Design

The Endeavor 26 is a racing keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig; a spooned, raked stem, a raised counter, angled transom, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 32000NaN0 and carries 16000NaN0 of lead ballast.[1] [2]

The boat has a draft of 4feet with the standard keel.[1] [2]

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settees in the main cabin. The head is located centered in the bow cabin under the "V"-berth.[1] [2]

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of 340square feet.[1] [2]
