ABLE APOGEE 50
RENEGADE HIGHLIGHTS
Two-Time Boat Of The Year Winner – The Able Apogee 50, with her purposeful design and stellar offshore performance, has the unique distinction of earning the highest honor bestowed in yachting not once, but twice. The Apogee 50 first won Cruising World’s coveted Boat Of The Year award in 1994. Following a successful production run of 9 vessels, the Apogee molds were purchased by Tom Morris of Morris Yachts who was looking to add a fast, bluewater cruiser with long legs to the Morris lineup. The Apogee was dubbed the Morris 51 and went on to win Boat Of The Year again in 2003, cementing the legendary status of this boat design in cruising circles the world over.
EXTERIOR SPACES
With a flush foredeck, wide side decks, and a clean, uncluttered rigging layout, the Apogee 51 has all the hallmarks of a true passage maker. At the helm, outstanding visibility on all points of sail is evident. Her hard dodger offers safe and dry seating while underway, and generous space in the aft cockpit allows for comfortable entertaining, cocktails, and dining.
HULL & DECK
Built by Maine craftsmen to the highest standard, the legendary Able construction lives up to its reputation. Chuck Paine’s design has proven fast and capable in a full range of conditions. The use of Baltek coring, Kevlar, and the omission of coring materials around thru-hulls offers a light, stiff hull that is sure to remain dry. Designed with passage making in mind, the deck is functional in layout and uncluttered.
SAIL PLAN
The Apogee 50 features a powerful sail plan with a high aspect ratio that delivers a great turn of speed. Her inboard and outboard genoa leads allow for a myriad of options when choosing sheeting angles to optimize performance. A Leisure Furl boom ensures that shortening sail is drama free and eliminates the need to go forward. Rig up the a-sail for reaching angles and watch this thoroughbred stretch her legs.
INTERIOR SPACES
Renegade’s interior offers the perfect balance of comfort and functionality. Just through the companionway you will find the nav station to starboard and galley to port. Her generous salon and large table can accommodate 7 for dining. With a master cabin forward and VIP accommodation aft, the interior arrangement provides privacy for owners and guests.
GALLEY
The U-shaped galley is functional and spacious with a design that lends itself to comfort and security underway. A large refrigerator and freezer will ensure you can carry ample provisions for extended cruising. Cooking is a joy with ample storage outboard and aft, deep twin stainless steel sinks, and generous counter space.
CABINS
The spacious master forward boasts a queen berth, settee, and ensuite washer dryer. Forward of the master is access to a large storage area through a watertight bulkhead door. The aft cabin features a large berth with generous storage. Both cabins are clad in cherry offering a warm, cozy ambiance.
HISTORY
Renegade’s current owners moved straight into a refit upon acquiring her. She was thoroughly refreshed with all systems being upgraded or replaced over the period from 2018-2019. Not stopping there, they have continually maintained her in Bristol fashion.
