Endurance 37 fiberglass hull. Hull was made by the Klusendijk boatyard in South-Africa. Very thick fiberglass like they did it back in the day. French papers. Strong boat with heavy long-keel that will take care of you in a storm. Beautiful custom-made teck interior with lots of outside lights coming through the reinforced glass window ( Plexiglas only on the deck). 1 V-berth, 1 central berth and 1 central cabin. New sunbrella hood and bimini 2022. Oversized rigging by Hasselfors.

(Strong and UV-resistant) - Lots of storage inside and outside. - The mattresses of the V-Berth are custom made latex - Small 12V ventilator in the central cabin - New covers for the cushions in the living room - Jabsco toilet and shower - Water under pressure - Saltwater with whale footpump in the kitchen - Isotherm fridge 12/24V 72 watt - ENO kitchen with double fire and oven. 2 big gas bottles in the cockpit - Gas detector

Tanks : - 350 L water - 250 L diesel

Mooring - Light mooring: Bruce anchor with 30m rope - heavy mooring: Bruce anchor with 40m chane rope - Anchorwinch Lofrans

Energy : - 2 Banner 145A batteries - 1 engine battery - 1 new Optima battery for the bow-thruster - 1x100 W solar panel on the roof(could use 2 more to be totally autonomous) - Powerful wind turbine by WorldPower - 22V Mastervolt battery charger - Bow-thruster not working, the relay need changing

Giving away with the boat lots of paint,sikaflex, grease, equipment, rope, speargun, ouside teck table, kitchen equipment and other things.

Call me for more pictures and infos.

The boat is currently in Guadeloupe, Pointe–Pitre. Can do a video call or organise a visit if you are interested.

Calculations

Hull Speed
?

Hull Speed

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.

Formula

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.

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

?
Classic formula: ?
Sail Area/Displacement
?

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.

Formula

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.
?
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
?

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.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

?
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
?

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.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
?
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
?

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.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
?
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
?

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.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
?
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
