ORPLID  

OYSTER 45/02

She has just been round the world and is ready to go again.

I had the pleasure of sailing in company with Orplid in the ABC's, Panama, Society Islands, New Zealand and she is one of the best and most comfortable cruising boats I have ever seen.

One very careful owner who maintains her to the highest standards
