"Endelig is Norwegian (at last or finally has happened). We owned a small sailboat before we started our family and have missed sailing for the past 30 years we've been without one. When we retired we found our M-17 and she had never been named. Darcy (without the paint brush) is Norwegian and commented - At last we have our sailboat - and the name was a natural. Endelig has been featured in an article about the designer of the M-17 in Good Old Boat Magazine. You can see her in issue 36 May / June 2004. She is on page nine as an example of Lyle Hess designs."
