1977 Sailcraft 44' _{(13.41 m)} Apache

This 44 ft Apache, a very great cruising catamaran and extensively thought-out sailing yacht. She has been upgraded in 2010, including a central helm protected from the weather.

This Apache 44 is a proven long-distance cruiser with lifting keels and a generous rig. This vessel has crossed oceans and has proven her stability and safety.

She was originally constructed using superior vinyl ester resins and all renovation work was done using epoxy. Lee boards and trunks were removed, greatly increasing the already ample interior spaces, and full-length skid-keels were installed, which protect the vessel and make hauling a simple and safe process and provide superior leeward resistance while maintaining a minimum 3.5-foot draft.

She has a spacious galley with full-size double-bowl sink and all electric appliances, including frig and freezer, microwave oven, induction cooktop and toaster oven, all run from 2000 watts of solar and wind charged batteries and three 2000-watt pure sinewave inverters.

Accommodations include two California king size staterooms aft, an office forward to starboard, an engineering shop forward to port and a day-bed on the bridge deck. She has a dry head amidships to port and a full-size shower/sits-bath tucked away on the bridge deck (no shower water in the bilge to deal with). There is a full-size stand-up chart table on the bridge deck as well as a separate radio station with systems monitoring station.

All of her fixed-glass windows and ports use 1/2” acrylic. There are nine bronze ports. Additional natural lighting is provided in the office and engineering shop by hexagonal deck prisms. These are the same prisms used on the replica of the tall-ship La Amistad, famous for the 1839 slave revolt, and built by artisans at Mystic Seaport Connecticut. Mystic Seaport denoted the bronze bezel that adorn the port-side prism.
