Diving into the Endeavour 42

Sonny crocketts famous home-by-the-sea also suits the real sailor..

42 endeavour sailboat

Just as the Caribbean cruising dream was at its peak in the American consciousness, Endeavour yachts brought in Americas Cup designer Johan Valentijn to create a new breed of Endeavours to compete with an already crowded field of center-cockpit cruisers, most of them bound for the Caribbean charter trade. The end result was a boat that managed to maintain a surprisingly tolerable aesthetic, unlike the typical wedding-cake center cockpit cruiser. The combination of teak trim, bootstripe, and balanced proportions camouflages what is essentially a floating condo.

True, the boat can sail. With its tall rig and inboard shrouds, it can even beat to windward with a bit of authority, but with a displacement to length ratio of more than 300, the Endeavour 42 is a pure cruiser, designed to get its crew from here to there in relative comfort. The other performance drawback is the four and one-half foot draft. When working to windward, this keel simply can’t provide the lift of deeper, higher-aspect foil keel. However, youd be hard pressed to find anyone complain about shallow draft in Florida, the Bahamas, or the other shoal waters where the boat is popular. Perhaps its biggest attraction is its price-less than $100,000 for a second home on the water.

In our view, however, the most salient point to highlight is that the Endeavour 42 is the boat that Sonny Crockett and his pet crocodile lived on for most of the hit television series Miami Vice. Crockett, played by actor Don Johnson, epitomized the 80s swinging single with a two-day beard. Of the 257 Endeavour 42s built between 1985 and 1991, we guess that roughly half of them are still occupied by single men who are living (or at one-time aspired to) the Sonny Crockett lifestyle. The other half, we would venture, are owned or captained by men, women, and families who are actually doing some sailing. The distinction is important if you are looking for a used Endeavour 42.

Endeavour 42

Deck layout

In terms of ergonomics, the E42 is fairly efficient, but it is a big boat and the loads are such that older sailors may want to budget for $5,000-$15,000 in upgrades that will reduce friction in the running rigging.

Because of the high mast height and Bimini top, routines like flaking and tending to the mainsail require a little more nimbleness than a typical aft-cockpit cruiser, but lazy jacks and a self-stowing mainsail cover can fix that. The jib sheet winches-self-tailing Lewmar 44s should be one size bigger-but the real sticking point (at least on our test boat) was setting and lowering the mainsail using the lines led aft to the cockpit. A rigid boom vang, a self-stowing mainsail system (Stackpack, Mack-Pack, Dutchman etc.), new turning blocks, and efficient sail slides (Dutchman Strong track) will make setting the main easier. The Lewmar mainsheet traveler on our test boat also could benefit from an upgrade, or at least a rebuild, if you want to make life easier.

Passages fore and aft are clear and wide. The foredeck allows plenty of room to store an 11-foot RIB tender, although many owners have added davits aft. The design came with two different transoms: older models have flat transom, the post-1989 models have an extended transom with an early iteration of the now common scoop transom. Owners unanimously prefer the scoop design, which makes it easier to load and unload from the dinghy, climb aboard when swimming.

The cockpit can be fully enclosed for winter sailing. The boat we sailed had a dodger and side panels. This protected from the elements, but still allowed easy reach to the mainsheet aft. Our test boat had three headsail tracks-two outboard, and one inboard. Leading the sheets lead through the inboard leads may require a turning block aft to prevent chafing on the teak cockpit coaming.

Accommodations

The E42 is a walk-through center cockpit design, meaning that you can access the aft cabin without going above deck. This arrangement reduces the risk of down-flooding, simplifies mainsheet runs, and, is easier on the knees, heart, and self-esteem. Unless you are an emphatic FitBit user, or insist on sound-studio isolation, a walk-through is the way to go in a center-cockpit cruiser.

The walk-through design presents two major challenges: creating enough headroom in the passage aft without building a wedding cake, and locating the passage where it causes the least interference with life below.

Endeavour accomplished the first feat without fuss by eliminating cockpit lockers, however, the passageway is also the galley, an arrangement that might raise hackles of the cook, especially if the first mate is the forgetful type always needing to squeeze past to retrieve his reading glasses. The galleys oversized top-loading freezer fridge is overkill for most cruising needs and the insulation is builders grade, but the size is easily reduced, and insulation can be added. If you’re an avid spear fisherman and the boat has a genset, you’ll be able to feed yourself through a nuclear winter.

