hi all i just brought my first yacht a endeavour 24 great little clean boat but i believe some of the rigging is missing and what is there is no set right does anyone have any knowledge of these boats or know where i could find rigging set up info
In the early 70's I used to own a mk2 Endeavour 24. They were a very common yacht around here at the time. The one in the photo above is a Mk1, the main difference is the Mk2 had a stepped cabin line and a sight increase in headroom. Had a Volvo outboard in a well which was a nightmare.
You will need a topping lift. Interesting mainsail with a flattening reef and then two fairly small reefs. I would rig the main with reefing lines back to the cockpit and use lazy jacks for the main. I would give the main a good going over on the lawn with truck wash and a soft broom and see if you can reduce the stains. The basic layout for the control lines looks pretty good, this was somebody's pride and joy club racer a few years ago. I would rig it using the standard layout for modern small yachts for convenience and efficiency, would not worry too much on how it was done in the 60's and 70's.
This was mine on Jervis Bay. Ended up in Canberra!
Try contacting Colin Cole at endeavour marine service he is president of the association they are based in Sans-Souci nsw at bbyc the club Reg Gardiner founded with Endeavour 24's
Finally got the half of tonne of muscles and barnacles of the bum and picked up 4 knots
