Used Osprey Sailboats for Sale

The Osprey is a high-performance, two-person sailing dinghy renowned for its speed, exhilarating handling, and enduring legacy within the racing community. Conceived with a clear performance objective, the Osprey was originally designed for the 1952 Olympic two-man dinghy selection trials. Although the Flying Dutchman was ultimately chosen, the Osprey, a significantly smaller vessel, notably proved faster in the initial rounds of the trials, setting a precedent for its capabilities. This 17.5-foot monohull was designed by the esteemed Ian Proctor, and early models were notably built by Gmach & Co. Ltd., a pioneering British company instrumental in the early adoption of fiberglass construction.
