A development of the earlier NORTHERNER 28 (1966). The deck and coach roof was re-designed by John Duncanson.
The COMPASS 28 and COMPASS 29 are among the most popular boats of this size in Australia.

The COMPASS 29 is based on the hull of the COMPASS 28 with more freeboard, a revised deck and more interior space. The hull shape was also significantly modified. The COMPASS 29 was supposed to replaced the COMPASS 28. But many new customers preferred the more traditional appearance of the earlier boat, so that, at least for a certain period of time, both models were built and sold concurrently.

On the company’s brochure, W. Shad Turner is listed as designer of the LANCER 25. It has been said that this design derived, in part, from the COLUMBIA T-23. The tooling had somehow been provided by Richard Valdez, co-founder of Columbia Yachts, and brother to Rob Valdez, one of the principals of Endeavour Yachts. The boats were actually built on contract by Endeavour at their east coast plant.
