"Endeavour"
1972 Mariner 40, Hull# 61
Owners: Steven Spivey - Santa Barbara, CA - USA
PREVIOUS OWNER:
My name is Gregory Drennen and I live aboard my 40 foot Mariner in San Pedro
Ca. I don't know of much of her history for sure. I suspect that she did
some crusing from Alaska to South America, as there are plenty of old charts
aboard from these areas. I was told that she also visited Hawaii, and of
course made it here from her birthplace in Japan under her own canvas. The
previous owner seems to think that she had been grounded twice, but I could
find no evidence of it during survey and haulout.
I have been in contact with Mike the owner of "Rainbow Chaser"
about hull numbers. He contacted the Coast Guard and found out that there
are multiple hull #61s reported, so they use the document number exclusively
for their purposes.
I'll send photos when I can. She suffered from a healthy amount of neglect
for about 3 years before I purchased her last November, as the previous
owner had moved quite a distance away due to work.
I have plenty of work ahead of me and will probably be looking for advice
as I get stumped.
