About the ENDURANCE 35 (BELLIURE)
A highly thought of long-distance cruiser that has been built of wood, steel, ferro and FRP by amateur and professional builders around the world. Available as cutter or ketch (cutter fore triangle) Specs above per Peter Ibold can vary by builder. Length overall with bow sprit: 12m / 39.37 ft
Designed by Peter Ibold and built by Vicente Belliure (ESP) and Stratimer (FRA), the Endurance 35 is a robust 1975-era cruiser with a production run of 160 hulls. Its heavy displacement and full keel design prioritize stability and seakeeping over speed, making it a classic example of 1970s European bluewater construction.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for experienced coastal cruisers and conservative bluewater passagemakers who prioritize safety, comfort, and heavy-weather capability over high-performance sailing.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 18607.0 lb, a capsize ratio of 1.66, and a full/long keel, the Endurance 35 is inherently stable and well-suited for offshore passages, though its performance is moderate.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Hallberg-Rassy 35 and the Tartan 36, as they share similar full-keel cutter configurations, heavy displacement characteristics, and a focus on offshore durability from the same era.
