Endurance 35 (Ibold design)

I've just taken delivery of my new Endurance 35. Actually its one year old. Does anyone out there have experience with this design? My intentions are- coastal cruising. Thanks, Bondy.

My brother sailed round the world in one in the 70's. His was a ferrocement model but as far as I know he was very pleased with the boat and has gone on to build a larger Ibold designed boat (40ft. Triton in West epoxy / strip planking. Now for sale at a bargain price if anyone's interested)

I have recently purchased a 35ft Endurance ketch (mine is ferro-cement) in Western Australia and I am wondering if there is anyone out there with one. I am aware that Windboats of Wroxham produced a number to this design in F-C in the 70s. I am very impressed with the design and it is eminently suitable for the conditions we experience here (in summer 20-30 knot sea breezes). I would be interested to hear of other's experiences.
