Endurance 35
Description
The Endurance 35 is a classic long-distance bluewater cruising sailboat designed by Peter Ibold (Peter A. Ibold) in the late 1960s/early 1970s, originally winning acclaim as a top cruising design in competitions and becoming highly regarded for its sturdy, seaworthy qualities suitable for offshore passages and liveaboard use. It has been built in various materials—including wood, steel, ferro-cement, and fiberglass (GRP/FRP)—by amateur homebuilders and professional yards worldwide, with notable professional builders including Dekleer Brothers Ltd. (Canada, often associated with staysail ketch versions), Vicente Belliure (Spain, cutter-rig variants), Windboats Ltd., and others; estimates suggest hundreds constructed overall (professional builds in the dozens to low hundreds, plus many home/composite builds), though exact totals vary due to its popularity as a DIY/project boat. The design emphasizes a heavy displacement, long keel for tracking and stability, center cockpit layout in many examples for protection and interior space, comfortable accommodations (typically berths for 5–7, full head, galley, and saloon), and versatile rig options (staysail ketch, cutter, or sloop); it's not fast but excels in heavy weather, comfort, and reliability, often described as "steady, sturdy, and comfortable" with good load-carrying ability for extended cruising.
