The Sailstar Orion 19, a 19-foot centerboarder introduced in the early 1960s, represents a significant bridge between the era of wooden daysailers and the fiberglass revolution. Designed by Robert Baker—who also contributed to the design of the iconic Rhodes 19—the Orion was marketed as a "cruising daysailer." It was engineered to provide the stability and safety required for family outings while maintaining enough performance to satisfy former dinghy racers. The boat’s most notable historical distinction is its survival through the corporate transition of its builder; when Clint Pearson acquired Sailstar in 1964 to form Bristol Yachts, the Orion 19 was refined and rebranded as the Bristol 19.
