About the ENDEAVOUR 52
As best as can be determined, a later, updated (and stretched) version of the ENDEAVOUR 51.
The Endeavour 52 is a substantial cruising sloop designed by Johan Valentijn and built by Endeavour International Inc. (USA) between 1989 and 1992. With a displacement of 35000.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 32.44, this vessel is engineered for stability and seakeeping rather than high-speed planing.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for serious coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize comfort and safety over speed, particularly those seeking a spacious interior within a robust, heavy-displacement hull.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 1.84 and a displacement of 35000.0 lb, the Endeavour 52 demonstrates strong offshore suitability, offering excellent stability and motion comfort in heavy weather.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Hallberg-Rassy 52 and the Swan 52, as they share similar production eras, heavy displacement characteristics, and a focus on bluewater cruising capability.
