Endeavour 37 Ketch Sailboat Boat Vehicle Description "Capella" is for sale! This East-coast veteran has been up and down the East-coast of the United States almost every year since 2000 ... both off-shore and along the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (ICW). Check out the first few minutes of this video to see her underway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YkxWTlfieU This is a rare "Tall-Rig" Cutter-ketch with a 51' main mast ... perfect for light airs yet safe and stable in a blow when reefed (Slab main and mizzen reefing, "Profurl" headsail reefing). This "Tall-Rig" was an extra cost factory option that required the addition of a bowsprit and bob-stay which make the vessel closer to 40 feet overall. I have a blueprint that states that her draft is 4 feet 6 inches, but she probably draws more like 5 feet when loaded for cruising. Safe and reliable, fully equiped for coastal cruising ... or further. Extensive equipment list includes three headsails, a main staysail, two mains, a mizzensail and a mizzen staysail; a four person off-shore liferaft; "Raytheon" ST-4000 Auto Pilot. Additional pictures have been added: The Auto-Pilot control panel is shown on the port side near the helm. Also two views of the navigation and chart table showing the Standard Horizon model 180 chart plotter and the Raytheon R10 radar screen. The radar screen is mounted on an articulated arm which enables it to be easily moved out of the way when not in use. Three anchors: Primary: A 45# Danforth on 110 feet of 3/8" BB chain with an additional 100 feet of 5/8" nylon rode. Secondary: A 35# Bruce on 20 feet of 3/8" chain with 125 feet of 5/8" nylon rode. (Both on a Muir Hercules, two-speed chain & rope manual windlass.) Kedge: A 35# Danforth on 20 feet of chain and 100 feet of new 5/8" nylon rode. Reliable Perkins 4-108 engine pushes her along at 6 knots at 2000 RPM and sips fuel at 9/10ths of a gallon per hour at that speed, through a three-blade "feathering" (NOT "folding") propeller; Many engine spares include a spare alternator, spare starter, four spare injectors and a spare propeller. Also ... a shaft mounted "Spurs line-cutter" minimizes the chance of getting entangled in a lobster or crab trap. Below decks, "Capella" sleeps six or less ... very comfortable for a couple. This is not a stripped down, fiberglass shell: High quality mahogany woodwork abounds. Some potential buyers have asked about headroom. Here are the facts ... in the interior: Main saloon: 75", Near sink in galley: 73", In the head: 72", The door frame between the forward compartment and the main saloon: 72". A permanent bulkhead mounted, kerosene/diesel fueled, cabin heater with removable stack is visible in one of the included photos. The porcelain "head" is only a year old. Complete galley. See the photos ... Above decks: all lifelines replaced within the last two years, the dodger is almost new (only one year old) made by Thurston Canvas on a stainless steel frame. Three Sunbrella awnings (for use when not underway) provide rain and sun protection and effectively extends the useable living area to her roomy cockpit. Naturally, docking lines are included ... lots of dock lines and fenders. Navigation and safety equipment includes Raytheon R10 radar (16 mile range); two depth sounders; a new Standard Horizon GPS chart plotter; a portable, handheld GPS unit; Datamarine mast mounted wind speed and direction instrument; Datamarine digital speed (thru the water) instrument; two VHF radios ... one built in and the other portable handheld. A Raytheon wheel mounted auto pilot operates independently or can accept "XTE" input from the GPS chart plotter. (They are not connected at present, but I understand it is a straight forward "Plug-to-plug" job.) ... just returned from a summer cruise in Chesapeake Bay, she has been hauled and is presently in stored out of the water in a secure marina in Fort Pierce, Florida . Can be delivered anywhere on the East-coast. Bonus! Buy-it-now price will include a new (purchased July 2009) Zodiac 8 1/2 foot inflateable dinghy with an inflateable keel and a very good 8 HP Yamaha outboard motor. Together: a $2000 value! You won't find another coastal cruiser this well equipped anywhere! Don't let her get away! Here are some questions and answers from a previous eBay listing for this boat: Q: What a boat!! I love it! What would it cost to deliver it back to the Chesapeake? A: Captains typically charge $100 to $150 per day plus airfare. It's about 1000 miles and Capella is capable of doing 60 or 70 miles a day on the ICW. So .. about two weeks and a couple thousand dollars. Q: NICE BOAT, IS THERE REFRIGERATION/FREEZER? CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM? ENGINE HOURS? ANY ISSUES WITH ENGINE OR TRANNY? DECK SOFT SPOTS, HATCH LEAKS ETC? ARE SAILS RIGGING AND ROLLER FURLER IN GOOD CONDITION? BRAND OF ROLLER FURLER? IS STEERING MECHANICAL OR HYDROLIC? CAN I CALL YOU TO SEE THE BOAT? THANKS. A: Yes, there is a Norcold refrigerator that runs off both 12 VDC and shore power. It has a small freezer compartment. The engine has 3900 hours on it. The engine burns about 1/2 quart of oil in a 10 hour day ... that is the only engine issue I am aware of. The Hurth transmission works fine ... no problems. The steering is mechanical Edson cable, pulley and quadrant type. The headsail reefing is a Profurl unit ... it works smoothly and I have had no problems with it. The headsails are cut and made so that they retain good shape when reefed. There are no deck soft spots hatch leaks. I'd rather not post my phone number here because of the large number of page views. If you wish, you may send a message to me thru the eBay "ask a question" link. Include your phone number and we will call you and arrange for you to see her. I hope this will be OK for you. Q How much do the diesel, water, holding tanks hold? What is the battery set up? What is the bottom blister history? Water heater plumed through engine and 110v? A: 55 gallon diesel, 110 gallon fresh water. The holding tank holds 15 gallons. The batteries are divided into two groups: "Household" and "Starting." The house battery is a 12V Deep-Cycle Marine Size 8D; 20 3/4in x 11 1/8in x 9 7/8in ... it is BIG! There are two starting batteries: both are 12V Deep- Cycle Marine Group 27 6-3/4" x 12-1/2" x 9-3/8" on separate circuits. There are no blisters that I am aware of. The water heater heats water from both the engine block (when running) and a 110 volt shore power circuit when docked. Q: Can you tell me how the feathering prop works? Is there a control to feather it, or is it automatic when stopped? And how about reversing? And can you tell me about that heater? I'm unfamiliar. Is it plumbed to the fuel tank, or must it be filled separately? How is it controlled? How long will it run? Any numbers on output (btu's or whatever)? Love your boat! A: It is a "Max-prop" three blade propeller, internally geared. It automatically rotates its blades when the prop shaft reverses. This design gives you the same power in reverse as in forward. To feather it, like when sailing, you turn off the engine and put the transmission in reverse. The blades begin to reverse but go only half way; aligning themselves with the prop shaft. This presents the smallest area to the water slipping by the hull thereby reducing drag. For a complete description go to http://www.max-prop.com. This propeller retails now for $3050 ... I believe I paid $2200 in 2001. The heater is a drip feed type. It has its own plastic tank located under the counter in the head. I do not know what its BTU output is, but it warms up the saloon quickly on the rare times I have used it. The fact is, living in Florida, I have not used it for years and it probably needs to be disassembled and cleaned. But it is a dead simple system and should be easy to fix up with some solvent and pipe cleaners.
