1980 Pacific Seacraft Orion 27

The Pacific Seacraft Orion 27 is a well-regarded small cruiser built for capable offshore sailing. This 1980 example features a robust fiberglass hull with full keel, nonskid deck, and traditional tiller steering. The sail plan includes roller furling jib, staysail, and fully battened mainsail, supported by a custom bowsprit, 27-inch stanchions, and lifelines. A 16 hp Yanmar 2GM20F diesel with direct drive and bronze propeller provides reliable auxiliary power.

The interior accommodates cruising with 6'2" headroom and a comfortable layout for extended time aboard. The boat is fitted with an autopilot and offers practical living space for offshore work and relaxation.
