Hi All,

Great Forum - lots of essential information. I hope to soon be a Endevour owner and also contribute.

I have 24 hours to decide on the purchase of an e19 and am a little unsure on a couple of the details as is the seller.

What weight would this be? With the Snub Keel
Is Launching and twoing a e19 from a trailer really feasible - or a logistical nightmare?
Ditto for mast raising constantly?

I love the shape of it and the fact it look so seaworthy in comparision to "trailer sailers" and so am very attracted to it.

Any information would be greatly appreciated !

I can be contacted at karl@sklenars.net

Hi Karl,
The E19 is described in the Endeavour Blue Book. She displaced 1380lbs when new, but is most likely heavier now, draft is 2 ft 10 inches, so the trailer would need to be fully immersed to get her on. This could be a problem at soom launching ramps. My advice look around for an E24 which is a better proposition.
