Owners Comments and Service History
We purchased Endorphin (nee Local Hero 19) when she was six years old. At that time she was a standard yacht with few extras.
We have a no expense is too much strategy for the care and maintenance of our yacht. With blue-water sailing in mind, we equipped Endorphin with new instruments and chart plotter, a D400 wind generator and a Duo-gen, together with an Icom SSB, radio, and Pactor modem.
In addition I had a large sump type drainage pump fitted to the forward deep bilge. In the unlikelihood of a sinking event this would assist the other pumps to, at the very least, afford time for a remedy, or it could buy time to safely evacuate the yacht. I have calculated that Endorphin, in an emergency has bilge pump capacity to remove about two tons of water per minute. I've luckily never had the misfortune to need test this.

The fully battened mainsail which came with the boat was a beautifully cut sail with a lovely curved roach and excellent power in light winds. But as such I felt it easier that we have a simpler non-battened type made from Hydranet. (This sail was damaged in a storm in the Sumatra Straits.) Although repaired I felt it best to replace it in 2023 with a new one made with Vectran sail cloth).
We set off in 2013 on what turned out to be a 10 year circumnavigation. During that time we purchased many additions for Endorphins compliment of equipment, for example solar panels and a greatly improved watermaker which makes a jaw dropping 250lt of water per hour.
As time passed equipment such as the TV, VHF radio replaced
It has been my philosophy to maintain Endorphin to the highest standards as possible.
Whilst on our voyage we have had her hull painted with Allcraft by one of the top yacht paint companies in New Zealand, a company which at one time was the go to firm which the Kiwis chose to paint their America's cup yachts!
Later, 2022,/3, we had her head lining replaced, the teak decks renewed, the deck Gelcoat painted with Allgrip.
Her engine and genset have been serviced regularly. Complex jobs such as refurbishment of the engine coolers, removal and checking of the propellor shaft and replacement of the two cutlass bearings were carried out as recently as 2022/3.
The bow thruster too has been removed and serviced. The last of these engineering jobs were carried out in Thailand in 2022/3 prior to our trip home via South Africa.
Since our return to Scotland the floorboards have all been re-varnished top and bottom, hull machine sanded and painted with Primacon / International Micron and the hull topsides polished.

The RIB and her 25Hp outboard have both been professionally serviced April 2024. The Hydrolic backstay tensioner has been serviced / rebuilt and a new autohelm hydrolic pump fitted, also 2024.

Whilst visiting remote locations, French Polynesia, , Fiji, Vanuatu and many other locations carrying a large selections of spares seemed wise therefore with the purchase of Endorphin comes some ten or more pumps for various purposes, two spare electric motors for the windlass, an electric motor for the hydrolic dive platform, raw water pumps for both the engine and genset. All these were carried onboard for the ‘what if it should fail’ risk.

All in all Endorphin must be one of the best equipped meticulously maintained blue water sailing vessels of her size, which is ready for whatever her new owner may wish when fulfilling their dream.

Included are 12 deck stored diesel tanks (should they be wanted) and a fuel pump and filtering system. A Hooka diving system for hull cleaning

Two sets of instruments are included. One is a B&G Hydronic 1000 with speed/ log, depth and wind, together with a switchable autohelm (note this autohelm requires some attention).

The main set of instruments is Raymarine ST 60 speed/log, depth, wind and two data heads, all linked to the Raymarine Hibrid touch chart plotter. With the plotter comes all the charts for a world circumnavigation. The chartplotter is linked to a digital AIS sender/receiver and a latest generation compass/autohelm.
