Built for speed while being spacious and comfortable to live aboard, the boat (originally named Isis) with bright red hulls was launched in 2004 and regarded as a build ahead of her time, showcasing numerous attributes of a designer keenly in tune with high-profile racing yachts of the day.

As for what Apache’s future holds, there’s plenty of family cruising on the horizon in New Zealand and the Pacific Islands and possibly a Coastal Classic or two.

But if there’s one thing that you can be sure of, there’s no way they’ll be going anywhere slowly.

interesting rig changes

 

“We’ve made some good weight gains in the rig by replacing the nitronic rod forestay with a Future Fibre torsional cable and fitting EC6 carbon/titanium standing rigging, both supplied by Southern Spars.

i had thought kotuku(RH60'?) + cation(RH60') were nz's closest to gunboat

certainly got the looks

 

but i hear apache would be a better comparison, at least on power to weight ratio?

I was impressed at how all the big crusing Multis pushed this year. Kotuku came passed us on Lucifer (8.5m Tri) at Rangi light with the Genny on and flying a hull. And it wasn't "flying a hull while bearing away" it was "flying a hull and just leaning on it" 

 

Romanza did a huge catchup job to finish within sight of the other big multis, considering they broke a Zero halyard on the start and only passed us in Bream Bay when we could no longer see the other big multis.

 

I took a couple of photos of Apache as I liked her mooring setup but they show what a slim, light boat she must be.

"loads on these multis are immense"

 

wider tris generally have an even greater struggle to manage invisible gusts

 

than their skinnier brethren -  cats

 

not really related

 

but beau geste's mod70 twin was here very well rigged

 

up to a point....

 

almost, some would say, DID, kill the class

 

something to do with being unable to blow an overloaded traveller?

Crikey Erice that convoluted spaghetti you script as posts beggars belief.

Try expressing your opinions in a format that most can decipher and maybe someone will actually be interested.

Ok so you are special needs well enjoy it but give us a break.

I know it’s a complicated world but that doesn’t mean you have a free pass to add to its complexities.
