Name: Peter Erdo gemcut@compuserve.com
Boat Name: Andante II
Year: 1980
Size: 32' sloop
Date Purchased:1994

Boat History:
Purchased from original owner, Mr. Vern Leslie. He was retired Navy and kept the boat in decent shape. Was not used for about a year so some TLC was needed.

Experience:
Started on Sunfish's during the summer's in upstate NY. Moved to Florida in 1985 and purchased a 25' Catalina in 1987. Kept that until 1993 when we sold it, looking for a bigger boat. Knew the Endeavour reputation and bought the first one we came across!

Boat Review/Upgrades:
This boat is built like rock. Solid feel when in rough seas gives you confidence in the boat as long as you hold out!

Replaced all the ports as all leaked which in turn led to replacing the interior teak verneer plywood. Leaks around the two deck hatches led to replacing the headliner and plywood underneath. I wish the headliner was finsihed out with just fiberglass rather than this arrangement. Any leaks from above travel far and wide from thier origin!

Gelcoat is very thin. No anchor rollers or pulpit although I have seen from afar other 32's with them. Next project.
