Eric discovered sailing and diving in college in a most unlikely place, Lubbock, Texas. But after graduation, he remedied that and moved to the Texas coast, where there was wind, salt water, and an airport to take him anywhere. He is one of those people whose hobby got entirely out of control, and he has been involved in Scuba instruction since 1988, teaching people of all ages to dive and move beyond the ordinary with side mount and rebreather diving. He and his wife, Ann, have owned a diving facility for over 34 years. His favorite thing to ask people is, “Are you having fun yet?” Eric is looking for their next boat, having sold their Beneteau First 38 sailboat.

Endeavour 32 Used Boat Review

The Endeavour 32 began life back in 1970 as the Irwin 32. Ted Irwin designed her as a dual-purpose cruiser-racer before the development of the IOR. By 1975, the IOR was in full swing, and boats such as the Irwin 32 were obsolete as racers, since PHRF had not yet emerged to help handicap non-competitive boats raced at the club level. Although the Irwin 32 and the Endeavour 32 look identical and have the same displacement, the Endeavour 32 is listed by the builder as being 4" wider, 4" longer overall, and 6" longer on the waterline.
