Used Orion 33 Sailboats for Sale

The Orion 33 stands as a testament to intelligent design from the International Offshore Rule (IOR) era, conceived as a versatile vessel capable of both spirited occasional racing and comfortable family cruising. Designed by the renowned E.G. van de Stadt, and notably built by shipyards including the prestigious Huisman (now Royal Huisman) in the Netherlands, this masthead sloop emerged in 1976 as a popular choice for sailors seeking a balanced blend of performance and liveability. While some examples trace their lineage directly to Huisman's skilled craftsmen, many Orion 33s were also constructed by other builders or even home-built, a testament to the popularity and accessibility of Van de Stadt's design.
