Endurance 35 — ready to sail blue-water cruiser, extensively refitted for ocean passages.

Endurance 35 built by Belliure Calpe in 1980, designed by Peter Ibold. A serious long-distance cruising yacht, extensively refitted in 2017–2018 for participation in the Golden Globe Race. 

Before the race, a major refit was completed at a Spanish shipyard, with strength tests, new rigging, ballast, and rudder installed. New North Sails, a Volvo Penta D2-40 engine, solar panels, radio, windvane, hydrogenerator, emergency rudder, and fittings for emergency sail rigging were also added.

All work was completed with a no-expense-spared approach, making her truly unique – a ‘Land Rover Defender 4x4 of the ocean.’ In 2023, after returning to the Mediterranean, additional work was done including refreshing the cabin interior, treating the teak deck, installing new portholes, custom-made mattresses, AIS and other equipment.

• Now ready to sail for a new owner, she’s equipped for challenges in the Southern Ocean or for comfortable, confident cruising.
• The yacht available for viewing on Aegina, Greece, from 5 to 10 June.
