Endeavour 32

Though now a bit dated, the endeavour 32 is a comfortable, capable cruising boat..

The Endeavour 32 began life back in 1970 as the Irwin 32. Ted Irwin designed her as a dualpurpose cruiser-racer before the development of the IOR. By 1975, the IOR was in full swing, and boats such as the Irwin 32 were obsolete as racers, since PHRF had not yet emerged to help handicap non-competitive boats raced at the club level.

Although the Irwin 32 had been out-designed for racing, the hull was still a comfortable design for cruising. The molds for the Irwin 32 formed the basis for Endeavour Yacht Corporation, which continued to build the boat as the Endeavour 32 until 1982.

Although the Irwin 32 and the Endeavour 32 look identical and have the same displacement, the Endeavour 32 is listed by the builder as being 4″ wider, 4″ longer overall, and 6″ longer on the waterline.

The Irwin 32 was originally available as a keel/centerboard boat drawing 3′ 6″, or with a long fin keel drawing 5′. The Endeavour 32 was originally a keel/centerboarder with the same configuration as the Irwin 32, or with a fixed shoal keel with 4′ 2″ draft. The original Irwin deeper keel was discontinued. Beginning in 1979, the keel/centerboard model was discontinued in favor of the shoal keel version.

Sailing Performance

Although the rig of the Endeavor 32 is fairly large, her relatively heavy displacement compared to dualpurpose 32-footers built today makes her somewhat slower than a more modern boat of the same overall length. The Endeavour 32’s ballast/displacement ratio of 40% implies a fairly stiff boat, but because of the boat’s shoal draft and narrow beam she is not as stiff as newer, lighter boats of the same length. While the Endeavour 32 is not a tender boat, her narrow beam and relatively high center of gravity mean she will heel fairly quickly.

Unless you buy a boat equipped with fairly new sails, there’s a good chance that the sails that come with a used Endeavour 32 will be approaching the end of their useful lives. Cruising sailors are notorious for making their sails last forever. After all, they’re cruisers, not racers. But cruising boats usually need all the power they can get to drive them due to relatively inefficient hulls and rigs.

The Endeavour 32’s PHRF rating of about 186 to 192 suggests a boat that is significantly slower than modern 32-footers, but comparable in speed to other boats of her vintage. The original Ericson 32, for example, has about the same rating, while the original Pearson 33 is about 10 seconds per mile faster. Owners report the Endeavour 32 to be underpowered in winds of under 10 knots. Owners in our survey have mixed opinions about the boat’s balance under sail, with some reporting excessive weather helm while others feel the boat to be well balanced. One advantage of the centerboard version is that the center of lateral resistance can be shifted by moving the board, reducing weather helm on a reach.

With the keel version, you don’t have the luxury of shifting the center of lateral resistance. We doubt that the keel version will go to weather as well as the centerboard boat. At the same time, the keel version does have a slightly lower vertical center of gravity, and should be somewhat stiffer when it breezes up. The specifications for the original Irwin 32 claim an extra 200 pounds of ballast for the centerboard boat, but the Endeavour brochure does not specify any difference in ballasting between keel and centerboard versions.

The rig is a simple single-spreader masthead rig with double lower shrouds, stepped on deck. No owners in our survey reported any problems with the deck-stepped spar, and one owner had sailed his boat to Bermuda and back. Tuning of the rig is straightforward, even for beginning sailors. Rigs don’t get much simpler than this.

We would be tempted to replace at least one of the mast-mounted halyard winches with as big a two-speed winch as we could fit. You don’t necessarily need it to hoist sails, but you’re also going to take crewmembers to the masthead on the winch. People on 32-footers weigh just as much as people on 40-footers, yet the standard halyard winches on the Endeavour 32 and most other boats in this size range make it impossible for a smaller crewmember to hoist a larger one to the masthead. It is one of the perversities of two-person sailing that the larger of the two—usually a man—insists on going up the mast, while the smaller—usually a woman—cranks the winch. You will also see the same logic prevail in anchoring: the man steers while the woman muscles the anchor up and down. It’s sort of like having the jockey carry the horse around the racecourse.

Shrouds are mounted at the edge of the deck, but since the boat is relatively narrow, this position does not dramatically reduce windward ability. For reaching, it is possible to sheet the genoa to the slotted aluminum toerail.