One of the biggest advantages of the walkthrough design is excellent access to the engine, which sits directly beneath the cockpit and can be reached through doors on either the side of the engine-from the galley or aft cabin head. In fact, except for the fuel tank, some wiring, and scupper hoses, access to all of the boats key system components is commendable.

The layout is pretty standard for a center cockpit boat-one forward double v-berth, one single settee (starboard), one double convertible settee (port, either a circular or L-shaped dinette), and one island queen berth aft with its own head. The forward berth has a five-foot hanging locker and three drawers under the berth. The owners cabin aft has two hanging lockers and six drawers-three per side.

The guest head forward has two doors (one from the berth, one from the main saloon), however these doors, as well as the forward cabin door, tend to get jammed as the rigging and mast loads are transferred to this area. Reinforcing the doorways with an aluminum frame, as some other builders do, would help prevent this, but most owners just plane the doors to size and carry on. Given the signs of bulkhead flexing we saw on three separate boats, were not surprised that leaks at the mast partners and shroud chainplates are common complaints.

The interior is built mainly of wood, with pan liners for the two heads. The floor timbers are bonded in place with woven roving and the plywood sole is screwed onto these longitudinal and transverse timbers. A teak and holly floor is bonded on top of that. The varnish and joinery on the boat we tested was above average, and owners seem generally pleased with the appearance and layout. This stick-built approach lends itself to modification. The boat we sailed had a full-length bar instead of the starboard settee (the Sonny Crockett Syndrome in full bloom).

Two interior items that drew criticism in our survey were the location of the galley sink, which is tucked beneath galley stairs, and the practicality of the wet bar in the main saloon-which most long-term cruisers have retrofitted for storage, an AC compressor, or fireplace.

The boat is very well ventilated, ideal for the tropics. Multiple Bomar opening ports, two large overhead Atkins and Hoyle hatches in the main cabin, and one large hatch over each double berth provide ample breeze at anchor. (The lack of dorades speaks to its island-hopping rather than ocean-crossing aspirations).

Most of the boats that we saw have undergone at least some systems overhauls. One of the surprises on our test boat was the scupper hoses. These hoses, which are difficult to inspect because they are hidden behind paneling, had rotted out, allowing the boat to flood with rainwater. The hoses that drain the aft lockers had also rotted out, allowing seawater to enter the boat while it was heeled or motoring. These hoses and through hulls are virtually inaccessible. New owners should cut inspection ports to access these through hulls and consider retrofitting a seacock.

The most common auxilliary is a 62 horsepower Perkins 4-154 diesel engine with 2.5 to 1 reduction gear (1983-1986). Most later model boats (1987-1991) have Yanmar 4JH.

Our test boat had a brand-new, drop-in replacement for the Yanmar 4JH- the extremely quiet, Tier III emissions-compliant Yanmar 4JH57. The new 57 horsepower engine uses electronically controlled common rail injection to precisely regulate of the amount and timing of fuel injection for better fuel efficiency. Burn rate can be instantaneously monitored via the engines displays, or via an NMEA 2000 compliant multi-function display at the helm.

All models have 1.25-inch diameter solid, stainless-steel propeller shafts. The stuffing box is easily accessible from the aft cabin. The standard propeller is a three-blade 17 x 16-inch right-hand propeller.

The fuel tank, located in the keel beneath the engine, is a problem. Built of marine grade aluminum, it is exposed to condensation and water trapped in the bilge that can cause pinholes to develop. If the boat has not yet had the tank replaced, you should budget for this project-$10,000 to $20,000 were the prices we were quoted by owners. Most people cut the tank out from above, which requires major deconstruction. The owner of our test boat is a boat builder, and he accessed by cutting a hole in the side of the keel-a job requiring absolute confidence in the fiberglass repair.

The electrical system is fairly standard for the era. Stranded copper wire leads to AC and DC power panels at the navigation station, which is located just beneath the cockpit stairs facing forward on the starboard side. The wiring on our test boat was not well labeled, nor particularly well organized. An upgrade to NMEA 2000 can fix this, but it will be time-consuming if you want to use the same wire runs.

The wires on our test boat run beneath the side decks, although some wires also run just beneath the floorboards in the bilge. In either case, fishing new wires is not a simple task. The bilge itself has an extremely deep sump just below the cockpit stairs. The owner of our test boat had wisely installed his bilge pump and float valve on a long aluminum extension that allowed him to retrieve it and inspect it as needed. The bronze seacocks are all bonded with 8-gauge wire to prevent galvanic corrosion in salt water.

