My impressions of the Apostle after a brief spin: I paddled one for part of a day surfing with a short cruise recently. It turned easily on edge, and surfed well in 1 metre waves, with no undue broaching. It doesn't track as well as my own boat, and needs the rudder down to stop a little wallowing. I didn't like the large cockpit, and found my knee slipping out from under the deck and pushing the spray cover when trying to lean/edge. This would be curable by fitting braces or foam etc. The rudder blade is weak, and bent sideways while in the up position, in surf. All in all, not a bad boat.