One change we would make to improve sail handling for cruising would be to add self-tailing winches. The original winches for the boat are too small for easy trimming of a big genoa, and self-tailers are simply a must on any cruising boat. The coamings are wide enough to go up one or two winch sizes.

We also recommend a modern roller-reefing headsail system for cruising. To use it effectively, it will be necessary to install a genoa track inboard of the lifelines on both sides of the boat. As a rollerreefing headsail is reduced in size, the sheet lead must move forward to accommodate the change in clew position. To do this by shifting the position of a snatch block on the toerail is grossly inefficient, and means you will probably never have the lead in the proper position. Even without roller-reefing headsails, the genoa track is a must for decent windward performance.

All Endeavour 32s came with diesel engines, but there is a lot of difference in the engines that were used. In 1975, 1976, and 1977 models, a 12 hp Yanmar diesel was standard equipment. In our opinion, that engine is simply too small for a boat this size. It will be fine in a flat calm, but there’s not enough power to push the boat into any wind or sea. Some boats in the same period were equipped with the Westerbeke L-25 engine, and others with the Yanmar 2QM20. The bigger Yanmar became standard in 1978, but a three-cylinder Universal diesel of about 24 hp was also an option in late-model boats.

With every engine except the single-cylinder Yanmar, performance under power is more than adequate. Our own engine preference would be either the larger Yanmar or the Universal diesel. The most serious complaint voiced about the engine installation is noise. The engine compartment has no sound insulation. Access for service is reasonable.

A surprising number of owners responding to our survey report that the boat is impossible to back down in a straight line under power. Part of the problem may stem from the hull shape, but there is little doubt that much of it comes from the extreme downward angle of the prop shaft. In reverse, the water is thrown against the bottom of the boat, which we suspect does little to help steering.

A two-bladed fixed prop is standard. A three-bladed prop was optional. We wouldn’t want to drag around a three-bladed fixed prop due to the boat’s exposed prop installation. The best choice by far would be a three-bladed feathering prop, which we suspect would also improve the boat’s handling in reverse.

Construction

No owners responding to our survey report major structural problems. There are, however, reports of hairline gelcoat crazing on both the hull and deck. One owner also reported extensive deck delamination. Still another comments that a surveyor found loose tabbing around a bulkhead in the forward cabin. In general, there were a higher than average number of owner complaints about gelcoat.

The frequency of bottom blistering reports is about average for boats generally sailed in warmer waters.

Another odd complaint from one owner concerns flaking gelcoat inside the integral fiberglass water tank under the forward berths. The tank was all but unusable until he cut openings in the top and resurfaced the inside. In addition, once inside the tank he discovered that the internal baffles had come loose. A water tank this far forward in the boat can significantly affect trim as water is consumed. Several owners report that the boat normally sits down by the stern. A full water tank forward will offset this problem, at the expense of increased pitching moment. As a rule, heavy consumables such as water and fuel should be carried near the middle of the boat, where the effect on trim will be minimized.

Several owners mention that their boats are equipped with gate valves rather than proper seacocks. This should show up on any survey. We feel that gate valves are inappropriate for use below the waterline, and should be replaced.

The lead ballast is carried inside the molded fiberglass keel. While this eliminates keelbolts and their associated problems, it means that you should pay prompt attention to any grounding damage to the keel, which could allow water inside the laminate.

On older boats, there is no deck fill for the water tank forward. Later boats do have deck fills, and some owners of older boats also installed them. They’re a good idea, since dragging a water hose below can be a real nuisance, and filling the tank from jerry jugs would almost be guaranteed to cause a mess below.

There are no deck scuppers, so water tends to pool at the low point in the sheer inboard of the aluminum toerail. Likewise, the cockpit scuppers are not flush, so the cockpit does not drain entirely.

Several owners of centerboard versions complain about the exposed centerboard pennant. With the board fully extended, about 3′ of wire is exposed and vulnerable below the boat. This is an unusual arrangement required by the very high aspect ratio board.

In general, owners of the Endeavour 32 feel that the boat is sturdily built, and reasonably finished, with the exception of the large number of reports of gelcoat defects.

For a relatively narrow boat, the Endeavour 32 is roomy. Headroom on centerline is about 6′ 4″. The original stepped cabin trunk—an Irwin design trademark—was replaced in the middle of the boat’s production history with a more modern-looking cabin trunk which is slightly tapered in profile. Cabin headroom was not significantly altered. Headroom is carried well forward over the forward cabin.