Performance

The Endeavour 42 enjoys a good breeze, and although a cruising chute can keep it moving in light air, most cruisers opt to motorsail when the winds lighten. We averaged about 6.3 knots on our passage from Sarasota, Florida to Havana, sailing conservatively in winds ranging from 8 to 17 knots.

Being shorthanded, we reefed the main at night, but were still able to maintain between 5.5 and 6 knots. If you are willing to use the engine when needed, you can plan on making 6.5 knots, while burning about 1.5-2 gallons per hour. The 75-gallon fuel tank is small compared to similar models, and limits range to about 300 miles under power.

The boat balances well in 12 knots or less, but once the wind picks up and the boat heels past about 15-degrees, weather helm sets in. The weather helm is not as extreme as it is on other designs, and is usually remedied by reefing the main to reduce heeling.

Owners also report that a well-cut main and a flattening reef will also help ease the weather helm. Tacking angles were 45 degrees or worse. Our best speed off the wind was 7.4 knots in about 17 knot trades. The boats favorite heading is with the wind just aft of the beam.

Although some Endeavour owners advise sailing under a full genoa alone to offset weather helm in high winds, this puts undue tension on the rig and is not a good idea. Better to reef the main, and furl the jib as needed, as the mainsheet tension helps balance rig loads.

The Endeavour 42s modest price, and excellent support from an active owners association makes it a good choice for the single-minded single with the guts for a major refit. Families should concentrate on an already refurbished model.

Its heavy displacement would seem to lend it to ocean voyaging and at least one Endeavour owner routinely takes the offshore route between New England and the islands. Nevertheless, there are enough shortcomings in the design and systems to recommend it principally for coastwise sailing and island hopping.

Pricewise, there are only a few other boats in this same size range that match up in terms of aesthetic, tonnage, and interior volume. If you’re looking to live like Sonny Crockett, the Endeavour 42 will put you right on track. Compare with the Whitby 42/Brewer 12.8/Brewer 44 , Hunter Passage 42, Gulfstar 44, CSY 44, and the Morgan Out Island 41.

Endeavour 42

Endeavour 42 is a 42 ′ 3 ″ / 12.9 m monohull sailboat designed by Johan Valentijn and built by Endeavour Yacht Corp. between 1985 and 1991.

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)

From BlueWaterBoats.org :

In 1985 Endeavour yachts in Florida teamed up with America’s Cup designer Johan Valentijn to produce the Endeavour 42 and the Endeavour 51. The ‘Florida’ boats that Endeavour Yachts had previously been known for, with simple designs, big accommodations, shoal draft and shoddy windward performance, were giving way to the market demand for more performance based designs. The E42 still deserves it’s ‘floating hotel’ tag and is by no means a blue water cruiser, but more attention was given to performance by fitting taller rigs, moving the chain plates inboard and switching to balsa cored topsides. Around 257 of these boats were built between 1985 and 1991 and it is considered a comfortable, good value cruiser for those who fancy the Sonny Crockett Miami Vice liveaboard lifestyle.

Endeavour yachts was founded in 1974 by John Brooks and Rob Valdes in Largo, Florida. It was the heyday of Tampa Bay, Florida production with Morgan, Irwin and Gulfstar as well as Endeavour. Endeavour began with the launch of the E32 and later the E37, designed by in-house designer Dennis Robbins. When the 1980’s saw the change in focus from plump, short rigged tubs to high performance, center cockpits Endeavour brought in Johan Valentjin in 1985 to design the E42 and the E51. In 1986, the company closed and sold to Coastal Financial Corp, which, despite the name, had a 10 year run of financial problems. John Brooks stayed on with the company as production manager but Coastal eventually sold Endeavour in the 1990’s, where it ended up as an entirely different company building mainly cruising catamarans. In 1996, the history of Endeavour came to an end when Brooks was shot dead in an apparent burglary at his home. Some would say that the design lineage lives on in Island Packet Yachts as similarities have been drawn between Endeavour and Island Packets. Bob Johnson of Island Packet was on board as a designer with Endeavour in the late 1970’s.

Boat Configuration

The accommodations are what sells these boats and owners of the E42 are generally happy with the ‘floating hotel’ description. The Endeavour 42 has the center cockpit arrangement, with an island queen aft and V-berth forward, that is most desired layout among these type of cruisers. The galley is along the walkthrough with the sinks either under the companionway or outboard.

