1986 Endeavour 42 CC

This 1986 Endeavour 42 CC is a center cockpit cruising yacht designed by Johan Valentijn. The boat measures 42 feet in length with a 13-foot beam and is built from fiberglass with a balsa-core sandwich construction for strength and durability. Power comes from a single 62 hp Perkins diesel engine.

The design emphasizes offshore capability with a taller rig, inboard chain plates, a bowsprit with pulpit rail, and Hood in-mast furling for mainsail handling. Teak rubbing strakes with stainless steel trim and teak chain plate covers provide both protection and finish. The layout includes two staterooms and two heads with composting units, along with teak joinery throughout the interior. The aft cabin features rear-opening ports, and the boat is equipped with an ice maker.

The hull structure employs one inch of balsa grain core sandwich construction to maximize strength while managing weight. The yacht requires some attention but retains solid bones as a capable island cruiser.
