SUMMARY:
Missing Years is one of the beautiful, most versatile yachts available. She is a rugged world cruiser that is both exciting and comfortable. The Orion's high aspect, well balanced sail plan and cut away forefoot make here easy to handle, fast and responsive while her full keel provides the directional stability and rudder protection that are so crucial to extended to cruising. Bottom line: this boat will take you anywhere in the world you want to go in style and safety!
REMARKS:
I love this boat; however, our priorities have changed. I would rather see Missing Years in the hands of someone who will spend more time sailing her.
David, please mark my Pacific Seacraft Orion 27 (Missing Years) as SOLD.
Even though I did not sell her from leads directly from your web site, the
ONLY leads that I did receive were through your web site - EXCELLENT. I did
advertise briefly in Tell Tales magazine and on Boats.com.
Thanks again for your superb service, and I will definitely check your site
for any new lake sailboats I might be interested in.
Thanks again, -kent
