Used Orion 50 Sailboats for Sale

The Orion 50 is a robust and comfortable bluewater cruising ketch, designed by the accomplished American naval architect Gary Mull and built by the highly regarded Ta Shing Yacht Building Ltd. in Taiwan. Produced between 1983 and 1987, with only seven units ever built, this nearly 50-foot vessel was conceived to combine the spaciousness and comfort of a liveaboard yacht with the dependable sailing characteristics required of an ocean passagemaker. Renowned for its stability, stiffness, and excellent righting capability, the Orion 50 earned a reputation as a reasonably good performer for its moderate weight class.
