Old racing yachts never die, they simply sail off into a tropical sunset. Just such a fate was awaiting Alan Bond's former America's Cup training vessel, "Apollo III", when she finished her racing career. 

"Apollo III" is a 55ft ocean racing that has campaigned in most of the major yacht races around the world . Catering for a maximum of only 12 guests her flat decks and full headroom throughout offers comfort with the excitement of fast sailing. You too can become part of the crew of this performance racing yacht. Set the sails, grind the winches or take a turn at the helm
