Endeavour was built in Largo Florida for many years and in many models. The one used on Miami Vice was the model “Endeavour 42†meaning it was 42 feet long. This boat was only built from 1985 – 1991 with only about 257 units ever made. At the time of filming of season one, this would have been a BRAND NEW boat and would have fetched an easy 200 grand plus! Today they are still fetching 100 – 150 grand easily depending on condition, for their rarity and sailing capabilities as well as the luxurious interiors. These are still highly sought after vessels.This “Sloop†had lots of headroom at 6’4†and 7 berths, so lots of sleeping room. Center cockpit layout with 1 forward double v-berth, 1 single settee, 1 double convertible settee (circular or traditional dinette), 1 aft double, 2 heads w/showers, so…quite livable indeed!The boat weighed in at about 25,000lbs and had a capsize rate of 1.78 (anything less than 2.0 is preferred) so in essence it was a very stable boat. Top speed was about 7.7 knots so it was no race horse, but could cruise nicely. Easily handled by one man if the jib was “auto-unfurling†but not impossible to man by ones-self?These boats were moderate design boats suitable for offshore work, with taller rigs and inboard chainplates. At this point Endeavour stopped using the Klegecell core and returned to using end-grain balsa in the sheer-to-waterline areas, plywood where compression strength was needed for thru bolting hardware, and incorporated a structural grid system built up of triaxial fiberglass encapsulated urethane foam. The Endeavour 42 is considered to be an ideal and indulgent sailboat for beginners and advanced persons. The comfortable equipment (2 sperate cabins with shower and toilet each) makes it possible that two couples can stay on the boat without getting in each other's way. The spacious lounge and navigation alcove top off the supply of space. Die Endeavour 42 gilt als vorzügliches und gutmütiges Segelboot für Anfänger und Fortgeschrittene. Die komfortable Ausrüstung mit 2 separaten Kajüten macht es möglich dass sich 2 Paare ohne einenander in die Quere zu kommen auf dem Boot aufhalten können dank 2 separater Toiletten und Duschen. Der grosszügige Aufenthaltsraum und die Navigationsnische runden das Platzangebot ab.Sonny lives on the St. Vitus dance for the periods of being undercover. Because in these times he hardly can go home to wife and son. During a visit on the boat in the episode of "Hit List" his chief Lt. Lou Rodriguez was shot dead by a killer's sniper rifle. Actually the bullet was meant for Sonny. Sonny benutzt die "St. Vitus Dance" als Unterschlupf während seiner Undercover-Phasen, da er dann schlecht nach Hause zu Frau und Kind fahren kann. In der Folge "Calderon's Rückkehr Teil 1" wird sein Vorgesetzter Lt. Lou Rodriguez bei einem Besuch auf dem Boot von einem Turm aus von einem Killer mit einem Scharfschützengewehr erschossen, die Kugel war eigentlich für Sonny bestimmt.Except for some occasional visits by Gina only Elvis (alligator) is "living" on Sonny's boat. The alligator holds off unbidden guests from deck. The boat always lays well moored at the Miamarina of Miami. Auf dem Boot lebt er, von Ginas gelegentlichen Besuchen mal abgesehen, nur mit seinem Alligator 'Elvis' zusammen, welcher auch ungebetene Besucher von Deck fernhält.Das Boot liegt stets angetäut in der Miamarina von Miami.Thanks to Don and Stinger 390X for the contributions.Danke an Don und Stinger 390X für den Beitrag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
