Tyler Custom 62 cutter

SUPERB OFFERING:

Endurance is an elegant and proper, long legged, super cruiser capable of fast, comfortable and safe passage making. Her Robert Perry hull was designed for cruising, but make no mistake, Perry likes fast sailboats, and she is not grandpa's old Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser with 4 out of the 8 cylinders firing: She is fast, all the while offering impressive stability.

But her most impressive characteristic cannot be conveyed by words: HER HANDLING and OUTSTANDING SEA KEEPING. Endurance feels like a ship in the worst of conditions and in the best, sailing a Ferrari in consummate luxury. She sails exceedingly well. After all, she is deeply bilged, giving her a lot of stability, and she has power in her 88' rig. 

She is a yacht capable of deep water passage work and she is not a lightly skinned bay sailor. She is beefy, durable, stable and seaworthy for real cruising and she is fast and comfortable. Her deep, 8 foot, keel makes her a spectacular sailing yacht, worthy of trans ocean passages as readily as daysailing around the buoys on Friday night..

This spacious and finely built yacht is a custom yacht, all the while, she is elegant, heavy, hearty, strong, and has excellent access to systems, great storage space, built with heavy fittings and gear, in all, she is an ideal cruising boat for those looking to return safely.

She has three staterooms, one being a commodious master stateroom aft, and she has three heads. The aft cabin, owners stateroom, is sumptuous and large. There are also two showers and the forward head has an integral shower.

Built in England of proper and luxurious genetics, she has a big six cylinder Perkins 135 diesel, a large generator capable of handling all loads simultaneously, big boat style chilled water air conditioning system, Isolation transformer, huge battery bank, the right gear through and through. She also has a water maker and hurricane diesel furnace heating system, larger than life Lewmar Bow thruster, a real PTO from the front of the main engine, Rondal furlers, serious rigging, a real boat in every respect. Nothing cheap. All the right gear.

Her build specs called for a design that could cruise Oceans and day cruise the Caribbean or Mediterranean in less than ideal conditions, and doing so while owner and crew could return without tossing cookies.

This is a once in a lifetime chance to get the right boat that has been refined, tested, put thru the paces, checked and rechecked, analyzed and reanalyzed. She has had a mini refit and a thorough check thru of all systems in the interest of making her safe and dependable. 

Always owned by great owners, ENDURANCE has pedigree and build quality rarely seen today. Only for sale due to her owners change in plans. Currently in Savannah for maintenance, available to serious prospects.

This is a family heirloom passed onto future generations.

MECHANICAL

ENGINE: Perkins 6 cylinder diesel propulsion engine, 4M-135 model; 135 horsepower at 2800 rpms; ventilation blower; Reduction gear; fresh water cooling for engine and transmission. Water cooled drop feed exhaust with water drop muffler.  Transmission cooler.

The strut is a cast bronze strut with a cutlass bearing, replaced January 2023.

PTO SYSTEM: at the front of the engine is a PTO system to run hydraulics. Having the main engine do this work is quite beneficial to the person operating the bow thruster as the reserve power by the engine gives an enormous amount of torque to the system. The power comes directly from the crankshaft. There are no belts or gear to foul or break. The flexible coupling, Rex Nord E10, is new 2023. 

Charging 50 amp Delco Remy alternator. BIG alternator is a Balmar alternator with 120 amp 24 VDC capacity (94-24-130GG) for house bank batteries.

ISOLATION TRANSFORMER: 13KVA system from shore power to the vessel. This unit isolates the yachts AC systems from any errant voltage provided from dock power and smoothes out voltage, avoiding power surges. Also, the vessel is not connected to the shore power ground, offering many safety advantages.

BATTERIES:   An impressive battery management system and with enormous capacity, ENDURANCE has two banks of batteries, each with four 8-D batteries, thus EIGHT batteries in her house bank. At 250 ah per battery, the house has 2000 amp hours capacity at 12V. Should you have ever been low on battery power and have said the words "Never again", you'll appreciate the incredible extra capacity of this yachts systems.

Large Cruiseair Bronze centrifugal pump PSE1500BX for primary chiller, and Scot centrifugal Chiller circulator pump. March DC circulator pump for hydronic heating system.

HEAT Hurricane heater. via diesel. Hydronic heat. ITR Hurricane II hydronic. 

WASHER DRYER Splendide 2100XC Washer dryer in cabinet near guest cabins.

Why have a chilled water system versus individual AC units in each cabin. First, a Chilled water Type Air handler is more efficient. Remember that a chiller creates cold water by refrigerating the water and circulating it around the boat. In the case of being in a hot area with cooled ocean water, the chiller cools its own water with sea water. For that all you need is a pump and a heat exchanger. Also, maintenance is easier, and less mysterious. Second, Cooling is far smoother, in that the whole boat may be cooled far faster and with less headaches.

STEERING

The skeg hung rudder is a Fibreglass blade with stainless steel framework welded to a large Stainless rudder shaft. The rudder is Foam cored. Upper bearings and bronze heel casting as gudgeon. The wheel is stainless on pedestal with hydraulic ram. Auto pilot  mated to the steering quadrant. Nearly a bullet proof system.
