FV Endeavour was officially launched on 30th August 2016 amid a large crowd of supportive staff, contractors and suppliers.
The name “ENDEAVOUR” has strong historical links to Lyttelton, and its dictionary definition (to attempt to achieve a goal, earnest, prolonged and industrious effort) also in many ways reflect the Stark Family’s Business attitudes, achievements and aspirations.
Launch days are very special occasions, the culmination of a huge effort in design and building of the boat now presented here today, likewise the actual launch celebrations are also carefully thought out to provide special significance.
Jean Stark performed the official launching duties. On preparing for launch day, we identified Jean had not previously launched a vessel. Given Dave Stark (Frank and Ralph’s brother) had 50+ years working for Stark Bros this possible omission needed to be investigated — we found Frank Stark had asked Jean many years ago but she was too busy with six children — so had said NO. This time Andrew Stark managed to convince Jean she was still up to the task and secure a YES — a very fitting tribute to the four generations of Stark Family attending this ceremony today.
Endeavour represents at least the 43rd commercial boat longer than 10 metres built by Stark Bros, and is the second biggest by displacement weight behind the Frontier at 146 tonnes.
The ENDEAVOUR is fully equipped with a variable pitch propeller, onboard salt water ice maker, computer controlled split hydraulic winches with auto scrolling, and will fish alongside our other vessels — FV Frontier, FV Legacy and FV Nessie J on the East Coast South Island, fishing depths from 10m to about 500m.
With 58 years of Stark Bros history, lots of boats built, and far more ships dry docked for repair, we sincerely trust that the majority of the stories about Stark Bros would reflect the honesty, integrity and hard working nature of the Starks and their team of loyal staff — and of course their fishermen.
