Description

The Apogee 50 designed by Chuck Paine and built by Able Marine is sleek and fast with an easily driven hull shape. Her long waterline of 45 plus feet and her powerful sail plan spells speed and comfort. With her lead ballast keel weighing in at 11,400 lbs, a raked back aluminum mast and fool-proof conventional slab reefing makes it easy to handle in all conditions, she has remarkable stability and momentum. This modern hull design, combined with the easily managed sail plan, makes this boat very special. While the Apogee is an amazing sailing vessel, she is also a lovely yacht down below that is a wonderful home for a couple and occasional guests. She is light and bright and warm and solid. What’s unique about MARA is, that she is the ONLY THREE STATEROOM, TWO BATH Apogee 50 EVER BUILT. She makes the perfect Family world voyager.
