I think it looks like a 21,,but anyhow,,nice boat.

[Magnum Mark]

i have another dumb question.

I am sorry to say gail is not the person who painted the chief. There is someone by the name of barbara (last name escapes me) who painted it.

How difficult are these to restore with paint delam on the water line?

r they little pimples? Or water blisters?

You know I can't confirm the Saga of the Squadron "Apache"....I know that there were 3 that raced!!!!!

So Kilpatrick had 3 similar red Squadron XII 39 "Apaches" hmmm 39 feet is close enough to (Squadron)12 meters bytheway, a lil bit of trivia there..

[MikeyFIN]

the owner said it is Apache 23, I really think it is a 21, boat was at fort Apache for a long time! what do you think?

That´s a 21 for sure, and would be a nice HotRod with dry pipes rattling the windows All the way up to my penthouse at the 8th floor over here by the river..

thats the one, its a cut down 24 similar to a cig. I think Nykamp knew the guy and the boat... so I win? the Apache scouts had a different deck. if I recall the story correctly, this wasnt a cig or Apache design, it was just a hull that was "turned" Apache by name and number, nothing special at all except pretty paint.

Squadron wasn't 12 meters......Squadron 12 was the amount of boats he could build each year during his non compete with Cigarette!!!!

But 39 feet is 12 meters ( 11.89 m )

Don´t take this personally but gotta say.. No Sh*t Sherlock and that and the no compete clause are bits of trivia too..:chillpill:

[Toasty]

squadron XII also made a 24 and a 27 so the theory of 12 meters does not apply...
Stinson knows his material, in some cases i would prefer to read rather then type...some should do the same...

Then i guess u should read better ,,,,Squadron 39 !!!! can't be 27 or 24 ,,,if it says 39 !!!!!!!!!! Right ??

Sorry

Oh, and nobody is questioning Sean's knoledge !!!! At least not me ,, i know that he lived the APACHE ,,there and then.

[Toasty]

whatever, another prize know - it -all.

Squadron does not denote the model, squadron was the company...THERE WHERE 12 planes in a battle squadron, Aronow was only allowed to make 12 boats per year, so he named his company SQUADRON XII with the circle and star logo that was on the side of 24,27,& 39 foot boats...

I am just explaining the meters comment. Aronow was AMERICAN there was no meter thinking involved...

Somehow u don't seem to read right !!!!

He was refering to the Squadron 39 feet !!! Is all i am saying !!!
and 39 feet is 11.89 meters.
Nobody sayd the XII means meters ,,somehow there is a little missunderstanding again.
And i did not say your wrong but 39 feet can not be 24 or 27 !!??

But your right ,,,Whatever

[DAREDEVIL]

Lets just say Stinson won this trivia !!!!!


Back to Warpath anything new ??!!

[Geronimo36]

So Kilpatrick had 3 similar red Squadron XII 39 "Apaches"..

the Squadron Apache was not an Apache, it was simply a Squadron "named" Apache. I think it may have also been rigged at race headquarters.

Bobby also raced with Kipatrick in what I beleive was the first Cigarette 37'6" Ajac Hawk (now the top gun) when his operations were located in Freeport, NY.

The 28' Apache was also a project Bobby worked on with Don....

The 24' was a Luhrs/Linder design if not mistaken and Bobby got his blessing to build them.

Apache was started before the 41' and before Kramer, McManus et al.

[Geronimo36]

Wait, I think the Kilpatrick Ajac and maybe even the Squadron was rigged at In Service which was before Race Headquarters but I'd have to confirm...

[DAREDEVIL]

Could we get back on tracj and WARPATH ????!!! LOL

[Geronimo36]

Could we get back on tracj and WARPATH ????!!! LOL

I'd like to hear more about Warpath as well but the last 20 somthing pages have been more about general Apache trivia and less about Warpath, no?
