History

As an Apache catamaran, Foreigner is a rare design classic, something akin to the "E-type" of multihulls. She has a wonderful provenance and is frequently recognised around the Caribbean with her iconic lines and sleek shape. Her prototype was Apache Sundancer, famously a racing cat competing with the likes of British Oxygen.

Foreigner has been continuously invested in, meticulously kept up-to-date and extremely well maintained and looked after, throughout the 24 years with the current owner who is very reluctantly selling for health reasons.