There is no door between the main cabin and the forward cabin, which limits privacy when cruising with more than two people. A privacy curtain was an option.

Storage space is used very effectively on the Endeavour 32. Since the water and fuel tanks are located in the ends of the boat, there is a lot of space available under the settees in the main cabin.

The galley is fairly small, which is typical of boats of this period. The icebox, however, is huge—about 10 cubic feet. We’d be tempted to reduce its size by adding more insulation on the inside of the box. Six cubic feet of icebox is more than adequate for a boat this size.

There are three legitimate sea berths on the Endeavour 32: the port and starboard main cabin settees, and the port quarterberth. These berths are all parallel to the boat’s centerline, so your head is neither above nor below your feet when the boat heels. Berths at odd angles to the centerline may be interesting visually, but they’re only functional when the boat is at rest.

Adding overhead handrails in the main cabin would be useful; there are very few things to grab onto in a seaway.

There are 10 opening ports in the cabin trunk of the Endeavour 32. This makes for very good ventilation when the boat is docked or anchored, but does nothing when the boat is underway and the ports are closed. If you leave ports open underway, you’re asking for a drenched interior from a stray wave or powerboat wake.

Ventilation would be greatly improved by installing cowl vents in dorade boxes. We would put two at the aft end of the main cabin, just forward of the dodger breakwater on later models, one over the head, and one over the passageway between the main cabin and the forward cabin. Be careful not to place the forward vents where they will interfere with working at the mast.

The biggest single complaint about the interior of the Endeavour 32 is the lack of a navigation station or chart table. When this boat was designed, navigators of even 40-footers frequently had to work on the cabin table or icebox lid. Today, almost every boat over 30′ has some sort of nav station—a must in the days of electronic gizmos.

All in all, the interior of the Endeavour 32 is comfortable and workable. Joinerwork is of good production boat quality. In later boats, the interior teak is varnished. There’s no  reason you couldn’t do this to an older boat if that finish appeals to you.

Conclusions

The Endeavour 32 is a comfortable, reasonably capable cruising boat. It would make a good coastal cruiser or island hopper. The basic design and construction are sound enough to justify the numerous additions and modifications necessary to make the boat suitable as a limited offshore cruiser for areas such as the Bahamas or the Caribbean.

The most troublesome aspect of the boat is the large number of owners in our survey reporting gelcoat flaws. While in most cases these are cosmetic, they are expensive to repair, and unsightly if not repaired.

Later boats with the more modern deck molding—recognizable by the lack of step in the profile of the cabin trunk—are in our opinion more desirable than the earlier boats. Likewise, look for a boat with a bigger engine than the original 12 hp Yanmar diesel.

To make it easier to handle, you’ll have to spend a fair amount of money on upgrading things such as winches and sail handling equipment. This is only worthwhile if you plan to keep the boat for a while.

The Endeavour 32 is quite a bit narrower than a modern boat of the same length, which makes the interior look a little smaller. At the same time, the beam is carried well aft, which tends to increase space in the cockpit.

Because of the lack of privacy below, this is not really a good family cruising boat for long periods of time. A privacy curtain forward would help, but a door for the forward cabin would be even better.

In appearance, the Endeavour 32 is somewhat dated, yet we would hesitate to call her appearance “classic.” Still, her styling may be a little easier on the eye long after today’s Euroboats have gone the way of tailfins and chrome bumpers.

1975 Endeavour Endeavor 32

Norwalk, Connecticut

This is a 1975 Endeavor 32 with a recently replaced (purchased new) Yanmar diesel that runs perfectly. Comparable boats are selling for $12-$14k. She's in sail away condition, though needs some cosmetic work and TLC. Fun Long Island Sound sailing vessel. She can be sailed immediately and worked on over time. If you like sailing boats, and want to get into something solid, safe, and a good size, with a very new inboard engine, then this boat will serve you well. The exterior varnish needs redoing, and parts of the interior have been stripped and are being rebuilt along the starboard main cabin. She needs new cushions inside and out. The "head" is in pristine condition! The engine was REPLACED five years ago with a new Yanmar 2YM15 at a cost of $10,000, and it has less than 100 hours on it! When the wind picks up, she's a wolf in sheep's clothing. As the wind picks up (+10kts), she gains speed and the water line begins to stretch out. Her narrow beam allows for good directional stability and keeps the bow from "digging" in like many wide stern boats being built today. It's a simple, forgiving, stout cruising boat. If you are looking for some fun on the water and want to get in below $10k, this is a great opportunity. Many more details I can email to you if interested...too much to fit here.

