Great and noble story for this drawing by Dick Carter who personally dedicated himself to his birth. A wooden prototype was created from which the Orca 43 fiberglass mold was created at the Sailboat shipyard, which then became the Cantiere del Pardo dei Grand Soleil in 1974. One of the first four Orca 43s was bought by Raul Gardini (the one from Moro di Venezia) who successfully competed in the Mediterranean Championship and the Middle Sea Race. Very particular: very slender bow and completely covered flush deck. Unusual.
