About the ENDURANCE 37
Same as ENDURANCE 35 w/cutter rig and different interior.
Designed by Peter Ibold and built by Freedom Yacht Inc., the Endurance 37 is a robust cruising cutter with a production run limited to 1974. With a displacement of 18000.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 39.0, this vessel is engineered for stability and seakeeping rather than high-speed planing.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for serious coastal cruisers and offshore adventurers who prioritize a heavy, stable platform over speed, particularly those seeking a cutter rig for versatile sail handling.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 1.68 and a high displacement-to-length ratio of 423.6, the Endurance 37 is well-regarded for bluewater cruising due to its heavy displacement and full/long keel design.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Tartan 37 and O'Day 38, which share similar displacement and full-keel characteristics from the mid-1970s, offering comparable interior volume and offshore capability.
