Extensively refitted in 2017-2018 for participation in the Golden Globe 2018 race. Before the race, a major refit was completed at a Spanish shipyard, with strength tests, new rigging, ballast, and rudder installed. New North Sails, a Volvo Penta D2-40 engine, solar panels, radio, windvane, hydrogenerator, emergency rudder, and fittings for emergency sail rigging were also added.
All work was completed with a no-expense-spared approach, making her truly unique – a ‘Land Rover Defender 4x4 of the ocean.’
In 2023, after returning to the Mediterranean, additional work was done including refreshing the cabin interior, treating the teak deck, installing new portholes, custom-made mattresses, AIS and other equipment.
Total cost for rebuilding and refiting exceeded €350,000, making this offer a remarkable opportunity.
Now ready for a new owner, she’s equipped for challenges in the Southern Ocean or for comfortable, confident cruising.

Review of Endurance 35
Basic specs..
The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season.
The boat is equipped with one cabin, 5 berths and 700.0 liter fresh water capacity.
The boat has more than one rig. One option is a cutter rig. A cutter rig breaks the yacht’s sail area down into smaller, easier to manage sails. Cutter rigs are often used for offshore sailing. Another option is a ketch rig. A ketch rig is generally considered easier to handle, because the sails are smaller, and because it can sail on most points to the wind with one sail completely taken down for repair or while reefing. The sail configuration of a ketch allows for better comfort and stability when sailing downwind or on a broad reach.
The Endurance 35 is built with a long keel. A full keel provide a better directional stability than a similar boat with a fin keel; on the other hand, better directional stability means also that the boat is more difficult to handle in a harbour with less space.
Endurance 35 can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.52 - 1.62 meter (4.99 - 5.29 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
Sailing characteristics
This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.
What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?
The capsize screening value for Endurance 35 is 1.66, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.
What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?
The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 6.9 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.
The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Endurance 35 is about 182 kg/cm, alternatively 1020 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 182 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 1020 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Endurance 35 information.

I've been looking at an Endurance 35 on sailboatlistings.com for the past couple weeks. The seller lists the boat as being built in 1980 but doesn't mention the builder's name (making me think it was a private builder). The seller states the hull is made up of Mahogany with fiberglass skin. That would be surprising since it seems the vast majority of these boats, especially privately built ones, are made from ferro-cement. Does anyone have any experience with either a ferro-cement hulled boat or mahogany hulled boats? Anyone ever sail on an Endurance 35 that can tell me more about how she behaves? Things that i should advise a surveyor to check ( i can't myself, the boat is in maryland and i'm on the gulf coast). Anything else i might have missed? I love the look of the boat and this particular one is cutter rigged rather than ketch. I'm looking for a very solid bluewater cruiser where speed is not nearly as important as safety and comfort. The endurance seems like a very solid boat from what i have read but there isn't too much information on them floating around. ENDURANCE 35 sailboat specifications and details on sailboatdata.com
Endurances were built in Fiberglass by the DeKleer brothers (of Fraser fame) near Vancouver. Many were sold as kits (hull/deck and/or hull only) Not a particularly inspired design and if this is a homebuilt you really need to be 'eyes wide open' all the time. Glass-over-wood can work quite well (there are thousands of homebuilt Thunderbirds out there) but there's always a possibilities of delamination and separation.
Text from sailboatdata.com "A highly thought of long-distance cruiser that has been built of wood, steel, ferro and GRP by amateur and professional builders around the world. Designed as a Cutter or Ketch."
The way I read that ad 1980 Endurance 35 sailboat for sale in Maryland Is that it is wood covered with fiberglass cloth. I would make sure the survey includes moisture readings taken from wood under fiberglass. Delamination is one thing, but water ingress into the wood core would be a deal breaker for me. There is a glut of good boats out there and no sense taking undue risks with wood core boats.
I looked at an Endurance once that was glass over wood - home finished I believe - did not have a lot of confidence in it given the fit and finish - also been aboard a ferrocement one - it was beautiful , extremely well done - so I guess it just depends, I would want to know the original builder before I invested in one.
That's the issue with any 'homebuilt'... You want one built by a very (multi) talented guy with full blown OCD.. not someone with the 'that'll do' mindset.
I'm believe I'm looking to buy the same boat, in Maryland. And I too query this hull design. Why did you not buy it, please?
Plans to take a trip to Maryland to personally inspect the boat fell through. Given the price reduction of the boat and the result of the presidential election, i have moved up my time table and am planning to make a trip to Maryland again.
If I had to choose between ferrocement and glass sheathed wood on a 36 year old home build I know what my choice would be. Ferro every time. While repairing a double diagonal glass sheathed boat is possible finding someone willing to tackle it will be very difficult. This is technology from a bygone age.

There are lots of the glass ones around here. I knew a guy who built one of the first De Kleer glass hulls - they didn't even have the deck mould at the time so he built a ply over beams deck. I've always liked the look of the boats but they are light on headroom with the flush deck. I ran into Tom years later and he wished he had put a taller rig in it. Translation: slow boat. I saw a PHRF rating for them (seriously) that was about the same as a San Juan 24.
I believe this is the boat my father built & launched in 1980. He had built several glass & wood boats previously including restoring a turn of the century wooden Colin Archer. Sailed by builder for over 20 years. 20,000 miles at sea. First American ship down the Danube. White oak sole, African mahogany interior, laminated yellow oak beams. Regular marine surveys for Lloyds of London always elicited enthusiastic endorsement of workmanship. No idea how she has been maintained in the last decade after her sale. I hope she finds a good home with someone who loves sandpaper.

A boat with a BN of 1.6 or greater is a boat that will be reefed often in offshore cruising. Derek Harvey, “Multihulls for Cruising and Racing”, International Marine, Camden, Maine, 1991, states that a BN of 1 is generally accepted as the dividing line between so-called slow and fast multihulls.

Jun 11, 2006 · The Endurance 35 was 1970's era character boat that was built in a wide range of materials (steel, ferrocement and various fiberglass techniques)and in a wide range of quality levels. Most were built with a high pilot house and flush deck forward. They have always struck me as strange boats, with a silly amount of weight crammed on a oddly ...
