Hedoniste 44 (Endurance 44)

Hello Paul - Thanks for the information, I was not aware of this ketch.

She is called "Friars Goose" and I am not sure if she is laying at Levington or Burnham on Crouch.

I have been told that only about 11 of these Hedoniste 44's were ever built so it will not be a big list. :)

Just like the first Rolls Royce cars that were ever built, where you bought the rolling-chassis and took it to be fitted out at a coach-builder and upholsters, the Hedoniste are finished as a rolled steel hull and fitted out to the specification of the new owner. So far, I have not found any photographs which show that the Hedoniste 44 is 'massed produced'. They all have a totally different built, inside. :)

Thanks again, still looking for Hedoniste 44's.

This is the same boat advertised with Clark and Carter. The contact is their Suffolk office at Levington Marin on the river Orwell. They state the boat is in Essex but the engine was serviced at Shotley and I think the pictures are also taken at Shotley which is opposite Harwich and Felixstowe.

There are a large number of photos that might be of interest to other owners. The price looks a bit steep at £89,950!!

I know of one in Italy which is for sale, I think for less that 60k euro, needed a bit of work to caprail and the teak looked shabby but beautiful boat. I really tried to buy her but just couldn't get the money together. She is called Viviana
