About the Endeavourcat 34

Built by Endeavour Catamaran Corp. beginning in 1996, this compact catamaran represents an accessible entry point into multihull sailing for coastal cruisers and weekend sailors. The shallow 2.83-foot draft opens up skinny-water anchorages and beach access that monohulls can only dream of, while the 14.5-foot beam provides impressive stability and deck space for a 34-footer. With twin 10-horsepower engines, the Endeavourcat 34 offers reliable redundancy for maneuvering in tight quarters or when winds die. The fractional sloop rig keeps sail handling manageable for smaller crews, though the generous sail area delivers respectable performance when conditions allow. The fiberglass construction prioritizes durability and ease of maintenance over exotic lightweight materials. This design particularly suits coastal cruising where shoal draft and stability matter more than offshore passage-making capability. The catamaran configuration virtually eliminates heeling, creating a more comfortable platform for families and those prone to seasickness. While not designed for serious bluewater voyaging, the Endeavourcat 34 excels in protected waters, offering the space and comfort advantages of a multihull without the complexity and expense of larger catamarans.

Performance Ratios
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
11.75
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
2.8
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 7.68 kn
S# (Speed Number) The Speed Number (S#) is a quick performance index. Higher values indicate a faster, more powerful design relative to its size.
Under 3.0 — Slow cruiser3.0–5.0 — Average cruiser5.0–7.0 — Performance cruiserOver 7.0 — Racer

Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 10.2 pounds/inch
SA/Displacement (Calc) Calculated Sail Area to Displacement ratio using actual measured sail dimensions rather than reported values. More precise than the reported SA/Disp figure. 17.98
