Apple - has anyone built or sailed one?

20 odd years ago I built Ian Oughtred's Blackfish, which I still use but now keep on the Isles of Scilly.  As I am getting on a bit and not as spritely as I once was, I am thinking of building something with a bit more room, and not as tender.  And as I will be sailing in the Bristol channel, I need something a bit quicker to combat the tides.

I like the look of Apple, either as a lugsail ketch or with the gaff cutter rig.

Has anyone built one, and what is the sailing performance like?

Peter Lord, an Australian living in Sweden built one and has raided it extensively. I think he is very happy with the boat -

I think you should contact Tom Dunderdale and ask him if thereĀ“s any Apples near you.

Thanks for your email.  It looks bigger in this photo than the others I've seen!
