Description

THE OWNER IS NOW A TWO BOAT OWNER AND SAYS "LET'S GET THIS THING SOLD! ALL SERIOUS OFFERS WELCOME.

 

The Pacific Seacraft sailboats are proven blue water voyagers. As with any of her siblings, the Orion is built to a standard of excellence that rightfully sets her apart from the rest.

Any ocean voyager understands that a well rested crew is perhaps the most important facet of safety at sea and Henry Morschladt, one of the founders of Pacific Seacraft, designed the Orion for just that purpose. Her full keel with cut away forefoot, well distributed beam and high aspect, well balanced sail plan provide excellent directional stability and balance as well as responsiveness. She will steer herself if you trim her out correctly.

For beauty she is hard to beat; with her wineglass transom, classic bow and graceful sheer she's lovely to look at and will fill you with pride every time you approach her. Inside she's a beauty, with lots of traditional teak joinery, heavy bronze port lights and 6'2" headroom. This Orion has the "Plan A" arrangement with a spacious main saloon- a congenial wrap-around dinette area that seats four, fully enclosed head and a sit down nav station. There are sleeping accommodations for five. This particular offering also has pressure hot and cold water and a shower with shower sump, something not found on many of the Orions out there.

Per foot of length, the Orion was the most expensive model Pacific Seacraft ever built. The current owner has made many upgrades to her and has now moved up to a larger Pacific Seacraft. Come take a look at this sturdy little ship and discover what an opportunity she represents for her next owner!

Accommodations
Starting forward, the chain locker is accessible through a door at the foot of the V berth. There is drawer storage beneath the berth as well as a locker and additional storage access beneath the mattress. There is a hanging locker with a shelf above it on the starboard side. Ventilation and lighting comes from an overhead hatch, two opening ports and overhead lighting.

Aft on the port side is the enclosed head. There is a manual head with a drop down teak shower seat, a stainless steel sink and storage behind and below the sink area. A teak shower grate is on the sole, a large mirror is to your left and there is an opening port and a dorade for ventilation.

Continuing aft into the saloon, on starboard you will find the galley. There is a nice size ice box, a gimbaled stove and oven, double sink and an additional counter top that drops down next to the sink when not in use.

Aft of the galley there is a snug yet comfortable nav station with a chart table and the AC/DC panel.

On the port side aft of the head, there is a C-shaped dinette that seats four. There is storage behind and beneath that and the table drops down and converts into a double berth. Just aft of that is the quarter berth.

Hull and Deck

The Harken roller furling is placed well forward on the bowsprit and out of the way. A teak platform with double anchor rollers and a high bow pulpit make for safe work forward. Two beefy Samson posts (capped with bronze Pacific Seacraft logos) and hawse pipe are at the bow. Substantial bulwarks run the length of the deck until reaching bronze scuppers forward of the cockpit. All of the deck hardware is rugged and built to take anything the ocean can throw at it. There are ten opening ports, two hatches and two large bronze dorade vents. A teak sea hood with ample drainage protects the companionway hatch. The cockpit is deep and easily emptied by two large drains. The engine, stuffing box, steering quadrant and bilge can be accessed through a well thought out hatch in the cockpit sole. There is a deep lazarette to starboard that houses the batteries, water heater and bilge pump and still provides plenty of storage. The cockpit seats are over six feet long.

Sails and Rigging
Karlito's Way is a cutter rigged little ship with traditional tanbark sails. The head sail is a high cut Yankee on roller furling, the staysail is loose footed on a boom and self-tending. The single spreader mast is deck stepped and the shrouds are attached to beefy external chainplates at the hull. The mainsail is controlled at a cabin top traveler. There are fore and aft sheet lead tracks with blocks, all winches are bronze and the primaries are self-tailing. Halyards and mainsheet are lead aft to the cockpit for ease of single handling. In short, this is one well thought out boat!
