701.0. "Endurance 35" by DECWET::OMEARA () Thu Dec 03 1987 18:37

    Does anyone out there know anything about a boat called "Endurance
    35"?  I understand it's a ferrocement pilothouse, and comes in either
    ketch or cutter rig.  Any input as to seaworthiness, stowage room,
    comfort?  It's being considered by a friend of mine for cruising
    the Caribbean. 
    
    I'd appreciate any information anyone can furnish.

	> Does anyone out there know anything about a boat called "Endurance 35"? That's a design from about 1972; the designer's name eludes me now. It was winner in a magazine design contest, and reflected the then-growing excitement around "sailing sidewalks." The designer ended up selling many plans, and did versions for wood, steel and fiberglass construction, too. Full keel, modest rig, flush deck. It has a particularly well-proportioned pilothouse with inside steering station and settee which could convert to berths. The main cabin had a galley, head and either V-berths forward, or storage and head forward with settee berth(s?) amidship. I just now recall his name -- Frederick Mauric, I think. In the early '70's he lived somewhere in French-speaking North Africa. Within the past two, maybe three years he's just put out an updated version, the Endurance 40, for them's what's int'rested.