Hopefully this is the correct forum to post this message. If not, let me know and I will post in the correct forum. I am considering purchasing a 1977 Endeavour 32 and will be inspecting it soon. I would appreciate any inputs into particular areas of trouble/ weakness to focus upon. From what I could gather by online posts I realize it is heavy and prone to a bit of weather helm which doesn't really deter me. Intended use is mostly coastal cruising with an occasional trip once or twice a year into the keys/ Caribbean. I would also appreciate inputs of owners past or present as to the pros and cons of this boat. Thanks, Greg

You might want to go here to read owner reviews.... http://www.endeavourowners.com/info.html ...and that site has a lot of Endeavour information. We looked at a 32 and ended up with a 37 and have been happy with her but very limited on the water experience so far :cry:. The 32 we drove a long ways to look at looked great on the Internet and like a different boat in person as far as condition. Where is the 32 you are going to look at?

what engine is on boat? well made, solid and simple...depends on asking price  

I had a 1978 32' years ago and loved it I have had it out in the Atlantic is 12-15' seas. Windows leaking was my main problem other than that I loved the boat.  

Yes, if the boat still has the plastic Beckson ports in the cabin they are likely toast, or at least leak. All about maintenance & condition of an older boat like that. Ok sailor. Nice interior. A friend of mine owns I believe a 1980 model E32. Got some blisters happening on the hull.

I had an Irwin 32 which is the same mold as the Endeavor. It did have a weather helm which I could never correct, but it was a good boat. The Endeavor is better built than the Irwin and I would not hesitate to own the boat again.  

Barnacle Bill

I have some customers who have an Endeavor 32 and they love it, but they had to rebuild the mast step near the keel because it deteriorated. So, I suggest you take a peek at that area. I sailed and Endeavor 34 center cockpit ketch (LOA 37') all over Florida and the Bahamas for quite some time and it was a great boat. Russell Wakefield (now an old man) used to be the Endeavor dealer in south Florida and sold them all over Florida and put them into the Bahamas.  

Thank you all for the inputs. I have taken a first look at the boat. Naturally the posted pictures made it look better than it did close up in person. It needs work (including replacing all the portlights- are there drop in replacements?). The boat seemed fundamentally sound. For it's age I found very little delamination areas on the deck. Fair amount of gelcoat cracks but nothing that seemed structural. Things that would need fixing include patching the cracks in the gelcoat and painting the deck. Boat is in the water so I haven't seen the hull yet but will have it pulled if I think I definitely want to attempt to but. I have to presume that it needs some bottom painting. Owner says it has never had blisters, but seeing is believing. Rigging seemed decent but I'd have it inspected prior to purchasing as well. No broken stands that I could detect from the deck. Engine is an original Yanmar. It ran well and no smoke in the exhaust. The oil was a bit blacker than I thought it should be, but maybe it just needs changed. Of course at its age and with raw water cooling, it may need replacement sooner rather than later. The boat is very basic with no significant upgrades to speak about. It needs all the exterior bright work refinished and some of the interior needs work (cosmetic not structural as far as I can see. Also some leaks in the hatch areas and around a couple of the windows that need to be address. Anybody have any surveyor recommendations, rigger, and diesel mechanic recommendations in the Miami to Key West area? Thanks for the inputs and help. Greg  

What Yanmar does it have? I had a Paceship 26 wiht a Yanmar YSE8 and the oil in that engine was always blacker than the night, even shortly after an oil change. Tsi despite a new cylinder liner and new rings etc. It was a great and very very dependable engine.

