Your Sailing Experience:
Libertine is my first real sail boat. I also volunteer as a crewmember aboard Elissa, a historic 1877 Barque berthed in Galveston. I've located a first mate and am shopping for a slightly larger boat (maybe an E-37, although Morgan 38s look nice!) for an extended cruise.

Boat Review:
I've been very pleased with my Endeavour. It's been a great boat for learning the ropes. I do wish they had squeezed a chart table in and a better door (apart from the head door) for closing off the v-berth. Apart from those two things and a bit of storage deficiency, I wouldn't be looking to upgrade to a larger boat now. The reliability of the Endeavour and its Yanmar engine have been wonderful. Regular maintenance is rewarded with wonderful sailing performance.
