About the ENDEAVOUR 37
According to a number of sources, the 'plug' for the ENDEAVOUR 37 came from a CREEKMORE 34 that had been cut in half and had three feet added to the mid-section.
The Endeavour 37 is a robust, heavy-displacement cruising sloop designed by Dennis Robbins/Creekmore and built by Endeavour Yacht Corp. (USA) between 1977 and 1983, with a total production of 476 hulls. Its substantial 20000.0 lb displacement and 8000.0 lb ballast contribute to a stable, comfortable ride, making it a classic choice for owners seeking a solid, traditional bluewater platform.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize stability, comfort, and carrying capacity over high-speed performance, particularly those looking for a well-proven, heavy-displacement vessel for extended passages.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 1.71, a high displacement/length ratio of 330.69, and a fin keel, the Endeavour 37 demonstrates strong inherent stability and seaworthiness, making it well-regarded for offshore passages despite its age.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Cal 40 and the O'Day 38, as they share similar production eras, heavy displacement characteristics, and a focus on comfortable, stable cruising rather than racing performance.