All Endeavour 32s came with diesel engines, but many different engines were used. In the 1975, 76, and 77 models, a 12hp Yanmar (1QM) diesel was standard equipment--fine for flat calms but not enough power to push to windward in any wind or sea. Some boats in the same period were equipped with the Westerbeke L-25 engine, and others with the Yanmar 2QM20 (22hp 2-cyl) which was available in the late 70's. While the bigger Yanmar became standard in 1978, a 3-cylindar Universal diesel of about 24hp was also an option in late model boats........... Click to expand

Sumner, I read most everything on the Endeavor owners site which in part prompted me to go take a look at the boat. I appreciate the effort to post the link. For you and others commenting about the engine, it is the 2 cylinder Yanmar. I can't imagine that the one cylinder Yanmar was effective for such a displacement. If it had that one I'd for sure have to factor in repowering. Greg  

Stu, thanks for that link. I especially like the window puller. I'm sure that must avoid some frustration. I followed the links about the official process for replacing the windows and the reality of it. Its like most jobs on a boat that one thinks is a 1 hour job but turns into a 4 hour job and requires you to closely related to an octopus to be able to reach/ hold all the associated parts at one time! Greg  

Barnacle Bill, thanks for this input. I didn't notice anything at the base of the compression post, but I also didn't sound that area or inspect it too closely. Is there a wooden beam directly under the post? From what I saw it looked like the post was on fiberglass, but the glass could have covered a wooden beam underneath. Your comment is interesting because one of the few areas on the cabin deck that sounded like it might be delaminated was beside the mast. It was a very small area, about as long as the mast base (4-6 inches long and perhaps 3 inches or so out from the mast.) It also looked like the fiberglass very slightly dipped in right at the junction of the mast, but maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me. The starboard side of the cabin deck at the mast was sound and didn't seem to have the dip. When I say dip, it might have been all of 1/16 of an inch, perhaps less. Do you know the details of how this area was repaired? I would presume it requires stepping the mast, removing the compression post and cutting away the area of glass and wood that deteriorated, replace wooden cross member and reglassing. I'm not trying to suggest it is a walk in the park, but was there something in the repair that might not be immediately apparent and requiring expert effort? Greg  

All Important is what are they asking for this boat? Is the price worth the work that goes into it. I am in your area and would love to go look at the boat with you. I am not an expert, but I do know about boats after being an owner and having always repaired my boats myself for 40 years.  

Hi Higgs, thank you for the offer, but better be careful as I may take you up on it! It's a 5 hr drive from Cape Coral, so I want to be reasonably certain I will make an offer on it before doing that drive again. I am in the process of trying to determine what some of the repairs might cost be. The engineer in me wants to do all the repair work myself (although going up the mast always sets off the self preservation alarms!) but the sailor in me wants it done sooner. I travel a lot so my diy repairs will take quite a while. My approach at this point is get rough estimates for the major items and use that as a basis to determine if an offer is warranted. Since we are new to the SWFL area I really don't know which yards do good work. If you have recommendations that would be helpful. In particular would be a welding shop that can do some railing repair. I would also like to get your thoughts on what some of the repairs might take if one does it themselves. Since I may get to a point of negotiating on this boat, I'd rather have that communication more privately. May I PM you about some of my concerns?

Sumner, thanks for the input. As far as I can tell my choices for a diy yard are the one you mention and one way up the river in the general area of Alma. Neither are close ( 1hr drive or so to either). I am not fixated on the Endeavour and have looked at some Hunters and Irwins so far. I will consider others as well. It seemed that Endeavour owners were generally pleased and the boats seem to be more or less well constructed for the boats of that time. The particular boat I looked at seemed to have been better maintained in the pictures and from discussions with the owner than was evident in person. I'm trying to determine if the cost to make it shipshape is reasonable relative to a boat that is already well maintained. Of course ideal would be a boat that is repowered, rerigged, no delamination and brand new sails with every high end electronic gizmo known to man, but I haven't found that yet for my budget!

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

The ENDEAVOUR 32 was the first boat from Endeavour and was actually the same basic hull as the earlier IRWIN 32 with modifications by Dennis Robbins, in-house designer for Endeavour at this time. Other changes to the design (by Bob Johnson?) were made in 1980. Earlier ENDEAVOUR 32’s could be purchased with a fin keel or keel-centerboard (like the IRWIN). By 1979, both the deep fin keel and keel-centerboard versions had been dropped in favor of a shallower draft, fixed keel model. Shown here is the later version. See ENDEAVOUR 32 CB for more details.

Keel/CB version: Draft BD: 7.83’ Draft BU: 3.5’ Shoal draft fixed keel: 3.16’
