$50,000 Cruising Boat? Episode 139 - Endeavour - Lady K Sailing

[@treasurehunt7812]

Thank you for all of these history lessons on boats and makers. I'm just getting into sailing at 44 years old and I have a lot of learning to do. You're a great source to give the context and evolution of sail designs over the previous 50 years or so. Thank you!

[@jayfitmob8645]

I love videos like this just goes to show that you put the work in, you can accomplish anything. Growing up in Florida my entire life I actually grew up with the Lazzara family. Please everyone remember what today is about, rest in peace to all of our fallen warriors. 🇺🇸💯😔

Just finished work on a new prototype sailboat! You might just love this one. It's been tested in 1/12th scale in 30 knots of wind! Doesn't even heal hard! It's flat bottom with a bilge keel that's retractable, I've already filed 3 concept pattents on the sail system. I call it the willow system and it works awesome barely because it's much much lighter than a traditional mast setup in addition it's flexible so that a certain portion can Flex over and heal that way the vessel doesn't have to heal hard the mass does all the work the sales are connected and split tension amongst them which means tension can be adjusted on all sales together off one line which is amazing it's a really great setup. Hopefully soon I'll be able to start work on the full size ship can't wait the 1st will be at 27 and I'll move it up in size from there!! Oh and it's fast!

The boat I bought in 2014 and being remitted now, is an Endeavour 33. Prior, I had looked and sea trialed an E37 with the B layout (there's an A layout too) in Marathon Key, but had an offer by the time I made my offer. Super roomy boat, and I would have been over my head with that 37, so I found my E33 in Clearwater, FL, not far from the factory in Largo, FL, and love it The biggest job on all monohull Endeavours, is replacing the mast step which is iron, and the iron grid under the main sole. More so on the sketch. The 33/35 not a blue water design but built like a tank, displacing over 11,700 lbs, and 4500 pounds of ballast in the keel. Does not point well to windward in 20+ kts winds, but I'm a cruiser, not a racer. So far, not a single soft spot on deck, or blisters in hull or rudder.

[@myrenovationprojects]

The Endeavour 43 CC is my perfect boat. Love everything about them.

[@jenrdemldeml8328]

The couch plants are fantastic.

[@lachielvaher9168]

I just purchased an 1984 Endeavor 38 Ac, sailed her from Sandusky over to Anchor Point Marina east of Toledo this past Thursday. Love the boat, though I have a great deal of work ahead of me to restore her to where I want her.

[@lachielvaher9168]

also have to say, some serious winds blew in last 2 hours of my trip. Lake erie fetched up and the boat didn't bat an eye at it.

[@donmcneal233]

I'm new to all this now @ 71 & yet decided I wanted a decent sized live aboard sail catamaran. And aware there just too much to learn per salt life & becoming a mariner. But! I did rise m'eye brow when seeing that Catalac12M for the 1st. time & learned it was the better of the cats in the day & only 3 showing left in the world...? This is good to know about Endeavors & decent cost too! I'm still lookin'! Thanks & fair winds...

[@beorbeorian150]

It’s Crockets boat! That is the headline for us older guys who watched Crocket bringing one hot woman after another onto his boat.

[@russellmurphy8111]

Like the Tie-dye shirt and the two couch plants!!!

[@captaindrew3061]

I had the E 37 for 15 years northeast to SA many times.

[@gad5248]

Finally, I agree with you 💯 concerning Endeavors, I'm working on purchasing a 43 CC right now... Had a 37 few years ago, really liked it too! But a guy offered me 2x what I had in it so let it go. It's all good though because this next Endeavor with Aft cabin and Sugar scoop stern is just an amazing forever boat for me....her lines are stunning to say the least

[@PyeGuySailing]

You should do an episode on which years of production to avoid. I heard many companies started cheaping out on glass or quality products. Also, I'd like an episode on small bluewater boats..flicka, westerly pageant, Falmouth cutter etc..

[@manning643]

Gary Pye have you ever looked at the Albin Vega 27. They are remarkable full keel proven blue water boats that will take you anywhere. I am 64 years old and have owned my Vega for eight years. She is very fast and easy to single hand. I love taking her out into the ocean and let her go!

[@PyeGuySailing]

@@manning643 I'm a fan of the Albin vega 27, one of the shows I follow is cruising lealea, they have one. Great go anywhere boat!

