Endeavour 37 Yawl
Description
The Endeavour 37 Yawl is a robust, heavy-displacement cruising yawl designed by Dennis Robbins (with modifications to an original Ray Creekmore 34 hull) and built by Endeavour Yacht Corporation in Largo, Florida, from 1977 to 1983. As one of four rig options for the popular Endeavour 37 line (alongside sloop, cutter, and ketch), the yawl configuration divides the sail area between a shorter main mast and a small mizzen aft of the rudder, promoting balanced handling, easy reefing, and self-steering qualities—ideal for short-handed offshore passages or coastal cruising. With approximately 476 total Endeavour 37s produced (yawl being a minority variant), it's celebrated for its spacious interior, strong fiberglass construction, and value as a liveaboard or blue water-capable boat.
