Was Apache Heritage a 47 cut down to 45 correct?

Im not sure what size it was but thats the longest looking 45 or 47 ive ever seen. Makes you wonder if the number 50 that it raced with means feet?

 

[xlr8by]

I believe it was a 50 cut down to 47ft

I thought Apache Heritage was a 47' that was cut down to 45' to be able to see over the bow, and the number 50 was just the number given to the boat? see this post http://www.seriousoffshore.com/forums/showpost.php?p=374308&postcount=1664

You are correct. Any questions on Apache Heritage contact Richie Powers. He rigged and throttled it.

It was not a 50 it looks long because the freeboard was cut down

The Heritage was not shortened. They took the deck off and cut the hull sides down. If you look at the bow from the side, where the keel curves upward, then cut a foot off the top, you effectively shorten the boat.

The Kid Apache 45 was full-height and was shortened by damming up the mold- it's 2' shorter at the transom end. Since no deck mold existed for the 47, the boats were built with sectioned decks. They were put together with a bow piece, an engine compartment and cockpit piece and a center. All molded out of the 41 deck mold.

That side part of the boat is the freeboard section which when cut down would obviously shorten the boat.....RDS as Chris states was built in a dammed mold to shorten the length but not the freeboard!!!!!

 

[Sean Stinson]

The deck was usually sectioned into the 41 deck mold in front of the fairing and the rest was either added to the engine room and/or the cockpit!!!!!

Why no 47' with a 9 man race setup stinson?

Was Apache Heritage a 47 cut down to 45 correct? Quick question on the 45's why did they build only one? RDS seems to have ran great and the power to weight ratio would be better then a 47 or 41 right?

I also could be all wrong to....thanks for any information. I am almost finished with uploading my pictures from the 86-89 worlds any suggestions on a website where everyone can easily view them?

now the we answer your question!! where are your pictures!!

Sean, any idea if/when they damned the 47' to make the 45', did they add rocker to the rear quarter of the boat? Maybe 2ft wasn't enough?

From what I know of the 36' (damned 41'), when they got the plug from Ben they had to build rocker into the bottom so it functioned correctly.:driving:

89 was when they dammed the mold for the 45.....

Magnum Mark told me that my boat was originally built for Howard Quam, but he decided not to use it. Any ideas on that story?
