Boat Review:
We have really enjoyed the Endeavour 37'as a family cruiser. We have made upgrades each year since the purchase in 1992. Next improvement will be new roller furling. The original Genoa (Stearns) furling drum separated under sail (light winds) 2 weeks ago. I plan to have Harken equipment installed during the off season. We enjoy the lay out of the "B" interior, and it works well for the 2 of us.
