Ortac, R.O.R.C. II ClassRef. CP0031

The Ortac is a historical vessel. She was the second design of Robert Clark (the first, Mystery, was only 26 feet long on water line) and she won her first race, even if she was not yet properly tuned, against the most important ocean racers of the moment. She started the famous career of her designer, comparable to that of Olin Stephens himself, who had quite the same age. Her particular rig, with a mast stepped well aft of the standard of the moment, made her sail plan divided fifty/fifty between main and genoa. Ortac winning career lasted decades and nowadays she continues to be in quite original conditions. She is being restored by a well known shipwright, following the indications of a recent survey. These works are included in the asking price, recently reduced.
