32' Endeavour 32 Cruisers

Accommodations

The interior of the Endeavour 32 is a molded fiberglass unit with bulkheads and cabinetry fastened to it with screws, bolts, and adhesives. The entire unit is pre-assembled outside the boat and then placed inside a hull with ballast and engine already in place. It is bonded in place with woven roving and mat, that when completed, forms a single unit structure having great strength and rigidity.
The interior is finished with varnished teak with soft white overheads. The cabin sole is teak parquet. The interior layout is typical with a V-berth forward, the head (to port) and lockers (starboard) divide it from the main salon area which has a fold-up dining table. The port side settee pulls out to create a double berth, the starboard is a single. Aft and to port is a pilot berth and to starboard is the galley with an icebox and a gimbaled 3-burner alcohol stove with oven. The electrical panel is located immediately under the companionway, and the stairs remove to allow access to the engine.
There are 10 opening ports (Beckson) and two large Atkins-Hoyle deck hatches (strong drop forged aluminum with 3/4" Lexan), one each over the v-berth and salon area.

Virtually all wiring is located high and accessable by removing panels from under the side decks. All wiring is 10 gauge stranded copper with crimp type connectors used at all junctions or terminals. All wiring is color coded with DC wiring as two wire and AC as three wire. Metallic fittings (through hulls, etc.) below the water line are electrically bonded together with 8 gauge copper wire and connected to the ships common ground. The battery configuration consistes of (3) 12-volt house/starting batteries.

All spars (mast, boom, and spreaders) are extruded aluminum 6061-T6 alloy, with a protective coating an all external surfaces. The main mast on the E-32 is stepped on deck with a supporting post immediately under the mast inside the cabin. The spars are Kenyon and consist of a single spreader mast, and boom with single reefing capabilities and sheeting about 2/3s the way aft attached to a companionway traveler.
The standing rigging has all been replaced and is made of stainless steel wire. The forestay attaches to the stem head fitting at the bow. This is fabricated of welded stainless steel backup plates and through bolted to the hull. All other stays and shrouds are attached to chainplates at the edge of the deck and are through bolted to the hull. Additional fiberglass reinforcement is molded into the hull in all chainplate areas. The forestay, backstay, and uppers are made of 1/4" stainless steel wire, and the lowers are made of 3/16". All halyards are run externally to #32 Lewmar winches mounted on the mast. Sheets are led to #40 Lewmar self tailing winches in the cockpit. Sheet lead blocks clip to the toerail. The main sheet traveler is mounted on the companionway 'bridge deck'.

• New standing rigging

• Late model Selden Roller Furling

The hull is molded as a single unit of a combination of polyester resin and fiberglass woven roving and multidirectional chopped strand fiber (MCSF). The keel is molded integrally with the hull and all ballast is contained inside. The deck and cockpit, like the hull, are molded as a single unit of a combination of polyester resin and fiberglass woven roving and MCSF. Plywood coring is incorporated between layers of fiberglass in the cabin top, deck, seat, and cockpit sole areas to give additional stiffness. The non-skid finish is molded into the deck. The exterior finish is pigmented gelcoat molded onto the fiberglass. The boot and sheer stripe are also gelcoat molded permanently into the hull.
The hull-to-deck joint is a 'flange' type, which during assembly, is liberally coated with a combination adhesive/sealant. The deck is then lowered onto the hull and fastened in place with stainless steel thru-bolts. The toe rail is then installed, bedded in a heavy layer of the same compound and secured in place.
There is an anchor well at the bow with a haws pipe feeding the anchor rode into the v-berth locker, there are teak grab rails on the cabin top and a large aft cockpit with good back rests and storage lockers. The companionway goes down to seat height, about 12" above the cockpit sole, and has three drop boards. The present owner has also fabricated a separate companionway board with louvers for ventilation.
