement and fractional rig for better upwind performance.
