This Little SAILBOAT Packs a BIG Punch! At $23,900 this 1985 Pacific Seacraft Orion is ready to go! She's in the water, rigged, and ready to rock and roll. At only 27 LOA (31 feet, including bowsprit), she's much larger than she looks. The Orion has circumnavigated and were built as robust blue water cruisers. This is the 27-2 model, or the second generation, which has a longer coach roof and an extra set of ports when compared to its predecessor. She's also the "C" model layout, which means she has a drop down dinette in the main salon that makes a double berth, but more importantly she has a larger v-berth which is great for us taller folk. Plenty of room. And she holds an astounding 70 gallons of water (a lot for a 27-footer!), 20 gallons of diesel, and has an 18 gallon holding tank. She has a full complement of sails, including a brand new never used main sail (an older one is currently on the boat), a like-new jib, staysail, cruising spinnaker, rigid boom vang, solar, Yanmar diesel, wheel steering, and a chart plotter. INFINITY is a documented vessel and also comes with a fresh coat of bottom paint AND a Chesapeake Light Craft dinghy (no motor). We found her to be in GOOD condition but, as always, we recommend a professional marine survey.

We are NOT yacht brokers and have no financial interest in this boat. She is for sale by owner (FSBO) and is an estate sale.

Please, as always, be kind and courteous.

Thanks for watching!

Pacific Seacraft are well made yachts. I worked at a company situated directly across the street in Fullerton California when PS bought an old Dr.Pepper bottling facility and turned it into their shop. I would walk over from time to time, and they would let me go into the boats while they were doing the interiors and wiring and would answer questions and just show me around. In the office, on the wall there were postcards form all over the world that owners would send in.. I remember one Flicka 20 owner was in Tahiti. These boats can go anywhere. Well made American craftsmanship with timeless beauty and style.

What a great go anywhere sailboat for the price of a used car! I'm so impressed!!

[travistucker]

That's a lot of boat in 27 feet, in very nice shape.

[jackchamberlain]

What a great boat, you guys are finding a lot of great boat this summer.

Beautiful example of the Orion. Only thing I'd change is ridding it of the wheel steering and going tiller with a wind vane.

Funny how the 3-feet shorter Dana sells at a fairly steep premium to the Orion despite being less boat. Both are highly capable vessels, but the Dana has the Crealock pedigree so you pay more. Clearly Mohrschladt also knew what he was doing when he drew the Orion, not to mention the PS Mariah 31.

Cheers!✌🏼

$23, 900! I’ve actually got the cash for that. Add a solar arch and a couple of panels, add a steering vane, dodger and Bimini top and yore set. Now to work on my wife.

I remember Captain Q doing a video on the other model in the winter in the middle of Maine somewhere. That was a nice boat, but needed work. This one is a beautiful example. Would love to own this boat. Thanks for showing us guys as always.

Very nice starter boat for a solo sailor and a dog sailor Happy Sailing ⛵.

I was thinking that you guys need to show us your Morgan and take a sail with it. It would be a great video. Thx again for showing us a really nice small blue water boat.

Ken is in great shape. Rowing and talking (a lot😅) and not the least bit winded. Great job.

[blacktootherson]

Exactly the type of boat I’m looking for

[johnnylightning]

Nice Bo at. I'm not sure those Maine cruising guides would do me any good as I would likely not stay in Maine very long (it's that winter thing) but if my wife would get on a boat with me I'd be all over this one. The only improvement I can see is the dink needs an outboard, but I got that covered with my mid 1960 Johnson 6 horse that runs like a dream. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

[fredliperson]

The first thing I would do is deep six that wheel and put in a simple room saving tiller...

[todddunn]

You need some 8' Shaw and Tenney oars. Of course they would cost more than the dinghy.

PSC built a nice boat. The only issue I have seen with the Orion is there can be rot in the bow sprit, so that is something to check. Personally I am not a big fan of wooden samson posts and would prefer beefy stainless or bronze cleats, but that is just me. Overall this looks like a nice boat. Of course, a 34 or 37 would be nicer. The PSC 37 is one of my all time favorite boats.

If she doesn't sell quickly she is on my radar when I get stateside.

[AngusJohnson-eikk]

Psc 27 a lot of boat for the buck and a real blue water to boot . I almost purchased one and was thinking it would be to small. Wrong l was .

[kimhorton]

How much of a diesel can it carry? Is that engine all it would need to cruise?

[busherstudios]

Is it true that at that age you are limited in where you can cruise because you can't get full insurance for it unless you pay an arm and leg?

[nodogrunner]

Once again, a boat you could buy and sail for the first year before changing anything.

Couple comments: the longer cockpit takes away from length in the cabin; boom vang looks like a Garhauer- not hydraulic; no settee on the starboard side in cabin, I might like the galley at the aft end of the cabin
