The attention to detail that you see throughout the interior of Endeavour yachts is also evident  up on deck. The latest materials and deck layout are evident. The mainsail is fully battened so there's no more flapping around in heavy weather. With the full llength battens and the rigid boom vang, the mainsail holds its shape under all points of sail, even in the lightest air. To perform a tack, all you have to do is turn the steering wheel. Both main and jib are completely self-tacking. This is one sailing yacht that will not wear you out. When lowering sail, both sails fall neatly into lazy-jacks and a Boom Bag for the main is attached permanently to the foot of the sail so it's always right where you need it.
EndeavourCats are designed to be sailed single-handed, making them ideal for a husband and wife crew. All lines lead to the cockpit and are color coded for easy identification.  Sheet stoppers make sheet control simple and easy.  It's no accident that they're at the right height and angle for minimum friction and ease of operation. You can raise, lower and reef the sails without ever leaving the safety of the cockpit.  Two speed winches are standard, and the optional electric winches make sail handling as easy as pushing a button. ec44sail-sheets.jpg (12042 bytes)
