Both the Irwin’s & Endeavour’s were “economy” boats, built to a point.
Unless meticulously maintained (or recently ‘refitted’), they will likely be requiring major . Unless you are capable of (& willing to) doing most of the yourselves, these boats may turn out much more expensive than anticipated.
Only a thorough (& valuation) will reveal whether either of these particular boats will be a bargain, or a money-pit.

There are some good Endeavour 40s out there that have already had the replaced and the step attended to. Know these 2 achilles heels going in and add an E40 to the list of what you are considering. Lots more room for your plans.

Although we are both very handy, boat mechanics are still new to us. What things would you say we should pay special attention on a boat from the 80's, or what kinds of re-fits would be the MOST criticial to have addressed before heading out? Do you know of any problems in particular that either the Endeavour's or the Irwin's are known to have?
Look forward to your feedback!

What are your thoughts?
It appears to have had some upgrades and I like that it's set up to sail single-handed. My concerns (at this point) are: the size of the aft , I've heard a large can be a concern if planning a long-distance cruise (although the size would be nice for sleeping under the stars); and the the size of the , both and water. Other boats we've looked at have 100+ gals of water and 50+ gals of . For those who have lived aboard for a year or more, do you think this should be a deal-breaker?
Lastly, how much negotiating room to you think there could be on this boat?
09-02-2010, 13:23  
is appealing for negotiating , unless it leaves the vulnerable. I like the seperate shower/head modification. Even though the looks very simular to ours, we have a completely different layout. Don't you love boats? No two are alike. The more recent upgrades are nice. As far as the cockpit size, we love it. Make sure it has adaquate drain(s) and leave the lower door section in place because you get hit with big seas. Most trips we've taken we've had additional crew on board so the larger cockpit was a godsend.
In addition to what this boat already has, we've added the following to ours: (just to give you some ideas)
- JRC 16 mile range
- 100 gal/day capacity, 12 V DC
Additional 30 gal. water tank (100 total)
- 150 watts total
- Air-X 400 watts
Doubled the bank capacity
Hydraulic auto pilot independant of the cable
transceiver
- Automatic Identification System
Second at the
New Adler Baurbar air/water cooled for the tropics
dingy davit lifts with automatic launch system
driven air (small, mechanically engaged) for
Second large (can't have too many)
Two stainless folding bikes (don't laugh)
I'm sure I missed something.......... currently replacing all with
LED (expensive)

Our is now at 22,000 lbs. and we didn't have to move the boot stripe so the hull has great buoyancy.

We still only have 30 gal. fuel capacity. There's room for another 20 gallon rubber bladder so I might consider that.

As far as negotiating the , I'd offer $40,000.00 and reluctantly meet them halfway. The above list could run in excess of 30 thousand, especially if you hire it done. We have done 95% of the additions ourselves.

Also, does anyone out there have any with the swing keel? I am curious since I didn't even know Irwin offered that in 1980.

Hope this helps... happy valentine's day

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Irwin Citation 40 (1980) Reveiw

  • Add to quote

Hey all I'm in the market for a big Cruiser., Blue Water Boat. There is a Irwin Citation on the market for less then 60K which it fits into my budget but don't know much about this boat. Anyone with any info on this would be greatly appriciated. I woudl be interested in somenes opinion about how does she handle rough weather? Has anyone had this in rough seas.???? Thanks......  

irwin 40 sailboat

No comments? Looks to be a beautiful boat....  

irwin 40 sailboat

Where do u want to go and what is your top budget. Irwins are fine but never my first choice for long distance cruising. They are great carrib boats or coastal, but Many have blister issues and there could be better boats for long distance cruising. There is no suich thing as a bluewater boat. Tell me your budget and ideal itinerary, I will give u my opinions. Others will also. Brian  

Hey Brian I am looking for something long distance., maybe cross the atlantic in a few years. Ideally under 60K for a 40ft or bigger. Thanks  

At 60 k, that would not be my choice for crossing the Atlantic. I would either go smaller or maybe up my budget to an older Tayana 37 or somthing similar. I highly suggest buying a comfortable live aboard boat that will make you happy versus the boat that you might take somewhere some day. The long distance cruisers are typically expensive have draw backs. If you are serious about this, I am happy to discuss. Brian  

irwin 40 sailboat

Friend has an Irwin 39 of that vintage. Typical build quality for a production boat of that era. And he has had some success in longer PHRF races. But not my choice for crossing oceans.