Construction

The hull has balsa cored topsides with plywood for compression strength and solid glass below the waterline. Molded liners were used which severely limit bilge access. The aluminum tanks are known to corrode and leak after 15 years of use. Of the west coast of Florida builders, Endeavour generally ranks second behind Gulfstar and ahead of Morgan and Irwin in quality construction. The engine is the common 62HP Perkins 4-154 which while excellent has limited support for replacement parts. Finding a rebuilt kit is near impossible.

Like Island Packets, the Endeavour 42 is a heavy, shoal draft yacht which performs poorly in light air and to windward. The design is specially attuned to the needs of sailors in South Florida and the Bahamas with her 5′ draft. A stout boat is nice in trades too.

Buyers Notes

Endeavour is well known to have poorly thought out access. The molded liners really limit bilge access. To compound this mistake, Endeavour sunk the aluminum water and fuel tanks deep into the bilge on the Endeavour 42. These tanks last 15 years and then will need to be replaced. Replacing them is at least a $50,000 refit project because of the impossible access.

As of 2010 the asking prices are in the approximate range of: Endeavour 42, 1985-1991, $75k-$125k USD

to produce the Endeavour 42 and the Endeavour 51 signaling the beginning of a new era, or second generation, of sailboat designs at Endeavour. The first generation of boats Endeavour produced were simple designs (in part based on the CCA design rule), had hand laid FRP hulls, shoal draft keels suited to the shallow waters of Florida Keys and Bahamas, and generally suffered from poor windward performance. These older designs were giving way to market demand for better performing boats.

 

The hull is molded as a sandwich core construction of 1” Balsa Grain Balsa Core between laminates (layers) of polyester resin and fiberglass woven roving and multi-directional chopped strand fiber (MCSF). The keel is moldered integrally with the hull and all ballast is contained inside. (Although unconfirmed, we believe that the hull below the waterline is solid FRP, is balsa cored above the water line, and that areas of the deck are either solid FRP or cored with marine ply.)

 

All ballast is internally mounted inside the keel, which is molded integrally with the hull. Cast pieces of lead are place in the hull, encapsulated in a p0olyester bonding resin, and then covered with a layer of woven roving to form a fiberglass cap. When finished, the ballast becomes a structural part of the hull.

The rudder is molded as a single piece of solid high density foam with a protective skin of fiberglass and a gelcoat finish. The foam material is of high strength structural grade and has exceptional toughness. The rudder post, molded integrally with the rudder, is solid stainless steel, which is welded to a steel blade in the interior of the rudder. Where the rudder post passes through the hull, water tightness is ensured by means of a stuffing box.

 

All spars (mast, boom, and spreaders) are extruded aluminum 6061-T6 alloy, with a protective coating an all external surfaces. The mast on the E42 is stepped through the cabin roof onto the keel.

 

 

All Endeavour models are equipped with inboard diesel engines. The most common auxillary installed was a fresh water cooled 62 HP Perkins 4-154 diesel engine with 2.5 to 1 reduction gear (1983–1986). The Yanmar 4JH is found on most later model boats (1987–1991).


All models have solid stainless steel propeller shafts. The diameter of the E42 shaft is 1.25".


The standard propeller supplied with all Endeavour models is a solid bronze, three-blade type. It has a tapered bore that mates to the tapered shaft end and is held in place with two locking nuts and a cotter pin. A square key locks the propeller to the shaft p0reventing any rotational slippage of the prop. 


In the Perkins engine, a water pump draws water through the intake port, circulates it through a heat exchanger, where it is pumped in the muffler and overboard through the exhaust port. The saltwater in the heat exchanger lowers the temperature of the engine coolant circulated through the engine block by means of the normal engine water pump.


The fuel tank us built of welded marine grade aluminum with internal baffles. The fuel tank is positioned in the keel cavity in the engine room. All E42 fuel tanks have additional pick up and return fittings for auxiliary generator. If no generator is installed at the factory, these are plugged with removal caps for possible future use.

 

The electrical system has been designed to ensure as much trouble free operation as possible. Wiring and connections are kept as high in the interior of the yacht as practical to reduce exposure to water.  Virtually all wiring and connections are accessible by removing panels from under the side decks.

A higher number indicates a boat that would be expected to have a slower motion and therefore be more comfortable at sea. The Comfort Ratio of the Endeavour 42 is 34 and, for comparison, the average of 100 boats, in my database, between 41' and 43' is 31.7.