[@mizvisionaireproductions4302]

Hi...from Nova Scotia....I have an Endeavour 32....1976 with a centreboard to go upwind... A lot of work to bring her back though

[@manning643]

I sail a Albin Vega 27. A very strong little boat with a really big heart. Books are written about famous voyages in Vega's. Jarle Andhoy in Berserk, Matt Rutherford in Saint Brendan, And John Neil in his Vega Mahina. Vega's have sailed to all parts of the Planet and a quick KZbin search will bring you to Chuck and Laura on LeaLea, Sailing back and forth from Hawaii to Alaska and back as if they were going out for an evening sail. And many others sailing and cruising on Albin Vega's on a budget. Might make for a interesting video.

[@richardbyrd1116]

How about the CSY family 33,37,and 44 Especially the CSY44 aft cabin walkthrough. It even has a walk in engine room. Built for the charter industry, the hulls could take out a concrete dock! LOL!!

[@bobdailey9533]

Great information

[@MC_MMV]

“The epitome of that answer is.....” 🎵dramatic music🎵 Leopard Catamarans That ad sequence was too funny

[@RajeshSingh-Bhangu]

Thanks 👍

[@jenrdemldeml8328]

Almost to 30k Tim 👍

[@qsarkiss]

unique compendium of shipyards history, thanks ! Maybe the history of JPK or Swan (i know you also like Racing boat and these ones are quite incredible) !

[@PheelTheJoy]

I've almost purchased an Endeavor 37 on 2 occasions now. I'm in Alabama so they are relatively common here.

[@pistoleropr]

care to share why you didn't? been looking at a 37 myself...

[@PheelTheJoy]

@@pistoleropr absolutely nothing wrong with the boats, just a touch out of my price range on both.

[@PheelTheJoy]

@@pistoleropr I would suggest them to anybody, beautifully capable boats. Very nice.

[@colebrazeal9432]

Would you recommend an Endeavour for circumnavigating? I recently found one that I am interested in

[@Goosegirl00]

I’m looking into an Endeavor 43 1980.

[@islandonlinenews]

I like these videos, if you took a little time to add about 20 pictures, the guys you’re talking about, things on the boat your talking about, just more pictures I think they would be 100x better.

[@MR-yp7mu]

Endeavours had steel frame? Glassed in carbon steel usually doesn’t age well. Do you know which models?

[@Russellsperry]

I’m looking for a full keel cruiser, and this video was very helpful. I’m looking for something around 38 foot, and live-aboard for around 60k? What are some other good manufacturers of strong boats?

[@richard9316]

It was a boat made for keeping an alligator

[@beaconbus]

[@ketchmeoutside5671]

ive been waiting for this vid. i've got a old endeavour 37

[@artpimp1552]

Love the shirt brother, do you know anything about Spencer Ltd’s out of Vancouver?

[@ChrisOlson-v6d]

I just bought an endeavor 40 1982 center cockpit for 5,000 it has 1,100 on the engine love the boat it's roomy running rigging is good deck is good if anyone gets a chance they're beautiful boats

[@cruisingjacksonrose7008]

Are you ever going to sail again? I really enjoyed the sailing videos.

[@holidayfromwhere]

Look at his head, he has clearly been out on the water haha so much sun.

[@carlthor91]

Tim, can you do an episode on Caliber Yachts of Florida. As well as the Nauticat 441, I like the Caliber 47 LRC. Best wishes from Northern Manitoba.

[@triton_6633]

Hi, is Ontario still in lockdown? MI was but the Gov got busted too many times breaking her own rules. Plus she knows that continued lockdowns only hurt her. Just wondering about that music from episode #76. Just hoping you can share the tune and artist…anyways if you come over to west Michigan (Muskegon), stop by and maybe we can go for a sail on my Pearson Triton. Love you vids and please keep them up! Fair winds…

[@avancalledrupert5130]

Please do westerly. It seems strange you haven't done the cheapest most common boats of all .

[@clintontaylor8904]

Endeavour 37 is my dream boat. Am within a year of purchase of one

[@thomascooley2749]

At this point seems your only missing mark soverel from the florida sence

[@kcos129]

What do know about...? 1970 Hinterhoeller Redwing 30

[@frankvanasten6403]

Are those couch potato’s? Could you do an episode on the Peter Bruur designs?

[@SMM-Mystery]

Hey, how do I get a hold of you outside the KZbin forum? Is there an email address for you I can use?

[@Pornaphobia1]

Why are they so cheap?

[@stimproid]

🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌

[@coffeefish]

That's not the right hair style for you.

[@robertryan627]

I like it, and it’s super easy to maintain.

[@coffeefish]

@@robertryan627 You look nutty...
