Experience:
My wife and I have been sailing for 8 yrs on Mark Twain Lake in Mo. We started out with a 1975 Catalina 25. It was not so cumfy so we purchased a new 28 Catalina which we sailed for 3 yrs. I saw my first 35 Endeavour in St Louis on the Mighty Miss.(by the way it is still there.The next fall we found Spindrift in Nashville Tn on Percy Priest Lake. We just went to look and came back proud owners of an Endeavour. We love the way she sails and how comfortable she is for the 5 of us (three dogs). We have also chartered twice in BVI, twice in Florida, once on Lake Superior and next year in Maine.
Just got finished redoing the teak on the outside. What a job removing varnish.Thistime I used cetal. Hope it lasts.
Boat Review/Upgrades:
Love sailing her. Very stable boat. Lots of sail area. We have added a Dutchman to the main, stern perch seats, inverter, new head/tank/hoses, deck shower, and next plan to redo the interior cushions. We have removed the salon table (one from a 40 Endvr) and plan to build a wall stowed table similar to the one on the Island Packets. Does any one have plans for one or know where I can get plans. Want to put it in the area which is now occupied by the salon mirror. Any advice or comments would be appreciated.
