Endeavor 1997 Taswell 49 $289,000
The Taswell 49 does not disappoint. The dedication that designer Bill Dixon and world-renowned Ta Shing boatyard have to superior build quality and detail produce some of the most sought after blue water cruising boats available. With performance in mind, Endeavor sails well on and off the wind and also provides exceptional interior accommodations. Her spacious main salon features three staterooms and two heads, both with separate showers, and is finished in gorgeous satin varnished teak that is second to none. Having undergone a refit under her current owners, Endeavor is well prepared for world cruising under new owners.
⇑⇓ A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT I just read your response to a letter in the September issue [which said, "Latitude is just not as good without Richard at the helm"], and I wanted to tell you that you echoed my reaction to that letter perfectly. Times have changed, and seem to be changing drastically — which can be scary. At times, we don't know where to tack to stay with the wind, which is equally as scary as we get older. But I wanted to stress that I think you're doing a great job. The blog and the online presence are getting stronger, and it's clear you're taking strides to stay current. Just wanted to send you a little encouragement. Marianne Armand Vallejo ⇑⇓ DANKE FOR DOING THE DELTA DOO DAH I wanted to thank you and Latitude 38 for hosting the Delta Doo Dah. It was another excellent time exploring a world so very different than the San Francisco Bay. If it weren't for the Doo Dah, I very much doubt I would manage to get myself up on the Delta.

Getting on the Delta is easier than you think when you do the Doo Dah. The crew of the Alameda-based Hunter 38 'Apogee' are hard at work relaxing from their floating lounge in Owl Harbor.
The organization, the events, the encouragement, the prizes, the talks, the food, the support and the fun all conspired to get Hokahey out there to broaden our horizons. I also want to thank Eric at Delta Bay Marina. They do a stellar job hosting the Doo Dah fleet. You guys rock. Jan Passion Hokahey, Seawind 1000 Richmond ⇑⇓ SPEAKING OF EXCUSES TO GET ON THE WATER… When you race, you commit to sailing for the day, and go where you have to go, in whatever the current conditions are, which is always good sailing experience. Non-race people tend to keep it easy and stay away from rougher conditions. I can't remember how many times I get to the dock, look out at the water and say, "No I just don't feel like dealing with that today." But racing forces you to deal with it. Greg Clausen Pacific Northwest ⇑⇓ WHAT YOU SAID Exactly! A race makes me commit to a date, regardless, put it on the calendar, and get out there. Otherwise, I'll just end up lollygagging the day away with the dog. Deirdre
