Brand: Endeavour 30

Considering a LOA of 30 feet, the Endeavourcat 30 has the interior space of a 40-foot mono-hull. There are two double berth staterooms, a head with a large walk-in shower, a spacious galley and a large U-shaped dining area. Headroom is an incredible six feet, four inches.

The cockpit is very large. The stability of this multi-hull catamaran makes the wide cockpit work. This boat was designed and built by Endeavour Catamaran Corp. as a comfortable coastal cruiser and live aboard boat. The symmetrical hulls of the catamaran are separated by a V-shaped center section that Endeavour calls a Hydra-cell. The flats have recessed tunnels. It makes the inside of the boat roomy and spacious in height. Sails quietly and easily reaches 7.5 knots in light winds with a comfortable seat in the water.

The Endeavourcat 30 design began life as a 28-foot cat-rigged catamaran (Intercat 1500) originally designed by Rob Ladd and later owned by Bill Symons. The Endeavour 30, Intercat 1500 and the Americat 3014 are essentially all the same boat, and made in the same mold. The main difference being the Intercat and the Endeavour/Americat is a two foot extension in the stern /cabins and the sail plan. The boats appear the same from the companionway forward. Symons at one time licensed the molds to Endeavour. However with the changes in ownership of a reorganizing Endeavour the licensing agreement was terminated and the molds were transferred to America Cruising Yacht Corporation (a reorganized Irwin). The Endeavour 30 has a jib. The other two boats are Cat rigged boats which are easier to sail.
