Sailpages Buyer's Take

Designed by Johan Valentijn and built by Endeavour Yacht Corp. (USA) from 1984–1990, the Endeavour 38 CC is a robust cruising sloop with a displacement of 17600.0 lb. While the exact number of hulls built is unknown, the model is characterized by its heavy displacement and fin keel design.

Best for:
This boat suits coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize stability and comfort over high-speed performance, benefiting from its high comfort ratio of 27.76 and substantial ballast of 6999.5 lb.
Bluewater capability:
With a low capsize ratio of 1.93 and a displacement-to-length ratio of 239.78, the Endeavour 38 CC is well-suited for bluewater cruising, offering inherent stability and motion comfort in heavy weather.
Comparables:
Comparable to other heavy-displacement American cruising sloops from the 1980s, such as the Cal 40 or O'Day 38, due to similar beam (12.51 ft) and displacement characteristics that favor seakindliness.
