This Endeavour 42 is more than just another sailboat, as she has a very unique history.

The "St. Vitus Dance" is a sailing vessel that was the home to James "Sonny" Crockett of the famous Miami Vice television series. While three different yachts were used during the show's five seasons, this Endeavor 42 was introduced in the second season and would remain for the rest of the series. After the show ended, it was sold to a private party and then resold in 2020, fully restored, and then...

This Endeavour 42 is more than just another sailboat, as she has a very unique history.

Crockett used the yacht for entertaining some very special guests over the years, and it was also used to "vanish" witnesses by taking them out to sea, where it would be more difficult for potential hitmen to find them. The yacht was regularly used for surveillance and has anchored in some amazing locations. Crockett still continued to use it as his primary residence for the remainder of the series.

The exterior finish is pigmented gelcoat molded onto the fiberglass. The boot and Sheer stripe are sprayed on a coating of Imron Paint.

The deck and cockpit, like the hull, are molded as a single unit of a combination of polyester resin, fiberglass woven roving, and MCSF. Plywood coring is incorporated between layers of fiberglass in the cabin top, deck, and cockpit sole areas to give additional stiffness. All exterior deck surfaces are a pigmented gelcoat molded onto the fiberglass.

All ballast is internally mounted inside the keel, which is molded integrally with the hull. Cast pieces of lead are placed in the hull, encapsulated in a polyester bonding resin, and then covered with a layer of woven roving to form a fiberglass cap. When finished, the ballast becomes a structural part of the hull.

The rudder is molded as a single piece of solid high-density foam with a protective skin of fiberglass and a gelcoat finish. The foam material is of high-strength structural grade and has exceptional toughness. The rudder post, molded integrally with the rudder, is solid stainless steel, which is welded to a steel blade in the interior of the rudder. Where the rudder post passes through the hull, water tightness is ensured by means of a stuffing box.

The pedestal steering system operates with stainless steel cables rotating a radial quadrant bolted and keyed to the rudder post. The cables run through a conduit attached to a massive steel support frame at the rudder and the motor mount, then to the pedestal, where they are shackled to a stainless steel chain running over a sprocket on the steering wheel shaft.

All spars (mast, boom, and spreaders) are extruded aluminum 6061-T6 alloy, with protective coating on all external surfaces. The mast on the 42 is stepped through the cabin roof onto the keel.

The forestay attaches to the stem head fitting at the bow. This is fabricated of welded stainless steel and through-bolted to the hull with back-up plates. All other stays and shrouds are attached to the chainplates at the edge of the cabin house.

These chainplates are stainless steel fittings, either through-bolting to the main bulkhead or bolted to the rods. Additional fiberglass reinforcement is packed into the hull in all chainplate areas.

All standing rigging is attached to the chainplates with adjustable turnbuckles that allow fine-tuning of the rigging tension.
