COMMENTS
This Endeavour 37 has the hard to find Plan-B layout with teak bowsprit and dolphin striker. SOTERIA is the Greek word for “salvation” and that she has been! A comfortable sailboat for coastal cruising. Her sea-keeping on Lake Michigan has been superb. Safe for large family and children. The cockpit is large and well-shielded from weather by the new dodger/bimini, and it provides abundant, safe seating for owners and guests. The Plan-B layout offers a very generous, light-filled, salon space for the long-term cruiser or live-aboard. Teak combing and cap rail was sanded and given three coats of Cetol in 2006; the bottom was sanded & given an ablative paint coating in 2005. SOTERIA has been well maintained, with many upgrades in the past three years. She's ready to go cruising!
