I very much doubt that anyone has released the VPP for the Endeavour. However, if you have the hull and rig drawn (which you do) then you can derive all the data you need for a VPP analysis using WINVPP or (when I finish it) LVPP. As a note, VPPs aren't free. The best ones have been validated against real yachts, and the others have taken quite a while to write anyway.

I doubt there is a quick and cheap answer. Except to write your own, of course...
