Boat Review/Upgrades:
Basically, I love the Endeavour.I like its steadyness(without being 'stiff')like its balance,and its prdictability..still being able to go 'up wind'in a nice close reach...

Inside, I enjoy its capacity to carry _everything_ inside its closets...logeability...accessibility to the engine room...and abundance of teak wood...I regret the absence of a chart table...and a Navigation corner where to keep open charts without interfering with everyday life inside the ship. Also would appreciate a sheet rail closer to the cabin, which would allow better trimming of the foc,or genoa. Its rigging,is very good quality....but quite basic..
