GENERAL “ORION B”, having been moulded in 1995, the original owner spent 11 years fitting the yacht out and eventually launched her in 2006 after rigging and stainless steel work was

completed in Brightlingsea, Essex. The original owners have since cruised to the West Country,

Brittany and the Channel Islands, Normandy and Netherlands. The current owners mostly cruised around Plymouth where Orion B was berthed at Sutton Harbour having sailed her round from Ipswich and then sailed her across the bay of biscay to Vigo last year.

She appears to be a well equipped, sturdy and capable blue water yacht
