Overview
About this vessel
BITTERSWEET is an Able Apogee 50, a Chuck Paine design that epitomizes Maine boatbuilding craftsmanship and bluewater pedigree. Built by Able Marine in Southwest Harbor, Maine, the Apogee 50 combines performance, strength, and timeless beauty. With her powerful rig, balanced hull form, deep fin keel and water ballast, she is a sailor's yacht—capable of crossing oceans swiftly and safely, while offering the comfort and elegance of a finely finished cruising yacht.
The Apogee 50 was conceived as a performance cruiser with the heart of a racer and the soul of a passagemaker. BITTERSWEET carries that spirit with a warm, inviting interior satin varnished cherry, robust offshore systems, and a deck layout optimized for shorthanded sailing. She has received a high level of care and attention over recent years and shows as a far newer boat. From the exterior, her hull, deck and spars are shiny. Portlights and hatch lenses are clear. Sail handling systems are updated and operate well, including recent Harken deck hardware. Electronics have recently been replaced, and she features a full Victron energy package including lithium batteries. Her interior has been refinished and is in beautiful condition. The engine room/mechanical space is clean and well organized and systems throughout show true pride of ownership. BITTERSWEET represents a rare opportunity to acquire a Maine-built yacht of this caliber.
