The Endurance 37 is a true, blue water cruiser of substantial build and proven design.  Her well planned accommodation can sleep up to eight in comfort, whilst her deep cockpit, heavy layup and uncluttered decks provide safe access forward and stability underway. 

This particular example has been extensively upgraded over the past three years. A brand new Nanni N50 50hp diesel engine and stern gear were fitted in November 2021 (10 hours run).  A new suit of sails, sprayhood with full cockpit canopy, replacement rudder, new standing rigging, electronics package, all batteries, Victron Inverter/charger and so much more have all been replaced at considerable effort and expense.  

Excellent opportunity to acquire a "go anywhere" cruiser in turn key condition with a virtually brand new, reliable engine and an abundance of new and upgraded equipment.
