Description

Endurance is a long legged super cruiser capable of fast, comfortable and safe passage making.

She is a yacht capable of deep water passage work and she is not a lightly skinned bay sailor. She is durable, stable and seaworthy for real cruising and she is fast and comfortable. Her deep, 8 foot, keel makes her a spectacular sailing yacht, worthy of trans ocean sailing.

This spacious and finely built yacht is a custom yacht, built to higher specs than most 60 footers, and truly, she is like no other. She is elegant, heavy, hearty, strong, and has excellent access to systems, great storage space, built with heavy fittings and gear, in all, she is an ideal cruising boat for those looking to return safely.

She has three staterooms, one being a commodious master stateroom aft, and she has two heads. The aft cabin, owners stateroom, is sumptuous and large.

Built in England she is proper and luxurious. She has a generator, air conditioning, a big Perkins 120 horsepower diesel engine. She also has a water maker and hurricane diesel furnace heating system.

Her build specs called for a design that could cruise the Caribbean or Mediterranean but also do so in less than ideal conditions, and doing so while owner and crew could return safely.

This is a once in a lifetime chance to get the right boat that has been refined, tested, put thru the paces, checked and rechecked, analyzed and reanalyzed. 

Always owned by great owners, ENDURANCE has pedigree and build quality rarely seen today.

The strut is a cast bronze strut with a cutlass bearing, replaced January 2023.

PTO SYSTEM: at the front of the engine is a PTO system to run hydraulics. Having the main engine do this work is quite beneficial to the person operating the bow thruster as the reserve power by the engine gives an enormous amount of torque to the system. The power comes directly from the crankshaft. There are no belts or gear to foul or break. The flexible coupling, Rex Nord E10, is new 2023. 

Charging 50 amp Delco Remy alternator. BIG alternator is a Balmar alternator with 120 amp 24 VDC capacity (94-24-130GG) for house bank batteries.

ISOLATION TRANSFORMER: 13KVA system from shore power to the vessel. This unit isolates the yachts AC systems from any errant voltage provided from dock power and smoothes out voltage, avoiding power surges. Also, the vessel is not connected to the shore power ground, offering many safety advantages.

BATTERIES:   An impressive battery management system and with enormous capacity, ENDURANCE has two banks of batteries, each with four 8-D batteries, thus EIGHT batteries in her house bank. At 250 ah per battery, the house has 2000 amp hours capacity at 12V. Should you have ever been low on battery power and have said the words "Never again", you'll appreciate the incredible extra capacity of this yachts systems.

HEAT Hurricane heater. via diesel. Hydronic heat. ITR Hurricane II hydronic. 

WASHER DRYER Splendide 2100XC Washer dryer in cabinet near guest cabins.

Why have a chilled water system versus individual AC units in each cabin. First, a Chilled water Type Air handler is more efficient. Remember that a chiller creates cold water by refrigerating the water and circulating it around the boat. In the case of being in a hot area with cooled ocean water, the chiller cools its own water with sea water. For that all you need is a pump and a heat exchanger. Also, maintenance is easier, and less mysterious. Second, Cooling is far smoother, in that the whole boat may be cooled far faster and with less headaches.

The skeg hung rudder is a Fibreglass blade with stainless steel framework welded to a large Stainless rudder shaft. The rudder is Foam cored. Upper bearings and bronze heel casting as gudgeon. The wheel is stainless on pedestal with hydraulic ram. Auto pilot  mated to the steering quadrant. Nearly a bullet proof system.

Sails: North Sails Roller furling mainsail, Roller furling staysail and Roller furling genoa – all in great condition.

Two additional Spinnakers stored aboard.

Rod rigging. Norseman end fittings.

Rigging, back stay and vang recently (2023) rebuilt by Zimmerman.
Navtec pump currently being rebuilt by Factory. February 2023.

Winches, roller furlers, and windlass are hydraulic. Additionally, these may also be driven electrically from Lewmar Vickers electric pumps. Note the house bank of batteries consists of EIGHT 8-D batteries. This makes for quiet cruising as neither generator nor engine need to run.
